Heretics: Iconoclastic Quebec Cinemas

In total opposition with the recent hypocritical interest towards Quebec cinema, Cinema Abattoir burst from a complete hatred and contempt for this governmental and academic cinema. The National Film Board, a production and broadcasting structure absolutely moribund, now gives praise to youthful debility. Young filmmakers birthed from institutions not only formatted and televised, but sodomized and defecated. A new generation emulating Denys Arcand. The new commercialized Quebec cinema upholds the mediocre Quebecer. It is morally weak, projecting a cinema of prostration, of amnesia, of defeat.

There is Pop Corn cinema and Cinema Abattoir: your friends are not ours! A diagonal architecture scarifies itself through those cinematographic mazes. A tormented path, butting nearly forty years of stupidity to hunt down a few transgressives remains that are still vivacious (dating from « Cinéma direct ») or politically (Front de Libération du Québec). Cinema Abattoir then suggests Heretics: Iconoclastic Quebec Cinemas, a symmetric negation of that national cinematography currently in circulation. Only one common context, the underground. Only one solution, the subversion. You crave chromatic pixels storm, thermocalypses, kinetic atomisation, retinal aneurisms, cortical electroshocks, acoustic concatenations, solarised iris injections, narrative deconstructions, playful pedopathologies and coital scorns?

Welcome to Cinema Abattoir!
