SPECIAL GUESTS

For the first weekend of the festival, we have two special guests. Ivan Grbovic, director of the film Drunken Birds and Sarah Fortin, director of the film Nouveau-Québec. Ivan and Sarah will be with us virtually after the viewing of their respective films.

 

For the second weekend, we have four special in-person guests for the first time since the pandemic. Antoine Frenette, in charge of the Québec-Cinema tour, and Karine Fortin, coordinator of the Quebec-Cinema tour. Antoine and Karine are very important collaborators of our film festival. Guy Thauvette, actor in Norbourg and several other films that have played at Cinémental in the present years, will be with us. Guy will be happy to meet you and share his experience as an actor in Norbourg and his long career. Julien Knafo, director of the movie Brain Freeze, will also be with us. He will share with us his experience of having created a film about zombies.
