WISHES YOU A <\/span><\/strong><\/span>HAPPY 2017!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hello Documentary-lovers!<\/strong> Diffusion Multi-Monde has set the table for a few great surprises in 2017, but as we begin this year, here are\u00a0some highlights of the events around the wonderful films we chose to promote in 2016.<\/p>\n

We also want to thank you for being there to sustain the documentary genre in theatres, on television, DVD\u2019s and the other platforms. Without you, there would be no documentaries and what a sad world it would be!<\/p>\n

CALLSHOP ISTANBUL<\/span><\/p>\n

Awards and Festivals<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Impossible to speak of 2016 without evoking the hectic journey of the film Callshop Istanbul<\/a> on the festival circuit! Since its first screening at the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montr\u00e9al (RIDM) in November 2015 and its theatrical release in the spring of 2016, filmmakers Hind Benchekroun and Sami Mermer have been traveling the world, earning several prestigious awards. The tour of festivals and theatres in Canada continues in 2017 and the DVD will be released soon. See the web site for the full list of festivals and awards. Congratulations to the two filmmakers on this beautiful journey!<\/p>\n

MULTI-MONDE<\/span><\/p>\n

sports the colours of France!<\/span><\/p>\n

Among our most anticipated releases of 2017<\/strong> is The Sociologist and the Bear Cub<\/a>, by Etienne Chaillou and Mathias Th\u00e9ry, another film from France* to join the Multi-Monde collection! We are proud to bring to Canadian screens this creative film with a strong cause: gender identity, and equal rights for same-sex couples. The film revisits the controversy surrounding the Bill on marriage for all, which ignited huge protests in France from September 2012 to May 2013. During the nine months of legislative gestation, the sociologist Ir\u00e8ne Th\u00e9ry tells her son about the issues in the debate. From these stories is born a cinema of teddy bears, toys, bits of cardboard. A cross between an intimate portrait and a national soap opera, this film brings us to rediscover something we thought we knew all about: the family.<\/p>\n

\"mariage-homo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After rave reviews in France and tens of thousands of spectators – it was chosen one of the must-see movies of the year by several major media – the film quietly made its entrance in Qu\u00e9bec and New Brunswick, but did not leave audiences indifferent! See the enthusiastic review in The Huffington Post here<\/a>, and the article in English published by afterellen.com<\/a><\/p>\n

And for the most curious of you, take a look at the delightful and hilarious trailer<\/a> below.<\/p>\n

MULTI-MONDE<\/span><\/p>\n

hits the books!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the successful theatrical release<\/strong> of “Au Pays de la Muraille enneig\u00e9e” (“Chile, Personal Geography<\/a>“)\u00a0in Montreal and Quebec starting last September, the prestigious Chilean and Quebecois filmmaker Marilu Mallet scurried off to Santiago for the vernissage of a new book about her work and career.<\/p>\n

Composed of archives and interviews, the book recounts the odyssey of three Chilean filmmakers, including Marilu Mallet, torn from their roots by exile; it provides an in-depth theoretical and historical analysis of their work.<\/p>\n

Multi-Monde congratulates the filmmaker for this beautiful accomplishment in the international recognition of her career!<\/p>\n

To find out more about Marilu Mallet’s work, note that many of her films are available for viewing at the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise; her latest documentary, “Au Pays de la Muraille enneig\u00e9e” (“Chile, Personal Geography<\/a>“), will be released by Multi-Monde on DVD later this year.<\/p>\n
