Create….

A host of activities for young people and adults gives the general public and school groups a chance to experience what it’s like to be behind the camera. Filmmaking and group workshops offer introductions to movie techniques such as sound effects, postsynchronization, video, drawing on film, clay animation, and camerawork. Every film created is shown on a large screen, providing an unforgettable, often family-based, filmmaking experience. In learning about the stages involved in making a film, participants develop a more discerning view of the media and cinema.

Discuss……

Programming at the Cinema showcases hard-hitting documentaries and auteur films that are generally followed by discussions between audiences and filmmakers, talks with journalists and social workers on public issues, and lively debates on current news topics. Several monthly series such as the Cinebats at the INM (Institut du Nouveau Monde) draw a full house. What’s more, the CineRobotheque is home base for some fifteen Montreal film festivals, including the Rendez-vous du cinema qucois, the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA), the Rencontres internationales du documentaire (RIDM), the African Film Festival, the First People’s Festival, Image and Nation, and the International Haitian Film Festival.
