Pour la Suite du Monde

Alliance Française du Maine is delighted to partner with our friends at Kinonik to screen this intimate view of life on a remote island in the St Lawrence River. The feature-length documentary is the unrehearsed story of what happened when old-timers from Île-aux-Coudres, a small island in the St. Lawrence River, were persuaded to revive a local whale-catching practice. Through the magic of words and the mystery of the catch, the film uncovers a spirituality rooted in the moon and the rhythm of the tides. More than a documentary, it is a fresco of the myths and legends among the traditional fishing communities of Quebec. This film was made by Pierre Perrault, Michel Brault and Marcel Carrière.
