Event Details:

In this Zoom webinar, Dr. Michael Gott (University of Cincinnati) will discuss his 2024 collection Quebec Cinema in the 21st Century: Transcending the National, which explores how the flourishing of Quebec cinema in the 21st century has opened the door to a move in remarkable and diverse new directions. As director and filmmaking professor Denis Chouinard affirms in an interview in the book, many filmmakers in the province have embraced a broad approach to the definition of Quebecois identity since the 1995 referendum. This talk will focus on contemporary Quebec cinema through a transnational optic looking at the diversity of origins, perspectives, and trajectories that inform Quebec's cinematic production today. Dr. Gott will propose some lingering questions about the parameters of the Quebec label itself and discuss some fruitful ways to explore the question in classes.
