Détails des Films

LES COWBOYS FRINGANTS – Film concert Centre Bell 2023
Québec (Canada) | 108 min | Film-Concert
Réalisation : Louis-Philippe Eno
**Les Cowboys Fringants like you’ve never seen them before!** (Re)live the magical atmosphere of one of the band’s shows, as if you were on stage with them. Twenty years after the historic 2003 recording of Les Cowboys Fringants at the Bell Centre, which marked the end of their exceptional *Break Syndical* tour, the band did it again in January 2023 with a landmark concert filmed at the Videotron Centre during their *Les Antipodes* tour, which broke all attendance and ticket sales records. Les Cowboys Fringants are no strangers to large-scale concerts, having repeatedly filled the Bell Centre and the Videotron Centre to capacity, as well as dozens of arenas across French-speaking Europe. A festive crowd, an unmatched connection with the audience, visibly moved fans, breathtaking cinematic visuals, and the band’s greatest anthems—this new concert film is reminiscent of legendary rock concert movies.

Les Furies
Durée : 1h47 Comédie sportive Canada (Québec)2025
With its intense and imperfect heroines, **LES FURIES** is the first female-led Quebecois sports comedy. Waterloo now has its own semi-pro men’s hockey team, effectively pushing the city’s amateur women’s leagues out of the arena. To avenge their lost ice time, an impulsive hockey player and a ruthless octogenarian—an ex-derby champion—have a plan: recruit the city’s overlooked women and form a clandestine roller derby team. With the support of the local women’s cooperative, they’ll prove that women’s sports can also electrify the crowd, and that sisterhood is the ultimate act of resistance.
