#Guillaume Vigneault

[sibyllv]

Il aurait été tout à fait normal que je ne croise pas Nuna. Je m’y attendais. Mais ces choses-là arrivent. Elles n’arrivent pas dans les films, parce qu’on y croirait pas, mais dans la réalité, on n’a pas beaucoup le choix d’y croire, alors elles arrivent. La réalité est comme ça, elle se permet n’importe quoi.

Chercher le vent, Guillaume Vigneault

IL PLEUVAIT DES OISEAUX en tête des nominations du Gala Québec Cinéma 2020

En direct du salon de Guillaume Lambert, les nominations du Gala Québec Cinéma (qui ne fera pas l’objet d’un rassemblement télévisuel cette année, confinement oblige) ont été dévoilées cet après-midi.

En cette année dominée par les réalisatrices, 6 des meilleurs films sont réalisés par des femmes et 3 femmes sont en lice pour l’Iris de la Meilleure réalisation.

On parle bien sûr d’Antigone de Sophie Deraspe (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), La femme de mon frère de Monia Chokri  (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation), Kuessipan de Myriam Verreault (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), Jeune Juliette d’Anne Émond (Meilleur film, Meilleur scénario), Il pleuvait des oiseaux  et Louise Archambault (Meilleur film, Meilleur scénario, et 13 nominations au total, le record cette année), et du plus inattendu Fabuleuses de Mélanie Charbonneau (Meilleur film).

Ces films réalisés par des femmes sont rejoints dans les catégories de pointe par les « films de gars » Mafia Inc de Podz (Meilleur film), Sympathie pour le diable de Guillaume de Fontenay (Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), et  Le vingtième siècle de Matthew Rankin  (Meilleur premier film, Meilleure réalisation).

Un grand oublié : Xavier Dolan, qui a lancé deux longs métrages l’an dernier. On ne s’attendait pas à un couronnement du mal-aimé The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, mais l’excellent Matthias & Maxime aurait mérité plus d’honneurs. Il est quand même en nomination dans les catégories Meilleure interprétation féminine dans un rôle de soutien (Micheline Bernard), Meilleure interprétation masculine dans un rôle de soutien (Pier-Luc Funk), Meilleure direction de la photographie (André Turpin), Meilleur montage (Xavier Dolan), Meilleure musique originale (Jean-Michel Blais) et Meilleur maquillage (Erik Gosselin, Edwina Voda).

Du côté des interprètes, je suis soulagé que mon long métrage québécois préféré depuis longtemps, Le rire de Martin Laroche, ait été au moins reconnu pour les brillantes performances de Léane Labrèche-Dor (Premier rôle féminin) et Micheline Lanctôt (Rôle de soutien féminin).

Il faut aussi souligner les deux nominations comme acteur de Robin Aubert, pour Jeune Juliette (Premier rôle masculin) et Merci pour tout (Rôle de soutien masculin).

Et une pensée pour Andrée Lachapelle, qui nous a quittés récemment, nommée comme Meilleure actrice pour Il pleuvait des oiseaux.

Parlant d’Il pleuvait des oiseaux , félicitations à Will Driving West, un de mes groupes préférés, parmi les finalistes de la catégorie Meilleure musique originale. 

Aussi, je suis très heureux pour l’extraordinaire Je finirai en prison d’Alexandre Dostie, en nomination pour l’Iris du meilleur court métrage.

Cirque Du Soleil's 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE... Delivers Multi-Sensory Holiday Magic

