In addition to “Louis Cyr : the strongest man in the world”, which has already been presented to a group of francization at the end of the month of September, five québec feature films will be screened over the next few weeks to the Great Library to discover the history of the province. It is “The passion of Augustine” shot by Léa Pool, “My uncle Antoine” by Claude Jutra, “What it takes to live” directed by Benoît Pilon, “Maurice Richard” (proposed by Charles Binamé and “Orders” signed by Michel Brault.

“Here is the proof that our cinema can play an important role in promoting a better social cohesion, raising awareness of our new countrymen to the history and culture, while enabling them to acquire referrals that will help them to better understand the evolution of Quebec to the company’s modern, open and plural that it has become today,” said Ségolène Roederer, director general of Quebec Cinema, in a press release.

In order to allow a greater accessibility to films from quebec, Quebec Cinema and BANQ wish to expand their initiative to other public.
