Throughout the festival, we invite you to discover, thanks to the Cinémathèque Québécoise, Louis Bélanger's cinema through a selection of his films, documentaries and short films in retrospective on our online platform. 

But it would not be enough to evoke all the richness of Bélanger's work, that's why we are pleased to offer a "home-made" documentary portrait of the filmmaker, a master class given by him to discover the full extent of his cinematographic palette, and finally the ceremony in which he will receive the distinction of Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la République française. Quite a program!

A DOCUMENTARY PORTRAIT BY CINEMANIA

Kalina Bertin went to meet Louis and his close collaborators such as director of photography Pierre Mignot, director and academic Denis Chouinard, and his own brother, musician Guy Bélanger, who signed the soundtrack of six of the filmmaker's films. The result is an original 40-minute documentary portrait to understand the filmmaker's talent.

CEREMONY OF "L'ORDRE DES ARTS ET DES LETTRES"

CINEMANIA invites you to a special moment for filmmaker Louis Bélanger ! The Quebec director receives the medal of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la République française. Due to the pandemic, the ceremony unfortunately cannot take place in the presence of spectators and the filmmaker's many friends, collaborators and family members. CINEMANIA invites you to attend this unique moment highlighting the exceptional career of the director, and more particularly his contribution to the promotion and influence of French-language cinema. The ceremony is captured live from the Imperial Cinema of Montreal, a venue dear to the artist's heart, and in the presence of the Consul General of France in Quebec City, His Excellency Mr. Frédéric Sanchez.
