Call me human by Kim O’Bomsawin
“Sauvage,” says Joséphine Bacon, “means to be wholly free.” When elders leave us, a link to the past vanishes along with them. Innu writer Joséphine Bacon exemplifies a generation that is bearing witness to a time that will soon have passed away. With charm and diplomacy, she leads a charge against the loss of a language, a culture, and its traditions. On the trail of Papakassik, the master of the caribou, Je m’appelle humain proposes a foray into a people’s multimillennial history, in company with a woman of great spirit who has devoted her life to passing on her knowledge and that of her ancestors. In her language, Innu means “human.”

LIVING WITH IMPERFECTION by Antoine Polin
COLLECTION OF THE WEEK
A LIFE WITHOUT MUSIC?
A life without music? What a nightmare! We wake up, the bad dream is over. Phew!
In this collection, we celebrate the 4th art: the one that puts you in a state of trance, like Ran Blake in the formidable Living with imperfection, the one for whom you dedicate your life (Beethoven intime), the one that makes the great figures of cinema shine (Julie Andrews, The melody of a life), the one that transforms anyone who listens to it into a potential Dalai Lama (Concert-méditation), … Music is vital, essential, indispensable. And if you still need proof, discover Les Violons du Roy & Charles Richard-Hamelin: La joie retrouvée, a program featuring Mozart and Mendelssohn, after the silence of the 2020 confinement. More than ever, we invite you to listen as well as watch!
