At the movies, together
Help us realize the Ensemble au cinéma project, a series of screenings of Quebec films for a variety of audiences. Each workshop involves the participation of guest speakers to stimulate exchange and discussion.
Cultural outreach
Film workshops in schools
Since 2022, Cinéma Public has been working with Montreal schools – École primaire Sainte-Cécile in Villeray, École primaire Lajoie in Outremont and École primaire Saint-Ambroise in Petite-Patrie – to introduce students to various aspects of the moving image. The workshops offer students the opportunity to experience cinema in a unique way, and to take part in hands-on activities. These moments of discovery and learning are accompanied by discussions between students and speakers.
In 2024, we offered École Saint-Ambroise students four workshops: animated cinema with director Rachel Samson, sound effects with sound artist Marie-Josée Archambault, analog cinema with educator Emmanuel Martin Jean, and acting for the camera with actress Nathalie Cavezzali. As a complement to the animated film workshop, we collaborated with artist Camille Monette Dubeau to create a flipbook.
Through these workshops, Cinéma Public aims to instill a passion for the world of cinema in young people, in the hope of nurturing a new generation of cinephiles and artists.
Programming workshops with senior citizens
In collaboration with the Centre des aînés de Villeray, the Cinéma Public is working on the “Programmez votre cinéma” project. As part of this project, a group of seniors will be invited to create their own programming for the Cinéma Public. They will be assisted by professionals in the field during a series of workshops. The group will present the selected films in the presence of invited guests in the fall of 2024.
If you’d like to get involved in our projects, or if you have any ideas of your own, please contact Antony Boudreau Savoie, Cultural Mediation Project Manager.
The “Parcours éducatif” and “Programmez votre cinéma” projects are made possible thanks to the financial support of the gouvernement du Québec.
