Season of the Witch
La scénariste et musicienne Marie-Douce St-Jacques propose un cycle consacré aux sorcières et leurs multiples métamorphoses dans une variété de genres et sous-genres, en tenant compte des revendications féministes actuelles qui commentent cette figure essentielle et mythique. Une table-ronde animée par Valérie Lefebvre-Faucher de la revue Liberté complétera ce cycle foisonnant.
A dissatisfied housewife seeks to escape her mundane existence by dabbling in the occult, which causes her life to spiral completely out of control.
George A. Romero
George A. Romero was an American-Canadian film director, writer, editor and actor. He is regarded as an influential pioneer of the horror film genre, particularly zombie films, for which he has been called an "icon." The first half of his Night of the Living Dead series — Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978), and Day of the Dead (1985) — are considered three of the best and most influential horror films ever made, and were major contributors to the image of the zombie in modern culture. Noted for his frequent social commentary, Romero had a prolific career outside of zombie films, albeit mostly still within horror: The Crazies (1973), The Amusement Park (1975), Martin (1977), Creepshow (1982) and Monkey Shines (1988) are regarded as minor cult works, as is his anthology television series Tales from the Darkside (1983-1988). His ventures outside horror include the feminist drama Season of the Witch (1972) and the action film Knightriders (1981), while his final three films form the second half of his Night of the Living Dead franchise.
