Cinéma Québécois examines the evolution of our cinema through its genres, its subjects and the comments of its craftsmen. In a time when our cinema joins more than ever its audience, Cinéma Québécois will review its origins, its history and its stakes. Being at the same time fascinating and accessible, it will be shown such as it is: a living entity, in perpetual evolution which not only testifies of what it is, but also of what we are. Thirteen episodes of the television series will examine our cinema, sometimes under the angle of its founder subjects (family, identity, values), sometimes under the angle of its most popular genres (comedy, erotic cinema of the beginning of the 70s, independent films of the last decade) and also under the angle of its particularities. Our purpose is to brush a portrait so just, alive and accessible of the long but fascinating road which led Quebec’s Cinema to finally meet a public fascinated by its films, its craftsmen and their stories…

Interactive Components
The site of Cinéma Québécois aims at producing a durable extension of the television series by making it accessible to a wide public by giving them access to rich and interactive content.

This reference site on our cinema will be constantly updated at the rate of every new film production and will also be a place of exchanges for the Internet users regarding current events of their cinema, as well as an occasion to measure their knowledge by participating in challenges in the form of games and quizzes.

In the dizzying whirlwind of modern consumer society, do we really know what we are buying and why; who is selling it and who profits from the sale?

And who would be the natural choice to host such a show? Who else but Marc Labrèche!

"Les Citadins du rebut global" is a documentary that centres on an astonishing experiment: can 5 volunteers use nothing but salvaged materials to breathe life back into an abandoned building located in the very heart of Montreal? 13 weeks, $15,000, only 1 gas tank for the whole adventure, 1 container for their construction waste…that's all they have to win their bet. As we follow the participants on their treasure hunt, the series underlines all that can be accomplished by being creative and by getting around our traditional consumption circuits, while presenting a mosaic of the most environmentally innovating cities in North America and Europe.

In yet another, we can unearth treasures discarded by a neighbour. A forum for people who care about recycling, salvaging, and sustainable development, the site is simply a mine of useful resources.

For over 12,000 years, the Innus have lived as the nomadic guardians of Nitassinan, a huge territory in Northeastern Canada. Doing so, they’ve acquired a very rich knowledge which they call Innu Aitun. Considering that this unique richness essentially relies on oral tradition, there is some emergency to preserve, i.e. to digitalize, as much of it as possible before it is too late. This way, Innu Aitun will be passed down for the tradition to live on, as well as accessible to non aboriginal for a better understanding of such a different culture.

Interactive Components
In order to present and propagate the Innu knowledge and culture, it has been thought off in three audiovisual segments, each one being complementary to the others: a yearly TV series (13 episodes of 30 minutes each on traditional tools), a multimedia Website (including a unique ethno-history section) and an annual specialized DVD (not funded by Le Fonds Vidéotron). Of course, both the TV series and the Website will be ported to the Interactive TV (illico) format.
