Les films du FCVQ
The 13th Quebec City Film Festival (FCVQ) will set Quebec’s political capital ablaze from September 11 to 15, 2024!
For over a decade, the FCVQ has been celebrating cinema with the public from the Greater Quebec City area and Eastern Quebec. Bridging fiction and documentary, as well as local, national, and international films, the FCVQ is an event that brings together cinephiles and the general public for a festive and friendly gathering. The FCVQ aims to become the most civic-minded film event in the country, with an artistic program designed around five major issues of our time: identity, immigration, gender equality, the environment, and Indigenous narratives.
The 2024 edition of the festival will feature 140 films, including 105 short films, 11 dazzling films in competition, and several world premieres. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the cinematic creations of Quebec-based filmmakers, such as David Nadeau-Bernatchez, a director to whom Tënk is currently dedicating a focus!

Filmed at the Victoria Stadium in Quebec and developed with the colla...
Rumba Rules, New Genealogies

Ya Mayi, Lumumba, Xéna La Guerrière, Pitchou Travolta, Alfred Solo, Soleil Patron and many others: nearly thirty artists feed the creative life of the Brigade Sarbati Orchestra. By entering the group and the city of...
Light Plays
Old footage from 16mm film is scratched, drawn upon, and experimentally animated with a quantum dots solution. The film seems at first about sound, the moon, and exotic birds, but it is more about narration, experimentation, and playfulness.
The Long Wail of a Passing Train Slips into the Heart of the Ghosts and Everything Explodes into Silence
An experimental animated film built around a single sound recording that evokes travel, the need to communicate, solitude, fragility, the desire for freedom, the arrival of fall, and our ephemeral existence.
