Started by two film fans, the Festival du nouveau cinéma (Festival of new cinema) is now in its 42nd year. This year’s edition features 273 films from 47 countries.
The focus has always been to expand horizons, and show all kinds of films, particularly independent cinema and films lacking distribution or corporate sponsorship.
Even so, the Montreal festival mixes films by cinematic masters and new and up and coming filmmakers. This year it started on October 9 and continues until Sunday, October 21.
