Film Noir au Canal 2019
It’s in a festive atmosphere and surrounded by an exceptional buzz that this 5th edition of the festival took place. The 2019 season was particularly popular, attracting a record audience of 2,000 people over five screenings. Against a crime film backdrop and in a jazzy atmosphere, cinephiles discovered or rediscovered this summer: Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock), Casque d’or (Jacques Becker), The Killers (Robert Siodmak), Quai des orf vres (Henri-Georges Clouzot), and for the first time at the festival, a neo noir from Quebec, Roche Papier Ciseaux, with director Yan Lanouette Turgeon in attendance.
Film Noir au Canal is presented thanks to financial support from W. Maxwell Agendas, the Sud-Ouest borough, the Conseil des arts de Montr al, and the Caisse Desjardins du Sud-Ouest de Montr al.
The 5th edition of Film Noir au Canal – until August 18, 2019
