Through encounters and shared stories, their search for identity unfolds between personal introspection and openness to the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nominated for the Jutra Awards and winner of the Magnus-Isacsson Award at RIDM, and broadcast internationally on TV5 Monde, <em>Quebekoisie<\/em> offers a sensitive reflection on living together, identity, intercultural relations, and our connection to territory in Quebec and Canada.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Synopsis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Featuring commentary by anthropologist Serge Bouchard and sociologist Pierrot Ross-Tremblay.<\/p>\n<p>At the age of 30, after traveling extensively around the world, Olivier and M\u00e9lanie realize that while they feel connected to the far reaches of the globe, they have never set foot on an Indigenous reserve in their own country, Canada. The young couple decides to cycle along Quebec\u2019s C\u00f4te-Nord to better understand the relationships between Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois and First Nations peoples. Where does this lack of knowledge about Indigenous peoples come from, when studies show that more than half of French Canadians have at least one Indigenous ancestor? Why do prejudices remain so deeply rooted? How can these relationships evolve? From chance encounters to planned meetings, the filmmakers\u2019 journey intersects with the surprising quest of an Innu man searching for his ancestors in Normandy, as well as the deeply moving path of the sister of Corporal Lemay, killed during the 1990 Oka Crisis.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Crew<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>Written, directed and produced by: Olivier Higgins and M\u00e9lanie Carrier<\/div>\n<div>Research: M\u00e9lanie Carrier, Olivier Higgins, Odette DesOrmeaux<\/div>\n<div>Director of Photography: Olivier Higgins<\/div>\n<div>Editing: Olivier Higgins and Myriam Verreault<\/div>\n<div>Image Post-Production: Studio \u00c9l\u00e9ment<\/div>\n<div>Color Grading: \u00c9ric Denis<\/div>\n<div>Animation and VFX: Mathieu Blouin and Thierry Roussel-Garneau<\/div>\n<div>Graphic Design: Simon Beaudry<\/div>\n<div>Sound Post-Production: Audio Zone<\/div>\n<div>Sound Design: Bruno Pucella<\/div>\n<div>Sound Mixing: Martin M.
