Julie Delporte
Posters designed by Julie Delporte are now available for purchase at Casa d’Italia, during screening hours!
The universe of Montreal comic book artist Julie Delporte, with its flowing lines and bold colours, filled with reflections in neat cursive, is nourished by the intimate experiences of its creator, the people she has known, the books she has read… and the films that have marked her. Delporte constantly invites cinema into her books. This spring, we are inviting this much-loved author to the cinema. From the beginning of April, we will present a programme of four films selected by the artist, all directed by women, and for which Delporte has designed original posters. The first screening of each film will be followed by a discussion between the artist and a special guest – all women again, in keeping with the feminism that drives her.
We thank the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec for its financial support.
