Montreal, September 1984. Within a span of five days, Montreal’s Olympic Stadium hosts Pope John Paul II and Michael Jackson. A perfect opportunity to explore the impact of the media on the masses. With caustic irony, this film gives voice to people excluded by Church doctrine: the gay and lesbian community, and women who’ve had abortions or been abused. Beyond documentary, fiction or news repo...
Éloge du retour
"My father was taken from me when I was a child, then my mother and my brother when I was barely a teenager. I left, to isolate myself, to escape, to flee. Can time erase the past? Upon my return from a long exile, I remember. Travelling back in time, inner movements, the future beckons. A tribute to my homeland." (Lysanne Thibodeau)

Set against the backdrop of the 1970 October Crisis, the film is a frontal assault - denouncing a “consumer society” viewed as the ultimate embodiment of evil.

To meet him is to find oneself at the heart of daily racism and to observe how the Islamophobic and hateful discourse that he preaches is transformed into violence and destruction. Yet we are in a country where 90% of the population practices Buddhism, a religion based on a peaceful, tolerant and non-violent way of life.
Parfum de lumière

This photographic and cinematographic perfume reveals a fictional city crossed in space and time, Hong Kong prefiguring the destiny of Shanghai, and gives us a glimpse of the megacities of the 21st century. But Serge Clément takes us far beyond and below history, into multidimensional chiaroscuro that speaks to us of him and of us, of what we are and what we will be. A film without words.
