The film offers a contemplative immersion in which Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s landscapes, seen from above, resonate with the artist\u2019s thought and work.<\/p>\n<p>Echoing <em>L\u2019Hommage \u00e0 Rosa Luxemburg<\/em>, Riopelle\u2019s monumental painting spanning thirty panels, the film brings together some thirty aerial shots of Qu\u00e9bec landscapes. The painter\u2019s voice, drawn from archival recordings, accompanies the images in fragments, evoking his relationship with creation and the artistic gesture.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">This new documentary work by filmmakers Olivier Higgins and M\u00e9lanie Carrier is on view starting in October 2026 at the brand-new Espace Riopelle at the Mus\u00e9e national des beaux-arts du Qu\u00e9bec, as part of the permanent exhibition dedicated to the artist. The film thus occupies a special place alongside <em>L\u2019Hommage \u00e0 Rosa Luxemburg<\/em>, one of the painter\u2019s landmark works.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Credits<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Directed by: Olivier Higgins &amp; M\u00e9lanie Carrier<br \/>\nVoice: Jean Paul Riopelle<br \/>\nAudio archives: Radio-Canada, INA<br \/>\nCinematography: Olivier Higgins, Marcelo Riveros, Colin Surprenant<br \/>\nColor grading: \u00c9ric Denis<br \/>\nImage post-production: Studio \u00c9l\u00e9ment<br \/>\nSound mixing: Pierre-Jules Audet, Maxime Vermette<br \/>\nMusic: Tabula Rasa, composed by Arvo P\u00e4rt, performed by Ang\u00e8le Dubeau &amp; La Piet\u00e0<br \/>\nL&#8217;Esprit d&#8217;escalier, composed and performed by Pierre-Yves Martel<br \/>\nProduction: M\u00d6 FILMS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This art-house film offers a contemplative immersion in which Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s landscapes, seen from above, resonate with the world and artistic practice of painter Jean Paul Riopelle.