Over one hundred years before Superman was spotted flying over a New York City sky another airborne gentleman donned in red took the world by storm and has remained a cultural phenomenon ever since.  For it was in 1823 that Clement Clark Moore penned the poem “A Visit From Saint Nicholas” after heading home to his family via sleigh on Christmas Eve. Moore’s poem, otherwise known by its more popular title, “‘Twas The Night Before Christmas”, has since served as the basis of hundreds of various adaptations in every form of entertainment.    However, it is in the World Premiere of Cirque du Soleil's gloriously immersive ‘Twas The Night Before... which opened for a limited run at the Chicago Theatre, that the true magic of Moore’s stanzas are realized. In ‘Twas The Night Before..., Cirque once again creates a world within a world for the spectacle to unfold as we follow the story’s heroine Isabella (Michelle Clark) and her father (Alexis Vigneault) as the magical spirit of Christmas methodically fills a young soul in need of believing.   Through high spirited, hip-hopping reindeer (Jenna Beltrane, Kalila Hermant, Samuel Moore, Paul Ross, Diana Schoenfield and Bianca Vallor); precision roller-ice skating  (Rosie Axon and Adam Jukes), stunning aerial acts which include Nicole Faubert and Guillaume Paquin on straps, Tuedon Ariri’s beautiful airborne solo on silk and of course signature Cirque acrobatics (Quentin Greco, Jacob Gregoire, Chauncey Kroner, Timothé Vincent, Jinge Wange and Evan Tomlinson Weintraub), Isabella discovers that one must look beyond all the modern day “noise” we are bombarded with on a daily basis to discover that the quiet constant of a parent’s love is where the true spirit of Christmas can be found.   With the holiday season giving us the usual vanilla traditional theatrical entertainments, Cirque du Soleil's ‘Twas The Night Before... stands apart as a visual and auditory spiritual awakening that is both relevant and needed in today’s multi-media culture.  The World Premiere of 'Twas the Night Before… runs through December 8, 2019 at The Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State Street.  For more information and tickets to ‘Twas the Night Before… visit chicagotheatre.com/cirque or call Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000 or the Ticketmaster Box Office at The Chicago Theatre.

Canada - France forecast

New Post has been published on https://betting-tips.site/canada-france-forecast-2/

Canada - France forecast

May 16 will be held the next matches of the group stage of the world Cup of hockey, which Canada to meet with France. The beginning of the match in Kosice scheduled for 17:15 GMT.

Canada

Traditionally, the founders of hockey will be considered as one of the main contenders for gold medals. However, on the background of Russia and the U.S. “maple leaves” are not as ambitious, because the main opponents brought a very strong starting line-the world championship this year. Where Canadians should not be problems, so it is in the goalkeeper’s line. The coaching staff led by Alain vigneault picked up a strong team of goalkeepers, so for the last turn of the fans of the “maple leaf” not to worry. Carey Price has traditionally not wanted to come to the national team, so the first number will be Matt Murray, who moments fantastically plays for Pittsburgh. He is still only 24 years old, and he already has vast experience in the NHL. But the first number could be Carter HART of Philadelphia, who claimed the title of “breakthrough of the year in the NHL”.

Line of defense the “maple leaf” was getting quite interesting. The present composition of good defenders-scorers Darnell Nursi (Edmonton), Shea Theodore (“Vegas”) and Tom Chabot (“Ottawa”). Big names in defence is not, but deserves the attention of a pillar of protection “new Jersey” Damon, Syverson, 20-year-old Dante Fabbro, who managed from the student League during last season to break the Foundation of “Nashville”. As for the attack, the expected Crosby and McDavid did not come, however, without them the roster from the “maple leaf” is great, especially if you consider the fact that Canadians are not always serious about this tournament. The main star of this team is John Tavares, who shines with Toronto now. To Shine in Slovakia will be Sam Reinhart, Dylan Strom, Sean Couturier, and a couple of “Vegas” mark stone and Jonathan Marchesso.

France

The current world championship for the French is special – after 14 years of work on a post of the head coach is gone Dave Henderson. His replacement was Philip Higgs, who led Bordeaux have risen to the top division, making this team very competitive in the local League. But changes in the composition of France is a little – came 17 players, who performed at the last world Cup. On paper, the French look is not the best way, because no Stephan Da Costa and players from the NHL.

At the last world Cup against France defended Cristobal Huet, who for many years was irreplaceable, but now will have to do without him. The first number will be 34-year-old Florian Hardy, who plays for the “anger”. Changers also play in the French League. Protection among the interesting personalities you can mark Olivier Dame-Malka, who is a native of Canada, and even played in the AHL. This season he once again wanted to conquer North America, but the attempt was not successful. Given the fact that there will be Stephan Da Costa, the role of the scorer will have to take Guillaume LeClair, who in the championship of France is the most productive. Help him to be partners on the “Grenoble” Sasha Tray and Damien Fleury. The main asset is the young star of French hockey Alexander Texier, who recently made his debut for the “Columbus” with it successfully.

Statistics of personal meetings

Last time at the world Championships the teams have crossed paths 2 years ago. In that game, France was suddenly resisting maple leafs, losing only 2:3. If the French held on to overtime, they would have sponsored the greatest sensation, because to the exit in the playoffs then they needed only 1 point. Over the last 15 years the teams have played 7 times at the world Cup in France has one win in 2014-m to year.

Forecast

The French players in the top-level can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but most of them did not attend the world Cup. That is why in the match against “maple leaf” they have no chance whatsoever.

