Festival cinéma du monde de Sherbrooke

This film festival in Sherbrooke features movies from Germany, France, South Korea, Denmark, Japan, Mexico and last, but certainly not least, Quebec. It’s a great opportunity to go beyond Hollywood and see what kind of movies the rest of the world is making.  

 

The line-up includes films such as Jalouse (starring Karin Viard and Anne Dorval); Le Vénérable W (a documentary about a Buddhist monk and the violence that is wreaking havoc in Myanmar); Barbara, by Mathieu Amalric; La Terre vue du cœur in which Hubert Reeves reflects on the importance of preserving the Earth’s biodiversity…

 

We could write many more pages about all the great movies featured in this Sherbrooke festival. Don’t delay! You’ve got until Sunday to submerge yourself in this profusion of foreign films….
