Maricoquette qui a ni chaud ni frette + Oscar Thiffault : Ah! Ouigne in hin in!
This recurring cycle showcases works from Quebec’s audiovisual heritage, digitized and restored by the Cinémathèque Québécoise, thanks largely to the support of the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec as part of its Digital Cultural Plan. Since 2018, the project has enabled the Cinémathèque to restore around 50 films, with a focus on independent cinema.
This independent film, directed by Mitsu Daudelin, Estelle Lebel and Rachel Saint-Pierre, is typical of the activist production of the period. Based on a traditional oral story, it humorously denounces poverty and precariousness in the form of a musical film inspired by Berthold Brecht. The ending is particularly sarcastic.
This restoration is part of the implementation of a measure in Quebec's Digital Cultural Plan.