Forecast: P1 taking into account the handicap (-3.5)

Ratio: 1,50

The Work Isn’t Done: Montréal Group Calls for Actions to Promote Cultural Diversity and Address the Conditions that Led to the SLAV Conflict

The #slavresistance Collective would like to extend its gratitude and solidarity to every individual and group who answered our call to action. We would also like to thank the various individuals and groups who have supported us and who took a stand against the problematic show SLAV and Jazz Fest. Namely, Suoni per il popolo, Pop Montréal, Blue Skies Turns Black, the Fédération des femmes du Québec, les Femmes du monde à Côte-des-Neiges, and the many artists who supported our movement by publicly calling out the production of a show developed by white elites and which profited off Black pain and suffering. The cancellation of the show SLAV, an important step, would not have been possible without your support. As we have expressed from the beginning of our work, the problems with SLAV are legion. Slav uses historical disinformation in order to justify the appropriation of African American slave songs by a white singer, Betty Bonifassi. Contrary to the information presented in the show, Irish people during slavery were put into indentured servitude, which was a way for working class Europeans to move to the colonies. They were employed for a fixed period of time, during which their work served as a way to pay their debt towards their employer. Once their debt was paid, they could have access to land. Their state of servitude was not transferred to their offspring. The Irish faced indentured servitude, not slavery. Betty Bonifassi, while positioning herself as a lecturer in the play, transforms and deforms this part of history, equating slavery with indentured servitude. She also goes so far as stating that there would not be blues music if it were not for the encounter between the Africans and the Irish. Beyond these inaccuracies, the show is a constant reminder that Black people can’t tell their stories for themselves – and of the problems that arise when we don’t. When the show briefly addresses the issue of racial profiling, for example, it calls into question the Black perspective on the issue. In the show, when the main Black character in the show is imprisoned, her white friend accuses her of being responsible of her arrest because of her personality, while Black character assures her friend that she was arrested while simply jogging. While musically centered on African American slave and work songs, moreover, the show ultimately centers whiteness in various ways. A scene will begin with slave songs, for example, and then merge the slave song into a song written by Betty Bonifassi. Ms. Bonifassi even goes as far as singing a song called Black Betty, and while there are two Black actors in the cast, Betty Bonifassi is the one who ultimately plays Harriet Tubman, the Black woman who freed close to seventy enslaved people. Sources have informed us that while the play was developed over a period of 5 years, the idea of including Black actors in the process occurred only in the past year. Sources also say that the white actors were originally supposed to wear dark fabric on their faces that will resemble blackface. All of this contorts the history and legacies of slavery beyond recognition and leads to a massive project of cultural appropriation. Let’s remember what cultural appropriation is. Cultural appropriation happens when a dominant culture appropriates elements of a dominated culture and gains benefits from them, while the dominated culture is marginalized, penalized, ostracised for these exact same aspects of their culture. The dominance is of course based on the idea of racial hierarchy, putting white at the top. The process of taking elements of dominated culture with which one is not familiar too often creates a decontextualization which, when done by a dominant culture, can have a negative impact on the dominated culture, by reinforcing their marginalization or creating historical distortion. This is exactly what happened in this play. #slavresistance was born in response to the promotion of the show SLAV by Jazz Fest. However, our work is not over. There are still performances of SLAV scheduled throughout Quebec, including shows in Centre culturel de l'Université de Sherbrooke, Théâtre Gilles-Vigneault, St-Jérôme Maison des arts Desjardins, Drummondville Théâtre Banque Nationale. More importantly, cancelling the show was only one of the eight demands outlined in the our Collective’s open letter released to the media and public on July 3rd, 2018 and which gathered more than 1,500 signatures in 24 hours. Our remaining demands seek to address not the show itself, but the broader conditions that gave rise to this show, to the horrendous lack of diversity in the Quebec cultural scene, and to an ongoing history of publicly supported cultural productions that harm and appropriate the culture of racialized and marginalized populations. Now that SLAV has been removed from the Jazz Fest programming, it is these broader demands that require our attention. Here, then, are the demands that remain essential at this time: 1. We call on the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde and its Director, Lorraine Pintal, to issue an apology for hosting SLĀV and undergo a public and external evaluation of their programming. We demand that TNM commit to hiring Black writers, directors, and actors and present shows produced by them. TNM has, since the beginning of the protest against SLĀV, refused to make any public statement, saying only (on June 27th) that their “response was on stage.” They have yet to comment on the show’s cancellation, much less apologize for having given the show a prominent stage. The programming at TNM is overwhelmingly white. For their 2018-19 season, 100% of directors are white, 95% of starring actors are white, and 88% of all actors are white. This is unacceptable for a theatre company that is located in a city as diverse as Montréal and that claims to offer theatre “rooted in the realities of today.” It is unacceptable, moreover, for a company that receives public funding from at least five major government bodies, whose mission is to promote the culture of Québec or Canada. Our demands for a public apology, an external evaluation, and a commitment to hiring Black writers, directors, and actors are meant to rectify these problems. The lack of diversity at TNM is also rampant in most of Montreal theaters. If 56% of Montrealers are born outside of Quebec or have at least one parent born outside of Canada, when we look at the proportion of contracts given to artists in the Montreal theatrical season of 2014-2015, only 10,5% of those were given to non-white artists including indigenous artists. 