Le reel du pendu

Feature-length documentary filmed in three locations as far apart as possible: Louisiana, Acadia and Quebec, but where Le reel du pendu is played – a musical piece performed on the violin, harmonica and guitar or the accordion for over two hundred years. Through this improvised music of a death row inmate, the spectator is invited to discover for himself “the sound of the French in America”.

Les philharmonistes

In the town of Saint-Hyacinthe in Quebec, far from the halls of concert, the men share their lives between their profession of harmonist in the factory of Casavant organs and their participation in the activities of the company local philharmonic.

The Wedding Isn't Finished Yet

Equal parts dramatic film, investigative report, and sociological experiment, this feature-length picture is above all a community undertaking. Made in collaboration with a group of residents of Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada, the film speaks not just to the community it concerns, but equally to those people who wish to recognize the ever-increasing importance of their social reality.

Do It Yourself

A career guidance film about scientific research that shows the scientist as a methodical explorer of the unknown.
