While waiting for the announcement of the complete programming on October 20th, discover the opening and closing films of the 24th edition of the festival!
OPENING FILM – FUTURA
| “Futura’s filmmakers travel around their country, holding a microphone up to Italian youth, and depicting teenagers for whom hopes and uncertainties exist side by side. Futura encourages us to think about what’s next, and even to reinvent a world that seems to have no future, but that the young generation is not ready to abandon.” |
| Futura will have its Quebec premiere on Wednesday, November 10 at 7 pm at the Cineplex Odeon Quartier Latin (by invitation only). The film will then be available online from November 14 to 17 on the festival platform. |
CLOSING FILM – GABOR
| “In this first full-length film, filmmaker and photographer Joannie Lafrenière paints a portrait of Gabor Szilasi, a great photographer of Hungarian origin who has been based in Montreal since the late 1950s. The director revisits the fascinating career and history of this nonagenarian with a creative background of profound artistic richness, and captures, through six decades, the poetry of everyday life.” |
| Gabor will be screened at the closing of the festival in the presence of Gabor Szilasi, Joannie Lafrenière and her team on Saturday, November 20 at 7 pm at the Cinéma du Musée. The film will then be available online from November 22 to 25. |
