For over fifteen years Montréal based filmmaker Claudie Lévesque has been involved in the independent film and media arts landscape both of Québec and nationally. Over the years, she has produced a remarkable catalogue of films, mainly based on fragments of her private life. Claudies films are thoughtfully composed and stylistically unique. Archival home movie footage and contemporary Super 8 and 16mm images are at the heart of her work that reflects the intricacies of personal relationships, family rituals and secrets, and childhood reminiscences. It is gratifying for IFCO to program her work and a pleasure to give the Ottawa community a chance to view such a distinctive program, in the presence of the filmmaker.
