It’s so fun to see the late Jean-Marc Vallée again. To open this brand new 2011 festival dedicated to the seventh art with great enthusiasm, the organizers of FCVQ were lucky enough to welcome the Café de Flore team on the opening evening. The filmmaker was surrounded in particular by the actors Hélène Florent, Rosalie Fortier, Evelyne Brochu and Kevin Parent.

They were right to smile, the architects of the cinematic adaptation of the graphic novel “Paul à Québec”. The weather was nice and a shiny vintage car awaited them at the foot of the Palais Montcalm, where films were shown at the time. We recognize the cartoonist Michel Rabagliati, the actors François Létourneau and Julie Le Breton, the director François Bouvier, the actresses Louise Portal and Karine Vanasse. In front is the young Shanti Corbeil-Gauvreau.
