Familiar Grounds
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 actor Francis LaHaye
Maryse and her husband are desperate to sell a backhoe sitting abandoned in their suburban yard. Her brother, Benoit, is trapped in endless adolescence, sharing their childhood home with their invalid father. Benoit is enamoured with a single mom named Nathalie, and he’s hoping to finally grow up by living with her… but Nathalie’s son does not approve. A serious accident at the factory where Maryse works, a strange series of coincidences, and the arrival of a Man claiming to come from the future launch Maryse and Benoit on a life-changing road trip.
