Quebec has forged special ties with the varsity’s French department. The films included have a wide thematic diversity.

“Through their works, the directors provide a lucid and very personal perspective on the evolution of Quebec society over time, with a healthy splash of humour, irony and even satire,” said Vidya Vencatesan, who heads the university’s French department.

“Hopefully this event shall help my students discover the pleasure of sharing a cutting chai with another film buff, sitting on the steps of the Chavan Centre, as they debate hotly over the cinematic representation of a certain cultural construct,” added Vencatesan.
