“I was delighted to have the opportunity to visit La Biennale de Montréal in 2014 - I had not visited the city or the Biennale before, and it was an extremely rewarding and stimulating visit. The Biennale itself was a strong presentation of international and Québécois artists, some familiar, some new to me. I also enjoyed the opportunity to encounter Ighby and Lemmens, a collaborative Québécois practice whose work I had not encountered before. Beyond the Biennale itself, Montreal has a vibrant contemporary art scene, and we were delighted to collaborate with Battat Contemporary to bring Julie Favreau’s new work to the festival in 2015.”

“Visiting Les Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois was an ideal way of getting to know the Québécois film scene first hand, and to screen both finished films and works-in-progress. From the perspective of CPH PIX, the festival showcase was great for spotting new talent, both films and other audiovisual art forms that Montreal has to offer.”

Bonjour,

Welcome to the autumn edition of Québec Culture.

With all the excitement of the Edinburgh festivals behind us, we now turn our attention to an array of festivals taking place in Québec over the coming months, which we hope many of you will be able to attend.

CINARS (14 – 19 November) in Montreal is globally recognised as one of the most important international, multidisciplinary showcase and networking events, welcoming 1500 participants from over 40 countries and presenting more than 170 shows from Québec, Canada, and

abroad. It offers an invaluable opportunity to spot the best of Québec talent across the performing arts over the course of one week.

Other dates to look out for in Montreal this autumn include:

Festival du Nouveau Cinéma (Film) : 5 – 16 October 2016

Rencontres Internationales du Documentaire de Montréal (Documentaries) : 10 – 20 November 2016

La Biennale de Montréal (Visual arts) : 19 October 2016 – 15 January 2017

Les Coups de Théâtre (Young audiences) : 13 – 20 November 2016

Mundial Montreal (World music) : 15 – 18 November 2016

M for Montreal (Indie Rock showcase) : 16 – 19 November 2016

Salon du Livre de Montréal (Literature) : 16 – 21 November 2016

Fringe World Congress : 16 – 18 November 2016

It is worth also noting that the 100th ISPA (International Society for the Performing Arts) Congress will take place in Montreal from 23 – 27 May 2017, a key event in the arts diary. ISPA is a global network of more than 450 leaders in the performing arts with representation from more than 185 cities and all regions of the globe. (ispa.org)

If you would like to find out more about these, or any other, Québec festivals, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our cultural team. We look forward to welcoming you to performances by Québec artists taking place near you and in Québec this autumn.

Bonne lecture!

Thérèse and Pierrette at Holy Angels

Michel Tremblay

27 SeptemberTraverse TheatreEdinburgh, UK

Stellar Quines Theatre Company presents a new work-in-progress: Molly Innes’ translation into Scots of Serge Denoncourt’s adaptation of Thérèse and Pierrette at Holy Angels, a story by renowned Québec writer Michel Tremblay. The performance will take place in the 27th Rehearsal Room, a space where new scripts and writers are presented to a live audience for the first time.

Thérèse and Pierrette at Holy Angels is a play about friendship and truth, set in a Québec convent school in the 1940s. The three girls, Thérèse, Pierrette and Simone remind us of the utter hilarity and intense jealousies of being eleven and the creeping understanding of sex.

Montreal composer, digital artist and performer Myriam Bleau will present her much acclaimed new media performance Soft Revolvers at three important new media/music festivals in Norway and Sweden this autumn. The performance, utilising four spinning tops all built by the artist, is a hypnotic and original piece that challenges what we consider to be modern live A/V.

Arrival

Denis Villeneuve

10 & 11 October 13 OctoberOdeon Leicester Square Hackney PicturehouseLondon, UK London, UK

Following the success of his blockbusters Enemy, Prisoners and Sicario, award-winning Québec director Denis Villeneuve returns with another captivating thriller, Arrival.

When multiple mysterious spacecrafts touch down across the globe, an elite team is put together to investigate, including language expert Louise Banks (Amy Adams), mathematician Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), and US Army Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker). Humankind teeters on the verge of global war as everyone scrambles for answers—and to find them, Banks, Donnelly, and Weber will take a chance that could threaten their lives, and, quite possibly, humanity.

It’s Only the End of the World (Juste la Fin du Monde)

Xavier Dolan 14 & 15 OctoberOdeon Leicester SquareLondon, UK

Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

Director of award-winning films Tom à la Ferme, J’ai tué ma mére, Mommy, Les Amours Imaginaires, and Laurence Anyways, Xavier Dolan has blazed a trail for Québec cinema over recent years, earning himself a cult following while still only 27 years old.

After 12 years of absence, a writer goes back to his hometown, planning on annoucing his upcoming death to his family. As resentment soon rewrites the course of the afternoon, fits and feuds unfold, fuelled by loneliness and doubt, while all attempts of empathy are sabotaged by people’s incapacity to listen and love.
