Emilienne and the Passage of Time
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.
The August 28 screening will be followed by a discussion with the director.
Former flight attendant Émilienne, 76, lives on a small farm in Centre-du-Québec. As the seasons go by, she helps us discover a way of life in symbiosis with the living and the passing of time.
Coralie Lemieux-Sabourin
Coralie Lemieux-Sabourin has a passion for writing in all its forms. Wandering freely between cinema and theater, she is especially interested in people who live their lives outside established norms, and in a broader sense, in our contradictions and resistances, exploring forms that question reality. She directed two short documentaries, including Processions (2017), about the daily life of an unusual senior citizen in a residence, which won the Best Film Award at the Âme à l'Écran festival (Festival Regard) in 2018. Emilienne and the Passage of Time is her first feature-length documentary.