2. We call on the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal to engage in a transparent consultation process with the original founders of the Festival and those involved, including but not limited to Roue-Doudou Boicel, Charles Biddle, Oliver Jones, and Sayyd Abdul Al-Khabyyr. We ask that Jazz Fest develop and implement an equity policy with specific targets for artists from Black, Indigenous, and other communities of colour (BIPOC) and establish a process for seeking out and responding to community feedback and concerns. As it now stands, the Festival’s leadership and programming team is staffed entirely by white men, demonstrating an urgent and critical need for diversity. However, as stated by one of Jazz Fest’s own artistic programmer, Laurent Saulnier, jazz is an art-form rooted in African American history, and to take jazz out of the African American community and into the hands and pockets of the white Quebecoise elite is a demonstration and perpetuation of white supremacy. And so, in addition to the creation of an equity process, we ask that you rectify this perpetuation by diversifying your team to represent multiple and varied views from the jazz community, and not only those you feel comfortable with. 3. We call on Quebec Premier, Philippe Couillard and Québec Minister of Culture and Communications, Marie Montpetit, to rectify the present racial inequalities in public funding for the arts in Quebec and the assessment processes that have led to productions like SLĀV. We demand that a financed measure be added to the recently released Quebec cultural action plan and policy and that Black professionals be added to the advisory and scientific boards in charge of the cultural policy. Also, we ask the government to actually translate that cultural policy in English. Philippe Couillard confessed on February 7th 2018 at the Maitres Chez Vous conference at HEC to his blood ties with Guillaume Couillard, owner of the enslaved African, Olivier Lejeune. He also committed to considering the adoption of the 68/237 resolution of the United Nations, which recognizes 2014-2025 as the decade of people of African descent. Alongside Mr. Couillard’s partial commitment to adopting UN resolution 68/237, Montréal mayor Valerie Plante passed a motion in support of the resolution on February 19th 2018 as did Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on January 30th 2018 in a declaration that also acknowledged the existence of anti-Black racism and systemic racism in Canada. These commitments must be reflected in the funding of artistic production for Quebec Afro-descendant people. In spite of these commitments, the recently announced $600 million Quebec cultural policy evinces a complete absence of financial support towards minorities and specially Black people, as shown at the measure 18 of the Action Plan. Policies like this perpetuate racial inequalities in public funding for the arts. This leads to shows like SLAV, which received substantial public funding, and makes less feasible cultural works and public performances by Black artists. Our demands for public funding targeted toward Black artists and the addition of Black professionals to the advisory and scientific boards of the Québec cultural policy are meant to honour UN resolution 68/237 and address prevailing inequalities in public arts funding. Amending the Quebec cultural police is just one way, however, that these inequities can and need to be addressed. Montreal is a metropolis, currently governed by Projet Montreal’s Valerie Plante with an all-white executive team. Even though the mayor mentioned, on February 3rd at the Dynasty Gala, that she wants to be an ally to Black communities, we find that the lack of diversity at all levels of her administration to be problematic. An ally takes position. While Plante has added an additional annual funding of 2,5 million dollars to Conseil des Arts de Montréal, this is money that, without a specific diversity mandate, will go to programs that fail to clearly champion diversity. CAM has not obligation to prioritize diversity and afro-descendants with its budget. For example, they do not support urban music. Plante is complicit with the conditions leading to SLAV, as she had numerous opportunities to take seriously the demands made to her so that diversity and afro-descendant people would feel respected by media corporations, the art sector, and the police force. 4. We call on the two public funders of SLĀV, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ), the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) to dedicate funding and capacity-building resources toward BIPOC artists. We demand that they institute a policy that requires consultation with BIPOC artists for evaluating the validity of a (potentially) funded project’s engagement with BIPOC communities. As documented on CALQ’s website, CALQ’s contribution to the SLAV project includes funding at the level of $1 563 500 to TNM and $485 000 to Ex Machina. In October 2017, a coalition of arts organizations criticized CALQ for racial discrimination in the attribution of funding, and raised questions about CALQ’s process of jury selection; the racial and linguistic characteristics of its juries; and the juries’ competence in evaluating artistic projects emanating from communities of colour. The CCA, for its part, provides base funding to Ex Machina. The CCA has signalled its intention to develop a policy on cultural appropriation. It appears, however, that this policy will pertain exclusively to Indigenous culture rather than also other communities of colour, and the CCA has not taken a public position on SLAV. The Conseil des Arts de Montréal, despite not having funded SLAV, has funded la Fondation du Théâtre du Nouveau Monde to the level of $150 000, in contrast to under resourced Black institutions such as Black Theater Workshop. The allocation of these resources expresses profound problems with public arts funding and communicates that public funders believe in the legitimacy of current production. In response to this enduring inequity, we ask that CALQ and CCA dedicate funding and capacity building resources towards BIPOC artists as well as establish and institute a policy requiring consultation with BIPOC artists for evaluating the validity of productions engaging with BIPOC stories, histories, and artforms. We demand that the CCA improve their diversity tool through an external consultation with diversity practitioners, and that this tool be mandated and evaluated for every any project receiving CCA funds. To this end, we ask that CCA implement a transparent diversity audit process for each and every project produced by an organization receiving core funding. 