Depuis 10 ans, le Prix collégial du cinéma québécois, parrainé par Québec Cinéma, célèbre notre cinéma en le plaçant au centre des regards de la communauté collégiale. Ce cycle soulignera le 10e anniversaire de cette grande fête qui permet aux étudiant.e.s de se sensibiliser au cinéma d’ici et présentera les films lauréats du PCCQ depuis 2012.
The mission of the Centre d'art et essai de la Cinémathèque québécoise (CAECQ) is to primary program Quebec-made documentaries and independent fiction, as well as international documentaries, animated and foreign films, while encouraging opportunities for meetings between the public and the artists. Its programming is presented in conjunction with the Cinémathèque québécoise’s under the label New releases.
In the presence of the director François Delisle
A separate couple meet again after ten years when we found the body of their missing son. During their forced reunion, they both handle the death of their child in their own way. Amid the guilt of losing a loved one, they haltingly move toward affirmation of life, acceptance of death and even the possibility of reconciliation. Chorus is a love story that emerges from mourning and leads to two survivors clinging to each other as if to heal the deepest cut of all.
François Delisle
Born in Montreal in 1967, François Delisle began his career by making short films between 1987 and 1991. His first feature, Ruth (1994), had critics raving and established his reputation in Canada and Europe. In 2003, after founding his production company Films 53/12, he produced his second film, Happiness is a Sad Song (2004), which won several awards and brought him international acclaim. His next two films, You (2007) and Twice a Woman (2010), had a similar reception. The Meteor (2013) and Chorus (2015) screened at the Sundance and Berlin festivals. Both films were major international hits, screening at festivals and theaters in many countries around the world. In 2019 and 2020, Delisle directed Cash Nexus, his seventh feature, and CHSLD, a documentary short about his mother in her twilight years. For over 30 years, he has been exploring the human condition through a personal, uncompromising cinema.
