Maricoquette qui a ni chaud ni frette + Oscar Thiffault : Ah! Ouigne in hin in!
This recurring program showcases works from Québec’s audiovisual heritage, digitized and restored by the Cinémathèque québécoise, or thanks to its contribution. Since 2018, we have restored around fifty independent films thanks to the support of the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec as part of its Digital Cultural Plan. Other works have been restored in collaboration with local or international cultural organisations, using elements preserved in our collections.
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.
