The Arts du Mythe series focuses on ‘primitive’ artworks, their uses and the beliefs surrounding them. Marianne Lévy-Leblond, commissioning editor with ARTE France’s documentary unit, and filmmaker Jean-Loïc Portron will comment on the episodes “Statue Fon du Dieu Gou” and “Piquet de Jarre Mnong Gar.”

At the world premiere of Et la musique, produced by the NFB, the children featured in Michel Lam’s  documentary will share their filming experience with the audience. There will also be a short musical piece performed by the students of Sacré-Cœur primary school in Sherbrooke.

The television series Heure de pointes follows four dancers and a choreographer for a year, capturing them in rehearsal and on stage. Director Sylvain Laforest and dancers Ingrid Proulx and Louise Lecavalier will be on hand with Geneviève Guérard, former principal dancer with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, to talk about the experience and take questions from the audience.
