Poster for Louise Lamarre's film Le Lieux-dit-de-l’Arbre-Sec

Louise Lamarre launches a new film at the Festival de cinéma de la ville de Québec

Le Lieux-dit-de-l’Arbre-Sec, Professor Louise Lamarre’s latest film and the first in her upcoming Québec Fantastique collection, debuted at the 2022 edition of the Festival de cinéma de la ville de Québec (FCVQ).

Set in 1663 on L'Île d'Orléans, the 22-minute film recounts the legend of some wish-granting and very mischievous leprechauns from the perspective of a charming beggar-storyteller. Lamarre’s distinctive rear-projection technique brings this magical story to life on the screen.
