Hubert Sabino-Brunette
Hubert Sabino-Brunette a complété son doctorat à l’Université de Montréal, où il a également enseigné le cinéma québécois. Fasciné par les écrits sur le cinéma et les films, sa thèse porte sur la critique cinématographique dans les quotidiens montréalais des années 1920 et son mémoire sur la réception critique du cinéma québécois, dans les revues québécoises de cinéma des années 1960-70. Passionné de cinéma, il a développé une dépendance au documentaire qu’il tente de soigner en s’impliquant dans les comités de programmation des RIDM, du Cinéma sous les étoiles et de Tënk, notamment. Il enseigne également l'histoire du documentaire, depuis 2018, à l’École des métiers du cinéma et de la vidéo (EMCV) du Cégep de Rivière-du-Loup. Il affectionne particulièrement les oeuvres cinématographiques qui explorent les possibles du cinéma, tout en appréciant les documentaires plus chargés socialement et politiquement. Coups de coeur : Dida (Nikola Ilic et Corina Schwingraber Ilic) Ne croyez surtout pas que je hurle (Frank Beauvais) Leviathan (Lucien Castaing-Taylor et Verana Paravel) Les printemps incertains (Sylvain L'Espérance) Sans frapper (Alexe Poukine) No Crying at the Dinner Table (Carol Nguyen) Yours in Sisterhood (Irene Lusztig) Primas (Laura Bari) Hale County This Morning, This Evening (RaMell Ross)

The Gleaners & I

All over France, Agnès Varda has met gleaners, reclaimers, collectors and finders. By necessity, chance or choice, they are in contact with the remains of others. Their universe is surprising. Potatoes, apples and other discarded foods, objects without masters and clocks without hands, this is the gleaning of our time. But Varda is also the gleaner of the title and her documentary is subjective...

Destierros
Border mechanisms that act on migrants are many. Moving from shelter to shelter and hopping on trains, migrants head up north across Mexico to reach the United States and Canada. During the U.S election, migrants are more than aware that it could be their last chance to cross the border. Following their trajectory, Destierros draws a path of reclusion. A path where time remains the longest road...

Now, with a folk, electro or reggae sound, the teweikan - which means traditional drum - still strives today to create ...
