Edited from almost 100 km of film footage shot during the Games, this feature documentary is a breathtaking portrait of the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

Heritage Minutes: Paul-Émile Borduas
This feature-length documentary takes us back to the Montreal-Quebec trip undertaken in 1958 by the students of Francine Laurendeau, Jean-Pierre Goyer and Bruno Meloche with the aim of meeting the Prime Minister of Quebec, the Honorable Maurice Duplessis. They had been asked by their student assembly to hand-deliver a memorandum on joining the university. But the Prime Minister refuses to receive them. For three months, every morning, politely, they will reiterate their request... Thirty years later, we are taking the Montreal-Quebec train with them.
