Reforger la mémoire : images de l'identité canadienne

Présenté par

Description

Au Canada, les récits de passage à l’âge adulte se distinguent souvent par la représentation du multiculturalisme. Présentée par Panavision, cette table ronde réunira plusieurs directeur.trice.s de la photographie, qui raconteront comment ils ont mis leurs compétences techniques et leurs choix stylistiques au service d’une représentation juste de l’identité hybride canadienne. La discussion abordera les approches utilisées pour capturer des scènes peu représentées à l’écran, pour captiver le public et le plonger dans différentes réalités, et pour revisiter diverses expériences à la fois uniques et universelles, depuis une perspective originale.
