Quebec speaks to the French!

Just last year, I wrote an article on a documentary project that seemed very interesting. At the time, it was called " What they think of us . Today, the documentary is finished and is entitled " Quebec speaks French to .

I made the pitch.
recent years, a lot of French people choose to settle in Quebec. Some of them return some time later, disappointed with their experience. The French and Quebecers would not they also close cousins as we think? The documentary

proposes to answer this question through the experience of Oliver Zimmermann (photo cons), French musician and student, came to spend a year in Montreal as part of his studies. Following Olivier, " Quebec speaks French to " shows how the French are welcomed and received by Quebecers, what Quebec thinks of France, and finally what is really the Quebec of today.

Adventure Olivier is supplemented by testimony from Quebec and French personalities from academia, economic, political, artistic and street people.

tempting, do not you think?
Before you say more, I suggest the first of 7 parts of this documentary available on YouTube:



It makes you want to see more!
But for this it will have to wait a bit and especially in the promotion. Indeed, no television station has shown interest in distributing the film, what seems incomprehensible when you see all the crap shown on programs. In short, the premise that a film must be seen, otherwise it does not exist, the producer decided to put it on Youtube so that as many benefits. As

" Quebec speaks French to " has cost a few thousand dollars to produce, to try to recover some of the money spent, there must be a maximum of the Internet and viewed s' subscribing to the Youtube Channel Lumen Box, the film's production house. The second part will be online when we get 15,000 to have seen the first. I urge you to do a max of buzz around this video.

Sterzi I exchanged with Lorenzo (photo cons), founder of Lumen Box Films and especially co-director and producer of the documentary. He believes his film may be useful for the French who wish to settle in Quebec, a good source of information to prepare the trip. For him " Quebec is not just for moose, shirts" carotées "and poutine. Besides we are not a bubble of France in America, but simply a French-speaking America. "

Lorenzo m 'spoke of Oliver, the "heroes" his film
" We had the luck of Olivier Zimmermann. We opened our arms, was always willing to do whatever was asked of him even though we frankly encroached on his schedule as a student. Olivier also a singer-songwriter deserves to be known. We wrote a song, entitled Montreal, which is the theme song for the movie. It is the end credits of the documentary. We must therefore wait a bit before you can listen . "

Regarding the personalities involved, including policies, the filmmakers have tried to have diverse views. They requested an interview with the two heads of provincial party Pauline Marois, who has accepted, and Jean Charest, Premier of Quebec, which refused, like most Liberal cabinet ministers (apart Pierre Arcand). My Quebec friends enjoy ...

And among stakeholders, there is a French actor voluble enough, the whimsical Fabrice Luchini. I offer you an interview in which he speaks of Quebec and his meeting with Lorenzo



It is normal for a website like mine, which prides itself on being the blog friendship Franco-Quebec makes the promotion of a film like this. The authors are invested to produce this documentary whose subject touches me, of course, and especially seems very interesting and well treated.
So please, pass the info, we can see more ....

Thanks friends!
