Guy Borremans documentary – FEMME IMAGE, LA

Long banned and rarely seen, this fictional work by Guy Borremans, the first independent film made in Quebec, depicts a solitary young man’s sentimental and erotic daydreams. A true surrealist poem about love and desire, La femme image sparked a scandal despite its semi-clandestine distribution, because never before had a Quebec-made film shown full- frontal female nudity.

Presented in collaboration with the Cinémathèque québécoise, the Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques de l’Université de Montréal and the Observatoire du cinéma au Québec
