Élevé dans la brume

Élevé dans la brume is an immersive sound journey that bears witness to the crab and lobster fishing season in the small village of Tête-à-la-Baleine on the Lower North Shore. Every year, the melting of the ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence heralds the arrival of a new fishing season. The dices are cast. Experience the highs and lows of the season alongside the fishermen of this village accessible only by boat and plane.

Followed by a screening of Tête-à-baleine (Renée Bonnière and Pierre Perrault, 1960, 30′)

Shows Tête-à-la-Baleine, Québec, a village with a double life–one on the North Shore mainland during winter months, the other on mossy islands of the Gulf to which the entire population moves for summer fishing. (NFB)
