A series of hauntings and open invitations. The five films in the program guide us through the enmeshment of ghostly figures and absent histories that defy fact and fiction, into lingering presences and whispers that manifest themselves on the skin of bodies, places, and the screen.

Bye Bye Now

Directed by Louise Bourque
Canada · 2022 · 8'00

Waving hello to the cameraperson, the subjects through this gesture are also providing a future viewer with the acknowledgment of a constant good-bye to a fleeting moment. This film is an homage to the artist’s father, the man behind the camera in these personal family archives.

Louise Bourque is an Acadian French Canadian filmmaker now living in Montreal after 25 years of absence, twenty of which were spent in the United-States, and five in her native Edmundston, New-Brunswick, where she made films and taught cinema. Over the years, her films have been screened in some fifty countries across five continents. Her work has been presented in museums and galleries worldwide, including at the Museum of Civilization and the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec in Quebec, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Bourque has received numerous honors for her work and has had several retrospective screenings, including one at La Cinémathèque québécoise in 2021. The book Imprints: The films of Louise Bourque, edited by Stephen Broomer and Clint Enns, was officially launched on the occasion.
