Since 2014, the Festival de la Poésie de Montréal has celebrated videopoetry, a hybrid genre that straddles art-video, film, and literature. This unique form blends elements from these creative fields to create encounters between image, sound, and text, as well as between poets and filmmakers, all presented as short films.

 

Launched in 2016, the RVVP competition in partnership with Vidéographe is open to Quebec and Canadian poets and video artists from all horizons through a call for video-poems in French or with French subtitles. 

 

The Rendez-vous Vidéopoésie will take place on Tuesday, May 28, at Cinéma Moderne, as part of the Festival de la Poésie de Montréal, running from May 26 to June 2, 2024. The event will feature an award ceremony with directors and poets in attendance.

Monograph : Work – Nathalie Bujold

PUBLICATION

2024



Publication of OUVRAGE/ WORK 

This monograph, the result of a long period of study delving into Nathalie Bujold’s body of work over more than thirty years, brings together her most emblematic works. The authors whose essays appear here have closely followed her explorations or consider her artistic approach in a spirit of discovery and adventure. Their gaze, both probing and playful, is reflected in their relevant, enthusiastic writings about Bujold’s multidisciplinary and multimedia practice, now focused particularly on video production. The questions they raise cut across disciplines, prompting us to re-examine certain specific aspects of the foundations of her oeuvre. In turn, Dominique Sirois-Rouleau, Nathalie Bachand, Sylvain Campeau, and Édouard Monnet write about works with content related to the concepts of the object, the motif, the image, time, and movement intrinsic to the making of Bujold’s “books.” Taking us through time and including the artist’s incorporation of new technological tools, this nonlinear, often light-hearted overview encourages us to browse and constantly piques our curiosity about the forms of a vision constantly renewed by movement and the fragmentation of the object. (excerpt of the preface of Sonia Pelletier)
