Louis Bélanger
Louis Bélanger is one of the few Quebec filmmakers who can lay claim to both auteur cinema and popular cinema. Firmly grounded in the human experience—inventive yet accessible, personal yet universal—his work creates rich, instantly familiar landscapes that delight cinephiles both at home and abroad.
Rémy Girard
Rémy Girard is a Quebec actor born on August 10, 1950, in Jonquière. Internationally, he is best known for his roles in *Le Déclin de l'empire américain*, *Incendies*, and *Les Invasions barbares*. In Quebec, he is also known for the many roles he has played in various films and television series, such as *Les Bougon, c'est aussi ça la vie!*
Stéphane Cocke
After undertaking various roles involving festivals, museum exhibitions, collaborations, and major international projects—and hosting a radio show on CIBL for ten years—I explored other avenues for more intimate communication. This eventually led me to create TELEPOÈME, a "cut-up" style montage of texts and short audio clips designed to be heard via a payphone handset. Since 2019, TELEPOÈME has been presented at the Wishbone Gallery, as part of the *Seeing Loud: Basquiat and Music* exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (2022–2023), the *Divina Dalí* exhibition in Toronto (2023), and the Guido Molinari Foundation for Fiona Annis’s exhibition *Correspondances* (2024).