5. We call on TD Bank, the corporate sponsor of the Montreal International Jazz Festival, to respect its stated commitment to diversity when it comes to its sponsorships and engagements with sponsored events. This commitment that was not respected in the case of SLĀV and its erasure of Black voices and stories. We believe TD Bank’s own words, that “our success depends on reflecting the communities where we do business and where our employees, customers and suppliers live, work and play” and we believe that this commitment extends also to the institutions they sponsor. To extend this commitment we ask that TD Bank establish and implement a community-accountability process to acknowledge and respond to complaints against any programming that falls under its sponsorship. As an stated ally to Montreal’s Black communities through their sponsorship of Montreal Black History Month, we call on TD Bank to work in consultation to create a distinct strategy to support Afro-descendant communities, industries, and artists considering the particular reality of under-resourced and under-represented Black communities in Montreal, Quebec. 6. We call on Québec media organizations, many of which praised SLĀV and failed to provide equivalent space to Black voices to express their views, to provide more space to Black voices and prevent the backlash failed to provide the same freedom of expression to Black voices that Black people currently receive when they speak out about racial inequality and oppression. We demand that Québec media commit to hiring journalists from BIPOC communities and provide increased space for critical discussions about the treatment received by these communities in Québec. Numerous studies have demonstrated the lack of racial diversity among paid journalists in Canada and Quebec, as well as the biased media representations of Black and Indigenous people. More recently, a survey showed that, of twenty-two newspaper articles on the SLAV conflict in major newspapers, eighteen of the authors of the articles (82%) were white, only two authors were people of colour and two were bi-racial. Our demands that the media hire journalists from BIPOC communities and provide space for the discussion of these communities’ realities are meant to address these statistics, as this lack of representation affects the way that shows like SLAV, as well as the protests against SLAV, are covered. The media’s lack of understanding of cultural appropriation, for example, leads to caricatures of the arguments of SLAV’s critics and an unnecessarily divisive debate. In the past week, moreover, we have watched media organizations cast the cancellation of SLAV as an act of censorship. Censorship, we need to stress, refers to suppression of a person’s ability to express themselves. Robert Lepage, the most prominent individual behind SLAV, remains fully able to express himself. He possesses enormous resources and access to the media through which he can express his position in the SLAV conflict. He also retains access to various theatres through which he can present his work, including two major shows in the next six months and even further showings of SLAV in cities and towns outside Montréal. In contrast, critics of SLAV possess very few resources through which to communicate their views and must, if they wish to communicate their views, speak through a media landscape which largely fails to understand and properly reproduce these views. More importantly, these critics have faced various attacks, threats of violence, death threats, and acts of physical assault from those who disagree. If the media wishes to speak of censorship, these are the conditions that need to be addressed. The lack of diversity in Quebec, however, leads to these conditions being ignored. 7. We call on the Montréal public to respect peaceful protestors and their personal lives and privacy. We demand that the harassment and death threats issued to activists opposing the show SLĀV, and which have increased following the Jazz Fest’s cancellation of SLĀV from its programming, cease. Many of the death threats received by members of the resistance have been transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-migrant, and xenophobic and we have experienced this harassment simply for asking that those in power stop profiting off of our pain, and yet we are considered violent. Facing the backlash during our mobilization and following Jazz Fest’s cancellation of SLAV, it is clear that reflexion about public security is needed. Even though the police are hired to serve and protect, CBC data showed that Black victims are overrepresented in deadly encounters with Montreal police. A recent study found that the number one factor justifying police present into a big ùcanadian city is not the crime rate but the number of racialized and indigenous people living in that city. We have watched this same pattern manifest in the process of resisting SLAV. At the demonstration on June 26th, we were surrounded by about 20 police officers cops with more on call close to the building. The police were clearly protecting the patrons entering the theatre while neglecting to protect us from these very same patrons. One of the protestors was slapped in the face by one of the patrons in front of the police, but the police did nothing. The police were also violent themselves, as this testimony from a Black activist recounts: “A police officer grabbed me by the neck moving my body where he thought it should have been me to where he saw fit, and this very same officer grabbed another protestor by the arm doing the same, exerting his power.” this dynamic is a remnant of slavery and colonization and demonstrates the legacy of Quebec’s own history riddled with systemic, anti-Black racism. We are asking the public to take a moment and reflect on their violent aggressions towards us. We are asking you to look into issues surrounding modern racism and cultural appropriation as well as your own white privilege. Understand that you do not have to face the same realities we do when we step outside of our homes. We are also asking you to donate the same amount of money spent on shows at the Jazz festival to Black community organizations such as DESTA, Hoodstock, Black Theatre Workshop, Librarie Racines, the BCHM, Black Lives Matter, Maison d’Haiti, and Songs for Betty. We are asking you to listen to us. These are our demands, our vision for a better cultural future. To conclude, SLAV was the cataclysm to a conversation on race, racism, cultural appropriation and white privilege that makes most uncomfortable but that must be had nonetheless. So to those feeling uncomfortable in the wake of the SLAV conflict, we would first like to tell you it is normal to feel uncomfortable, it is a sign that problematic thoughts and behaviours are being challenged and it is the first step to unlearning them. Secondly, if your justification for supporting the show SLAV is to give a voice to the voiceless and put the historical issue of racism and slavery forward, then listening to what Black folk have to say should be your priority.

