About this Event
In partnership with the Festival du cinéma de la ville de Québec, the Morrin Centre presents Moving Pictures, a series of five events showcasing independent films by Anglophone Quebec filmmakers. From short films for teenagers to a documentary about Montreal’s underground art scene, everyone can find something to appreciate and enjoy in this project.
During this event, discover Montreal’s underground art scene through the 2019 documentary Sisters: Dream & Variations (16+).
Tyr and Jasa grew up in an artistic household where art was a way of life. Quirky and insightful sisters from Montreal, Tyr is a musician and singer while Jasa is an interdisciplinary artist. Inspired by their great-grandmother’s recordings of Icelandic folk songs, they have developed artistic practices that draw on their colourful imaginations and Icelandic roots. Their exploration leads them to journey to Iceland for the first time and collaborate on a project that brings together their artistic disciplines and cultural heritage.
In her debut feature film Sisters: Dream & Variations, editor and filmmaker Catherine Legault immerses us in an oniric world made up of animation, performances and cinema vérité. More than a portrait, the film is an inspiring look at the artistic approach, its various forms and how it can simultaneously express and explore who we are.
Upon registration, viewers will be emailed a link to the film. Once the link has been clicked, the film will be available for 48 hours. Viewers will also receive a link for the artist discussion held at 7 p.m. on February 18 via Zoom, where viewers will meet the film director Catherine Legault and the documentary’s protagonists Tyr and Jasa.
This project is made possible with support from the Government of Canada.
