Vidéographe is pleased to announce it will present a number of works at the 46^th Festival du nouveau cinéma de Montréal, which will run from 4 – 15 October 2017.

WORLD PREMIERE OF A YOUNG INNU DIRECTOR’S DEBUT FILM  

Vidéographe is proud to present the world premiere of Kevin Bacon Hervieux’s feature-length documentary Innu Nikamu: Sing and Resist. Through the music that has accompanied the Innus throughout their history, Hervieux retraces the wonderful journey of the Festival de musique et des arts autochtones Innu Nikamu in Maliotenam. The film combines testimonies and performances by founders, musicians, artisans, and collaborators who have ignited hope in a wounded nation that now dares to believe that the re-appropriation of its language and culture may be possible after all. With the participation of: Florent Vollant, Koriass, Simple Plan and Willy Mitchell.
