Ciné-club spécial : Le goût d'un pays en collaboration avec le SERY et l'Association des cinémas parallèles du Québec

Le goût du Pays is the meeting of Gilles Vigneault and Fred Pellerin during sugaring season. It is a choral documentary that tells the story of the land through one of Quebec's most emblematic rituals. It is an ode to maple syrup and the people who produce it. In the bright and inspiring light of spring, a drop of sap beads at the tip of the spile. The two poets catch it and weave a metaphor. The tradition of maple sugaring takes on the form of vivid tableaux. The richness of local words and the power of simple gestures reveal the beauty and fragility of our culture.

Our Partners:
The Association des cinémas parallèles du Québec (ACPQ), with the support of SODEC, offers a project aimed at introducing Quebec cinema to individuals in the process of learning French and literacy programs. Since cinema is a widely appreciated art form that fosters discussion, it serves as an excellent learning tool while also promoting social integration. The films selected for this project cover a wide range of subjects, genres, and approaches, reflecting contemporary Quebec society.

SERY is a non-profit organization founded in 1992. It is mandated by the Ministry of Immigration, Francisation, and Integration (MIFI) of Quebec to support immigrants settling in the Haute-Yamaska and Brome-Missisquoi regions.
