🤝 A Collective Project

With Contrechamp, we aim to create a true gathering around Quebec auteur cinema in Saguenay — a unique space for discovery, exchange, and celebration of local creativity.

This film screening project in the regions is made possible thanks to the financial support and collaboration of the Saguenay Film Office (Promotion Saguenay), the City of Saguenay, and the Ministry of Culture and Communications, under the framework of the Cultural Development Agreement.
