Quebec, on the cusp of the 1960s. The province is on the brink of momentous change. Deftly selecting clips from nearly 200 films from the National Film Board of Canada archives, director Luc Bourdon reinterprets the historical record, offering us a new and distinctive perspective on the Quiet Revolution.
Himself
Trying to describe oneself is a movie about representation. How it is possible, through film, to describe oneself and describe others. With the camera as mirror and third eye. At first, a collage-like combination of letter-writing, investigation and journey, something between documentary and feature film. Finally, a portrait of Boris Lehman from 1989 to 1995, part II of BABEL.
A short film made in 1987 on the occasion of Serge Lemoyne's exhibition "Station supplémentaire. Hommage aux artistes vivants". The exhibition paid homage to several figures of the contemporary art scene whom the painter named as influences : Jean-Paul Riopelle, Pierre Gauvreau, Ulysse Comtois, Armand Vaillancourt, COZIC, Yves Gaucher, François Sullivan, Guido Molinari, Claude Tousignant and "the unknown artists".
