Quebec’s past on screen

Amy J. Ransom examines French-language fiction features from Quebec’s post-2000 film industry, focusing on films that construct images of the past. The book considers how these works revisit and revise historical material for contemporary audiences, and how they contribute to a shared “historical imaginary” through new sites of memory. Its subject is the relationship between cinema, historical representation, and Quebec’s national culture, set against the growth and genre range of the province’s film industry since 2000.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Quebec cinema and national film traditions.
  • Readers exploring how films represent history and collective memory.
  • Students and scholars of Quebec cultural studies or film studies.
