On an extra-special edition of Champions of the Local Scene, we will chat with Cannes award winning filmmaker Jonathan Lemieux at 6:45pm! Lemieux is screening his short film Moratoire in the Image+Nation Festival edition of Queerment Quebec, happening tomorrow (Thursday) December 3 at 7pm at Never Apart (7409 St Urbain). The evening will feature a series of shorts by some of Quebec's best LGBTQ filmmakers/ artists, including Anne Golden, Shayo Detchema, Jackie Gallant, André Pelletier, Jenny Cartwright, and Marc-Antoine Lemire + party times after!
Moratoire is the second installment in a trilogy of shorts about Jonathan Lemieux's father. The first installment won BEST SHORT FILM at the Rencontres In&out de Nice et Cannes Film Festival. Lemieux on his work: "I manipulate my past. I analyze my present. I prepare for my future. I have long followed these steps in my art. I naively thought I understood everything."
