They chose to leave their “bitter land” and found themselves in Quebec, a province that has always been open to interbreeding. Men and women of courage and resilience, available to let themselves be invaded by a “nomadic spirit”. Some of them, on their way to the northern cold mining regions, discovered (thanks to culinary and musical “contamination”) a special bond with the “Innu” Innu, those who lived there long before any wave migration.

Paolo Quaregna was born in 1946 in Turin, Italy. He is a director and writer, known for Dancing North (2000), Another Homeland (2019) and Felicità ad oltranza (1982).

The Festival, with the support of the Italian Cultural Institute of Montreal, will take place from January 30 to February 09, 2020. Over thirty films are in competition every year. A focus is on Quebec films, but also international productions presented exclusively in the region.
