vidéo-club – Spotlight on Pierre Falardeau and Julien Poulin

PROGRAMMING

July 9, 2025 - 7 pm
Cinéma Moderne

$16



The video-club series is presented by Vidéographe, in collaboration with Cinéma Moderne.

Vidéographe invites cinephiles and curious minds alike to an evening of screenings and discussion celebrating the historic collaboration between two major Québécois artists, Pierre Falardeau and Julien Poulin.

As a tribute to Julien Poulin, this program highlights his behind-the-scenes contributions to the politically engaged films he created alongside Pierre Falardeau. As a close collaborator and co-creator of a body of uncompromising work, Poulin was responsible for sound and accompanied Falardeau on shoots that confronted them with political realities—realities that, through their lens, became sources of both outrage and awareness. These experiences would shape a visceral, body-centered cinema that remained a hallmark of their work.

The program was curated and will be introduced by Mathieu Li-Goyette, film critic, programmer, and editor-in-chief of Panorama-cinéma. The event will conclude with a discussion with the audience.

Recipient of the 2025 REW/FF Residency: Ylenia Olibet

Curatorial Residency for Emerging Curators and Programmers – Vithèque

2025



We are delighted to announce that Ylenia Olibet has been selected as the recipient of our 2025 REW/FF residency.

Ylenia Olibet is a researcher and educator who has been based in Montréal since 2016. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University. Her work explores how audiovisual archives can inspire social movements, with a focus on transnational and decolonial perspectives, as well as feminist and queer approaches to film culture in Francophone contexts.

Ylenia holds a PhD in Film Studies from Concordia University. In August 2023, she defended her dissertation titled “Feminist Film Culture in 21st-Century Québec: A Transnational Perspective.” Her doctoral and postdoctoral research has been supported by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec. Her writings have been published in Feminist Media Studies, Feminist Media Histories, Mai: Journal of Feminist Visual Culture, European Journal of Women’s Studies, and several edited volumes.

During her curatorial residency at Vidéographe, Ylenia will develop a reflection on the city of Montréal. How does Vidéographe’s collection document the city’s urban transformations? Her project aims to examine the social construction of space through material issues—such as gentrification or the environmental crisis—while considering the urban landscape as a lens for thinking about resistance beyond fixed territorial and identity frameworks.

In collaboration with Centre Beau Voyage, Vidéographe organized a series of workshops for youth aged 12 to 17, designed to spark creativity and explore issues of self-representation online through video and digital technologies. Last month, participants experimented with a range of video creation tools during a VJing-focused workshop series led by artist Guillaume Vallée.

Vidéographe extends its sincere thanks to the Desjardins Caisse du Plateau-Mont-Royal and the Caisse de la Culture for their generous support of the project.
