- Imaginary Tales. by Marc, Jean,film director.; Spira (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Spira in 2018.A documentary feature best described as the portrait of an author about and with André Forcier. It is the story of an exceptional and undeniable filmmaker in our national cinema's landscape and a pillar at the heart of its identity. It is a chance to revisit his body of work, known for its heavy dose of magical realism, through the re-enactement of scenes from throughout his filmography. It is a stroll through his world: appering sometimes as a recollection, a footprint or a memory.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Arts.; Motion pictures.; Documentary films.; Artists.;

- Upwelling. by Latulippe, Hugo,film director.; Spira (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Spira in 2022.Twenty young actors are brought together for a creation lab by stage directors Véronique and Gabrielle Côté, to create a collective work at one of the great national theatres. Over a full year, they scour contemporary Québécois poetry to tap into the spirit of the times. Whether in workshop settings or at the four corners of the territory, we watch the creative process unfold. What kind of people will we be in the future? How can art transform the world? Will we still be able to have children? Rebellious, filled with the passion of those who dream of beauty, obeying only their intuition, they come together to forge an ode to life. And when one of theirs is elected to the Quebec’s National Assembly, poetry literally becomes an integral part of the country’s political landscape.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Literature.; Arts.; Performing arts.; Documentary films.; Artists.;
