Excerpt

Quebec is honoured to be a member of UNESCO's City of Literature programme: words are the foundation of identity and cement our collective culture. Beyond the poetry of images, how does poetry manifest itself through the 7th art? Can it truly be adapted? What happens when a filmmaker steps in and makes a poem ‘his’?

In the presence of filmmakers Yan Giroux (À tous ceux qui ne me lisent pas), Simon Beaulieu (Miron : un homme revenue d’en dehors du monde, Godin) and the actress and poet Charlotte Aubin, poet and director of the Moncton Frye Festival, Émilie Turmel will lead these discussions to try and get to the heart of the matter.
