THE MONTREAL INTERNATIONAL BLACK FILM FESTIVAL

The Fabienne Colas Foundation, which created the Montreal and Quebec City International Haitian Film Festival and the Quebec Film Festival in Haiti, is pleased and proud to inaugurate the Montreal International Black Film Festival, slated to run from September 23 to 27, 2009. The goal of the Montreal International Black Film Festival is to continue to diversify the cultural offering in Quebec, to create opportunities for new encounters and for sharing, and to become more inclusive. This newly created festival is presenting the 5th Montreal international Haitian Film Festival this year.

The Montreal International Black Film Festival wants to promote a different kind of cinema, cinema that hails from here or from abroad and that does not necessarily have the opportunity to grace the big screen, groundbreaking cinema that moves us, that raises awareness and takes us all by surprise! The Montreal International Black Film Festival wants to deal with issues and present works that raise questions, that provoke, that make us smile, that leave us perplexed, that shock us... A fresh, new look at black cinema from the four corners of the globe!!!