Canada - France forecast

New Post has been published on https://betting-tips.site/canada-france-forecast/

Canada - France forecast

May 16 will be held the next matches of the group stage of the world Cup of hockey, which Canada to meet with France. The beginning of the match in Kosice scheduled for 17:15 GMT.

Canada

Traditionally, the founders of hockey will be considered as one of the main contenders for gold medals. However, on the background of Russia and the U.S. “maple leaves” are not as ambitious, because the main opponents brought a very strong starting line-the world championship this year. Where Canadians should not be problems, so it is in the goalkeeper’s line. The coaching staff led by Alain vigneault picked up a strong team of goalkeepers, so for the last turn of the fans of the “maple leaf” not to worry. Carey Price has traditionally not wanted to come to the national team, so the first number will be Matt Murray, who moments fantastically plays for Pittsburgh. He is still only 24 years old, and he already has vast experience in the NHL. But the first number could be Carter HART of Philadelphia, who claimed the title of “breakthrough of the year in the NHL”.

Line of defense the “maple leaf” was getting quite interesting. The present composition of good defenders-scorers Darnell Nursi (Edmonton), Shea Theodore (“Vegas”) and Tom Chabot (“Ottawa”). Big names in defence is not, but deserves the attention of a pillar of protection “new Jersey” Damon, Syverson, 20-year-old Dante Fabbro, who managed from the student League during last season to break the Foundation of “Nashville”. As for the attack, the expected Crosby and McDavid did not come, however, without them the roster from the “maple leaf” is great, especially if you consider the fact that Canadians are not always serious about this tournament. The main star of this team is John Tavares, who shines with Toronto now. To Shine in Slovakia will be Sam Reinhart, Dylan Strom, Sean Couturier, and a couple of “Vegas” mark stone and Jonathan Marchesso.

