Vidéographe vidéo-club: First Works

Vidéographe invites film buffs to a screening of First Works, a program bringing together the first short films of recognized artists in the film industry. The event will include a discussion with several guest filmmakers, including Chloé Leriche, Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre, Anne Émond, Alexa-Jeanne Dubé and Étienne Lacelle.

Through the programming of these nine films made between 1988 and 2019, Vidéographe celebrates the importance of audacity and experimentation in the journey of several unique voices in Quebec and Canadian cinema. From fiction to animation and documentary, these short films demonstrate deliberate risk-taking in terms of form, themes addressed, production methods and technologies used.
