Special Effects
For the magazine's twentieth anniversary this year, a series of screenings has been planned on the double bill principle, with the main focus on a selection of rarely-seen films. Other movies in the program are also important milestones in the development of the critics' dialogue within one of Quebec's most dynamic film magazines.
To discuss the horrors and rumors that cinema stirs up, the screening will be followed by a round-table with Denis Côté, Simon Laperrière and Justine Smith.
Actress Mary Jean Waterman abandons her husband Keefe and her little boy to pursue a career in New York. Chased by her ex, from whom she escapes, she finds a place to hide with Christopher Neville, who has offered her a role in his next film. The role is far from what she expected.
