Ultra Contemporary Quebec Cinema - FREN2850/MODL2850/CINE2850
Did you know that the director of Dune, Denis Villeneuve, is from Quebec? This course will explore Quebec's booming film industry, the quality of their motion pictures and the topics they deal with. Born of a desire to highlight national identity, Quebec's film industry is dealing with questions of transnationalism, territorial boundaries and changing cultural-historical parameters. Do recent films still deal with the province's past, sovereignty and questions of French-language or are they exploring wider issues of indigeneity, multiculturalism, globalism, women's rights, and more general cinematic topics (zombies for example) featured in other films?
