Thursday February, 9th and Friday February, 10th, the festival will celebrate French Canadian cinema by showing four engaging documentaries, in collaboration with the Festival de films de l’environnement de Montréal.

Those who are interested in the following subjects will be in for a treat, as the films will tackle either the subject of renewable sources of energy in North America (Seeking the Current), beekeeping in Canada and in the rest of the world (The Ailing Queen) or the digging of an open gold mine in the middle of a little Canadian town (L’Or des autres).

The fourth documentary, The Hole Story, directed by Ricahrd Desjardins and Robert Monderie, who already did Le Peuple Invisible and L’Erreur Boréale, will be screened in the Official competition. A webdocumentary made around this film, which accounts for the different forms of abuse that result from the restless exploitation of the Canadian mines, is accessible from our platform Fife replay.
