Summary:

"Screening Qué bec" explores the connections between Qué bé cois moving images, national identity and the role played by film, television and video practices in the construction and perpetuation of alternative public spheres in Qué bé cois culture. Beginning with the groundbreaking work of Qué bé cois silent film pioneer Lé o-Ernest Ouimet, MacKenzie goes on to explore the influential Pathé 's presence in Qué bec. He then looks at such elements as the first French language features in Canada, ciné ma direct, the video activism of Challenge for Change/Socié té nouvelle and the "post-referendum" cinema of Denys Arcand and Robert Lepage.
