Quebec Film Week

Description

The San Francisco Film Society, SODEC, the Quebec Government agency that supports the production, distribution and export of Quebec cultural products and the Quebec Government Office, Los Angeles present Québec Film Week. As Quebec celebrates its quadricentennial, there could be no better time to draw attention to its singular cinematic tradition. With its own awards ceremony (the Jutras) and a vital history of regionally specific films portraying universal concerns, the cinema of Quebec offers moviegoers a plethora of riches. Along with seven recent works—many of which have won awards at festivals and showcases—the Film Society pays tribute to this history with a retrospective screening of Claude Jutra’s Mon Oncle Antoine. Included are films by brilliant established filmmakers such as Denys Arcand (Jesus of Montreal, SFIFF 1990) and Léa Pool (Set Me Free, SFIFF 2000) alongside particularly strong debut works and provocative nonfiction features about Antarctica and the art world. This special program highlights the best of contemporary cinema and provides Bay Area audiences with unique opportunities to view exciting new films from Quebec and engage with bold filmmakers whose voices and visions will reward the adventurous.