France

The current world championship for the French is special – after 14 years of work on a post of the head coach is gone Dave Henderson. His replacement was Philip Higgs, who led Bordeaux have risen to the top division, making this team very competitive in the local League. But changes in the composition of France is a little – came 17 players, who performed at the last world Cup. On paper, the French look is not the best way, because no Stephan Da Costa and players from the NHL.

At the last world Cup against France defended Cristobal Huet, who for many years was irreplaceable, but now will have to do without him. The first number will be 34-year-old Florian Hardy, who plays for the “anger”. Changers also play in the French League. Protection among the interesting personalities you can mark Olivier Dame-Malka, who is a native of Canada, and even played in the AHL. This season he once again wanted to conquer North America, but the attempt was not successful. Given the fact that there will be Stephan Da Costa, the role of the scorer will have to take Guillaume LeClair, who in the championship of France is the most productive. Help him to be partners on the “Grenoble” Sasha Tray and Damien Fleury. The main asset is the young star of French hockey Alexander Texier, who recently made his debut for the “Columbus” with it successfully.

Statistics of personal meetings

Last time at the world Championships the teams have crossed paths 2 years ago. In that game, France was suddenly resisting maple leafs, losing only 2:3. If the French held on to overtime, they would have sponsored the greatest sensation, because to the exit in the playoffs then they needed only 1 point. Over the last 15 years the teams have played 7 times at the world Cup in France has one win in 2014-m to year.

Forecast

The French players in the top-level can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but most of them did not attend the world Cup. That is why in the match against “maple leaf” they have no chance whatsoever.

Forecast: P1 taking into account the handicap (-3.5)

Ratio: 1,50

La programmation télé 2018-2019 de Radio-Canada et de ses chaînes spécialisées RDI, Artv et Explora aura pour trame de fond «la création de valeur, tant dans les contenus, les auditoires convoités et les solutions aux annonceurs».

Reneault Poliquin, directeur général, ventes et multiplateformes, Montréal et est du Canada, du diffuseur public, précise la vision numérique de celui-ci. «C'est sûr que l'analyse de la gestion de données est au cœur de nos priorités stratégiques, mais avant tout, nous souhaitons respecter le consommateur en premier, donc consumer first avant d'être digital first.»

Il cite ainsi en exemple la plateforme numérique de données à laquelle les équipes ont travaillé depuis 18 derniers mois afin de suivre ce que les internautes consommaient, de manière à produire un meilleur contenu et à aider les annonceurs à mieux cibler l'auditoire.

Michel Cormier, directeur de l'information de Radio-Canada, souligne pour sa part que malgré l'érosion du marché télévisuel, le domaine de l'information s'est maintenu en matière de parts de marchés notamment en raison de nouvelles formules. La plateforme numérique Rad en est un exemple, elle qui permet au diffuseur public de se démarquer et d'aller chercher ces auditeurs «qui n'ont pas le câble». Il ajoute d'ailleurs que Rad proposera un mois de programmation spéciale pendant la campagne électorale automnale dans le but d'inciter les jeunes à voter. «Fait intéressant à noter: il y aura pour la première fois autant de milléniaux sinon plus que de bébés-boomers appelés à voter aux élections», un changement majeur dans le paysage politique, selon lui.

«L'information n'échappe pas à cette exigence de mettre l'accent sur le consommateur, explique-t-il. Les diffusions du contenu des grandes marques d'information comme le Téléjournal et Découverte à la télé sont toujours soutenues par du contenu numérique». Pas pour déplacer les gens de la télé vers le numérique, mais dans une stratégie d'hameçonnage pour que le contenu numérique les attire vers la télé.

Nouveautés 

demain des hommes

Source: radio-canada

Deux nouveautés seront présentées cet automne. Demain des hommes, de l'auteur Guillaume Vigneault qui en est à sa première série dramatique, met en vedette Émile Proulx-Cloutier, Joey Scarpellino, Normand D'amour, Marie-Chantal Perron, Marie-Anne Fortier et Alexis Martin. La série en 10 épisodes suit les vies d'une équipe de la Ligue de hockey junior de la ville fictive de Montferrand, en région. Malgré son thème, les producteurs assurent que la série n'attirera pas seulement les amateurs de hockey. Discussions avec mes parents, qui s'inspire de la vie de François Morency, présentera dans un format humoristique qui mélange fiction et réalité les échanges entre ce dernier et les membres de sa famille.

une autre histoire

source: radio-canada

Cet hiver, Une autre histoire marquera le retour de Marina Orsini en fiction, où elle jouera Anémone, 53 ans, qui apprend qu'elle souffre d'Alzheimer précoce. Une autre série dramatique, dont le titre est à confirmer, prendra l'affiche et sera portée par les auteurs de L'Auberge du chien noir.  

