CQ 60 ans : Films d'ancien.ne.s préposé.e.s

May 23rd - 25th, 2023

Since my arrival at the Cinémathèque québécoise in 1998, I have had the opportunity to work with several young colleagues who were hired as receptionists or Café-bar attendants. All fresh out of college or university, they showed a real passion for cinema and saw the Cinémathèque québécoise, I imagine, as a place where they could live this passion with even more intensity. Today, we see that some of the most prominent figures in Quebec cinema today began their professional careers at the Cinémathèque by selling you movie tickets or serving you a beer. Without claiming to be exhaustive, we wish, on the occasion of this 60th anniversary, to pay tribute to some of these former colleagues whose excellence, talent and sensitivity we hope, in all honesty, are in part the result of their time at the Cinémathèque québécoise.
