Frédéric Back’s Centennial

This screening pays tribute to one of the greatest artists of animation cinema, the Quebecois painter and filmmaker Frédéric Back, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday on April 8, 2024. Poetic, tender, impressionistic, and an early ambassador for the environmental cause, Frédéric Back's cinema continues to amaze and move audiences. The four films presented, all preserved in our collections, reflect the scope of his talent and inventiveness.
