	Bird Next date : Saturday November 9, 2024 at 13:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema • Drama Andrea Arnold \| 2024 \| United Kingdom, United States, France, Germany \| 119 min \| English with French subtitles For her first feature film since AMERICAN HONEY (2016), Andrea Arnold offers us her unique take on British-style social realism, infusing it with a surprising amount of wonder. Eccentric and, in the end deeply moving, we follow twelve-year-old Bailey (Nykiya Adams, a formidable revelation) living in a squat with her young father Bug (Barry Keoghan), the king of hustle. Independent and rebellious, she roams the streets and fields and meets the enigmatic Bird, whose initiatory quest she will embrace. To this wholly magical character, Franz Rogowski brings his talents as a dancer and choreographer, with his distinctive way of inhabiting space. Visually splendid and emotionally rich, deeply empathetic and full of genuine hope, BIRD is completely mesmerizing.

Many people who are willing to verbalise their thoughts will describe a scene where a man and a woman are engaged in a specific sexual activity: vaginal penetration by the penis. In our collective imagination, these very gentle and poetic terms are associated with this sexual practice. Gabrielle wonders why so much importance is attached to penetration in sexual relations. What invisible threads does this representation of sexuality weave in our minds? And what about those people who can't or won't 'make love'... like her? By following her in her hope to find answers to these questions, Contre toute attente is a breach between the territories of codes of conduct and those where we leave room for the sounds of our echoes. Listening sessions of episodes 1 and 2, followed by a discussion with the director and the sound and music designer.

He sets off on a road trip to some of Quebec's First Nations communities in search of meaning, healing and another way of reading the world. He tries to understand the ravages of colonialism perpetrated on these nations by a system that still favors it. He seeks to see what has been done in his name, with the intuition that through these people, he will better understand his own distress. His journey takes him as far as the prison system, where the over-representation of First Nations people is symptomatic of the traumas these communities have inherited, and of the systemic racism that persists.

The conflict spread throughout Québec, creating enormous tensions that degenerated into violence and culminated in a bloody riot. LA BATAILLE DE SAINT-LÉONARD tells the story of Raymond Lemieux and Mario Barone, two remarkable yet forgotten men of modest origins, who each fought with strength and conviction, despite the heavy consequences to themselves, their families, and their professional lives. Their struggle changed the destiny of Québec and led to the adoption of the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101).

Summoned to an isolated seaside estate on a secret assignment, Marianne (Noémie Merlant) must find a way to paint a wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), who is resisting chattel marriage, by furtively observing her. What unfolds in exquisite tension is an exchange of sustained gazes in which the two women come to know each other's gestures, expressions, and bodies with rapturous intimacy, ultimately forging a subversive creative collaboration as well as a delirious romance. Charged with a yearning that almost transcends time and space, Portrait of a Lady on Fire mines the emotional and artistic possibilities that emerge when women can freely live together and see one another in a world without men.

Searching for answers, we grabbed our camera and immersed ourselves for nearly four years in our children's world-a realm where each small act is extraordinary and where each story remains untold. Little Béatrice, with her boundless 3-year-old energy, plunges us into her lively world of make-believe. While her elder brother Émile, now learning to read and write, begins to ask questions like, "Are atoms alive?" Gradually, Émile also shows an interest in his father's camera. Through a mix of observational style and lyrical visuals from a child's point of view, this cinematographic journey prompts us to reflect: What do we lose as we grow up? And what stories of life do we wish to pass down to them? View prices Buy tickets General 10,00 $ Student, senior 65+, child 8,00 $ Other prices

	La cartomancie du territoire Next date : Friday November 22, 2024 at 18:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema • Documentary Philippe Ducros \| 2024 \| Québec (Canada) \| 77 min \| French, Innu-aimun, English with French subtitles LA CARTOMANCIE DU TERRITOIRE tells the story of an overworked French-speaking Quebecer, like many others in our time. He sets off on a road trip to some of Quebec's First Nations communities in search of meaning, healing and another way of reading the world. He tries to understand the ravages of colonialism perpetrated on these nations by a system that still favors it. He seeks to see what has been done in his name, with the intuition that through these people, he will better understand his own distress. His journey takes him as far as the prison system, where the over-representation of First Nations people is symptomatic of the traumas these communities have inherited, and of the systemic racism that persists.

