Spotlight on our cinema
QUéBEC, Canada | 80 minutes | 2019
His monumental sculptures, often constructed as public performance, paved the way for contemporary art in Quebec. Born in 1929, Armand Vaillancourt is a towering figure of rebellion. A revolutionary and a tireless militant for the dream of a Quebec nation, Vaillancourt is also one of our pioneering ecologists, whose works explore the visceral connection between nature and creation. Treated with kid gloves by a deeply sympathetic documentarian, Vaillancourt has never been more voluble, sharing his love of materials and his astonishingly sharp, modern take on things. A portrait of a legendary force of nature.WORLD PREMIEREQ&A with the cast and crew on October 10th and 18thThe film will be screened in its original french version on October 10th and with English subtitles on October 18thIn collaboration with theMusée d'art contemporain de Montréal .
