| book description |

This collection of ten chapters and three original interviews with QuÃ©bÃ©cois filmmakers focuses on the past two decades of Quebec cinema and takes an in-depth look at a (primarily) Montreal-based filmmaking industry whose increasingly diverse productions continue to resist the hegemony of Hollywood and to exist as a visible and successful hub of French-language â€“ and ever more multilingual â€“ cinema in North America. This volume picks up where Bill Marshallâ€™s 2001 Quebec National Cinema ends to investigate the inherently global nature of Quebecâ€™s film industry and cinematic output since the beginning of the new millennium. Through their analyses of contemporary films (Une colonie, Avant les rues, Bon cop, bad cop, Les AffamÃ©s, Tom Ã la ferme, Uvanga, among others), directors (including Xavier Dolan, Denis CÃ´tÃ©, Sophie Desrape, ChloÃ© Robichaud, Jean-Marc VallÃ©e, and Monia Chokri) and genres (such as the buddy comedy and the zombie film), our authors examine the growing tension between Quebec cinema as a â€œnational cinemaâ€ and as an art form that reflects the transnationalism of todayâ€™s world, a new form of fluidity of individual experiences, and an increasing on-screen presence of Indigenous subjects, both within and outside the borders of the province. The book concludes with specially conducted interviews with filmmakers Denis Chouinard, Bachir Bensadekk, and Marie-HÃ©lÃ¨ne Cousineau, who provide their views and insights on contemporary Quebec filmmaking.