	La bataille de Saint-Léonard Next date : Friday November 22, 2024 at 20:15 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema • Documentary Félix Rose \| 2024 \| Québec (Canada) \| 108 min \| French An unprecedented language crisis unfolded in the heart of the town of Saint-Leonard in 1968-1969. French-speaking parents demanded French-only schools, while members of the Italian community wanted to preserve bilingual schools. The conflict spread throughout Québec, creating enormous tensions that degenerated into violence and culminated in a bloody riot. LA BATAILLE DE SAINT-LÉONARD tells the story of Raymond Lemieux and Mario Barone, two remarkable yet forgotten men of modest origins, who each fought with strength and conviction, despite the heavy consequences to themselves, their families, and their professional lives. Their struggle changed the destiny of Québec and led to the adoption of the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101).

	Portrait de la jeune fille en feu Next date : Friday November 29, 2024 at 20:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema • Drama Céline Sciamma \| 2019 \| France \| 119 min \| French Passion brews quietly between an artist and her subject, until together they create a space in which it can briefly flourish, in this sumptuous eighteenth-century romance from Céline Sciamma, one of contemporary French cinema's most acclaimed auteurs. Summoned to an isolated seaside estate on a secret assignment, Marianne (Noémie Merlant) must find a way to paint a wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), who is resisting chattel marriage, by furtively observing her. What unfolds in exquisite tension is an exchange of sustained gazes in which the two women come to know each other's gestures, expressions, and bodies with rapturous intimacy, ultimately forging a subversive creative collaboration as well as a delirious romance. Charged with a yearning that almost transcends time and space, Portrait of a Lady on Fire mines the emotional and artistic possibilities that emerge when women can freely live together and see one another in a world without men.

	Simon & Marianne Next date : Friday December 6, 2024 at 18:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema • Documentary Martin Fournier, Pier-Luc Latulippe \| 2024 \| Québec (Canada) \| 71 min \| French This moving documentary follows Simon and Marianne during their final weeks together. Suffering from incurable brain cancer, writer and college literature teacher Simon Roy has requested medical assistance in dying. Filmmakers Pier-Luc Latulippe and Martin Fournier compose spellbinding vignettes of this couple's daily life in cozy black and white, wrapped in a delicate sound design. From their discussions emerge, with disarming lucidity, their relationship to death, but above all to life and love. Filled with tenderness and at the protagonists' pace, these intimate moments are captured using meticulous still shots with respect devoid of voyeurism. Although confrontational, this luminous film emerges as a celebration of the present moment. (RIDM) View prices Buy tickets General 10,00 $ Student, senior 65+, child 8,00 $ Other prices
	À hauteur d'enfant Next date : Tuesday December 10, 2024 at 18:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema • Documentary Mélanie Carrier, Olivier Higgins / 2024 / Québec (Canada) / 93 min / French As filmmakers who became parents in a North American suburb, we asked ourselves how to explain life to our children. Searching for answers, we grabbed our camera and immersed ourselves for nearly four years in our children's world-a realm where each small act is extraordinary and where each story remains untold. Little Béatrice, with her boundless 3-year-old energy, plunges us into her lively world of make-believe. While her elder brother Émile, now learning to read and write, begins to ask questions like, "Are atoms alive?" Gradually, Émile also shows an interest in his father's camera. Through a mix of observational style and lyrical visuals from a child's point of view, this cinematographic journey prompts us to reflect: What do we lose as we grow up? And what stories of life do we wish to pass down to them? View prices Buy tickets General 10,00 $ Student, senior 65+, child 8,00 $ Other prices
