La couleur de Réal
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 screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker
An ocean separates them, the Atlantic. A granddaughter sets off in search of her grandfather. She saw a lot of him, but they never really met. At 94, Réal Arsenault has a life worth telling. A painter who significantly influenced Quebec's contemporary art, he dedicated much of his time to politics, working with supporters of a free and liberated Quebec. This film is a tribute to his life and art, while questionning what we leave on Earth, the legacy given to our children and grandchildren, and the important of communication within a family. (MNBAQ)
