Vidéographe invites cinephiles and the cine-curious to an evening of screening and discussion around a program drawn from works in the collection. Filming Your Family brings together Comment vs dirais-je? by Louis Dionne, Ma soeur by Rosalie Pelletier, and Le beau Jacques by Stéphane Thibault in one program.
The three works tackle different themes, and yet in each one the camera plays a similar role. At once, the camera is a witness, a mirror, and a magnifying glass. It is the tool that allows filmmakers to explore complex family relationships, to start a conversation, to create meaning, and to weave these intimate experiences into a collective narrative. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and often concerning, each one is unscripted and takes place over the course of one day, one week or a Formula 1 race.
And you, the audience, are invited to become this camera - "the one that judges or the one that loves." (Comment vs dirais-je?, 1995).
The program was curated by Sarah Foulkes and Joseph Rozenkopf, team members of Vidéographe. The event will take place in the presence of the three filmmakers Louis Dionne, Rosalie Pelletier and Stéphane Thibault. The screening will be followed by a conversation between the artists and the audience.
