To celebrate Vidéographe’s 50th anniversary, the Canadian Cultural Centre invites you to two evenings of online screenings of Les Vidéographes, developed by filmmaker Luc Bourdon and the Vidéographe team.

Les Vidéographes covers 50 years of video creation, in twelve program. and 50 works from the Vidéographe collection. This proposition reflects the evolution of genres, practices, styles, subjects, words and concerns of videographers, video artists and those who have ventured into the making of a videographic work.

The Vidéographes – Beyond Real
This program, an homage to the videomakers’ imagination, commences with Robert Forget’s Entrée en scene (1972), which he concludes by affirming that the Vidéographe project was intended to ‘render media accessible to people’. Over the coming decades, this new tool would enable worlds to be created by videomakers who want to push the boundaries of reality, whether by magnifying, manipulating or imagining it.
