Tout le temps, tout le temps, tout le temps...?
In collaboration with the Tënk platform, which celebrates documentary filmmaking in all its forms, we are honoring the exceptional contributions of filmmaker and documentarian Fernand Dansereau with a rare screening of one of his most iconic films.
In the presence of the filmmaker, Fernand Dansereau
A Quebec family scattered across the big city reunites in the countryside, in Sainte-Théodosie, under the roof of Raoul Béliveau, and discusses the importance of love, the life-worth-living, the need for freedom and the society-that's-badly-made. The film was made in close collaboration with thirteen citizens from the east end of Montreal.
Fernand Dansereau
Fernand Dansereau is a Québécois filmmaker, producer, screenwriter, editor, and cinematographer, born in 1928 in Montreal. In 1955, he joined the National Film Board of Canada at the invitation of Pierre Juneau. Over time, he took on various roles, including on-screen host, screenwriter, director, producer, and eventually head of French production. As a producer, he played a key role in several landmark works during the golden age of direct cinema. After leaving the NFB, he helped establish the Social Research Group, where he directed Saint-Jérôme (1968), a commissioned film analyzing the impact of economic changes on workers. Within this group, he also directed Tout le temps, tout le temps, tout le temps...? in 1969. He continued to focus on popular action and social intervention throughout the 1970s before turning to television in the 1980s and eventually returning to documentary filmmaking in the 2000s. He was received the Albert-Tessier Prize in 2005.