Renouvellements

Parmi les émissions qui reviendront pour une deuxième saison, notons 1res fois, mettant en vedette Véronique Cloutier, et Trop. Les Dieux de la danse reviendra pour une sixième édition dès le 6 septembre.

Acquisitions

Michel Pelletier, directeur des acquisitions de Radio-Canada, explique que la programmation de la chaîne générale cette année sera davatantage marquée par les reconductions de séries, surfant sur des séries qui ont connu beaucoup de succès, notamment Victoria et This is us.

«La façon de consommer les séries est différente depuis l'avènement de Netflix, souligne-t-il. On l'a vu avec Hubert et Fanny, un format de 10 épisodes qui ne reviendra pas pour une deuxième saison malgré sa grande popularité. Les consommateurs souhaitent de moins en moins s'engager sur du long terme.» Les deux nouvelles séries originales en exclusivité seront donc Liar, la Nuit du mensonge, qui raconte l'histoire d'un viol sur six épisodes, et Doctor Foster, une mini-série britannique en cinq épisodes qui relate une infidélité. 

Les chaînes Artv et Explora proposent, quant à elles, de nombreuses acquisitions, notamment des séries historiques. Parmi celles à souligner, notons la série américaine Good Girls Revolt, qui revient sur la vie de l'hebdomadaire national News of the Week en pleines revendications pour les droits des femmes en 1969, de même que Pique-nique à Ending Rock, inspiré d'un film des années 70 refait par une équipe jeune, qui traite de façon très contemporaine une histoire qui se déroule en 1900.

Nouveautés pour la création publicitaire

Renauld Poliquin est revenu sur les nouveautés en créativité média qui ont marqué la dernière année, notamment le premier épisode de District 31, diffusé sans publicité et qui donnait ainsi six minutes de plus à l'émission, la projection des Producteurs de lait du Québec sur la tour de Radio-Canada; le 50e anniversaire de McDonald's au Québec intégré aux Enfants de la télé; les pauses thématiques en lien avec diverses émissions. 

Une nouveauté à venir cette année qui rappelle le rendez-vous publicitaire du Super Bowl: Bye Bye, le 31 décembre, soufflera ses 50 bougies et sera l'hôte d'un nouveau terrain de jeu pour les annonceurs. En effet, le diffuseur public se tourne vers les créateurs publicitaires afin qu'ils se servent de ce moment comme rampe de lancement d'une campagne. Le public sera ensuite invité à voter pour la meilleure publicité parmi celles diffusées.

Caroline Dhavernas tourne dans CHASSE-GALERIE de Jean-Philippe Duval

Après un premier bloc de tournage à l'automne 2014, le film Chasse-galerie poursuit présentement son tournage dans les exotiques villes de Rawdon, St-Alphonse, Chertsey et St-Constant, annoncent Christal Films Productions et Films du Boulevard.

Réalisé par Jean-Philippe Duval, qu'on connaît pour ses longs métrages Matroni et moi et Dédé à travers les brumes, mais aussi pour la réalisation de la majorité de la série Unité 9, et scénarisé par Guillaume Vigneault, auteur du brillant Tout est parfait, en collaboration avec Mario Bolduc (Le dernier tunnel), Chasse-galerie met en vedette mon actrice québécoise préférée, Caroline Dhavernas, aux côtés de François Papineau, Vincent-Guillaume Otis et Francis Ducharme.

Voici le synopsis officiel :

Lavaltrie, 1888. Joe Lebel et Liza Gilbert sont amoureux. Mais Liza a une dette; elle n'en sait rien, mais vingt-deux ans plus tôt, son père a conclu un pacte occulte... qu'il a rompu. Et aujourd'hui, le sinistre Jack Murphy débarque en ville, comptant bien obtenir réparation... Bien vite, un incendie suspect force Joe à retourner sur les chantiers forestiers; le notaire Boisjoli rôde autour de la belle Liza... et l'hiver arrive. Le chantier semble maudit et, sans nouvelles de son amoureux, le doute s'installe chez Liza comme une gangrène. Joe parviendra-t-il à revenir des chantiers et déjouer la machination de ces forces obscures? Son dernier espoir, son ultime recours réside peut-être en... une dernière Chasse-galerie.

Chasse-galerie devrait prendre l’affiche d'ici la fin 2015.
