The exhibition Jacques Dufresne – Les nouveaux cinémas highlights the Festival du nouveau cinéma through photographs taken by Jacques Dufresne from 1980 to 2000. A photographer assigned to the festival for several years, Jacques Dufresne captured the essence of the event through his portraits of both local and international filmmakers. This selection of photographs will allow you to discover the spirit of this essential Montreal festival, founded in 1971 and, to everyone’s pleasure, still going strong today.
