Pascale Ferland
As a visual arts student at the University of Québec in Montréal, Pascale Ferland made several art videos, some of which won awards in the academic community. In 2003, she directed her first feature-length film, Something Like Immortality, a finalist in the Jutra Awards Best Documentary category. She then founded Qui Vivra Verra Films so that she could produce her own movies, which led to Tree With Severed Branches (2005) and Adagio pour un gars de bicycle (2008), selected for the closing ceremony of the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma. In 2012, she scripted, directed and produced her first feature-length fiction, Ressac, shot in a remote region of Québec. She is currently writing two feature-length fictions, Rapace and La Position des Astres. Her most recent documentary, Pauline Julien, Intimate and Political (2018), has received numerous awards, and, like her other films, has been selected in several national and international festivals. Her work addresses issues concerning passion and obsession for art and cinema. She is also interested in history and collective memory.

This film shows us the work and everyday life of three such artists. Harshly judged by their compatriots, they face the devastating ...
Adagio for a Biker
Pionnier du cinéma direct et cinéaste indépendant de la première heure, René Bail est cependant une des figures les plus méconnues du cinéma des années 50. Son oeuvre marginale n'a certes pas été servie par le destin tragique de l'homme qui, à l'âge de 40 ans, fut victime d'un terrible accident qui le laissa brûlé au troisième degré sur plus de la moitié de son corps. Condamnée à la relégation,...
