Tributes — Retrospectives — Films about cinema
QUéBEC, Canada | 102 minutes | 2019
The enfant terrible of Quebec cinema is back with the story of Albert, a beekeeper and mead brewer working from Montreal’s rooftops. Enter Brother Marie-Victorin who, bored to tears up in heaven, comes along to help. Backed by an impressive cast — including his favourite actor Roy Dupuis, who he worked with on Coteau rouge — André Forcier dishes out this delightful comedy/drama blend of dreams and reality, friendship and romance, and whose unique brand of magic realism injects environmental hot topics with a welcome touch of fantasy.WORLD PREMIEREAndré Forcier and cast & crew will be in attendance
