About
Since 2010, Funambules Médias' Cinéma sous les étoiles has been offering an outdoor cinema program whose mission is to promote social, political and environmental documentary films, as well as to develop critical thinking through animated discussions about the works and issues that are addressed.
This 14th edition of the festival will feature 45 citizen-friendly screenings, all free of charge, in 15 parks and outdoor venues in Montreal. With these proximity events in the heart of the public space, both film buffs and the uninitiated can access our selection of local and international short and feature-length documentaries.
Farming the Revolution
Farming the Revolution takes us to the heart of the massive year-long protests against the Indian government's unjust farm laws. The film crew lives among the half million farmers to make us experience the daily texture and indomitable spirit of this historic movement.
The Flag
Yasser, a human rights activist, explores Paris to share a neglected truth, while Joseph, a filmmaker, accompanies him to analyze France's identitarian withdrawal through the evolution of political and media discourse over five decades. Their quest confronts the present with history to grasp the continuing regression of our freedoms.
Evicted City
Montreal is now in the midst of an unprecedented housing crisis. An intimate portrait of socio-political resistance, this multilayered film explores the human impact of real estate speculation on the cities of tomorrow.
Orlando, My Political Biography
One hundred years after Virginia Woolf's Orlando, where the character changes sex, Paul B. Preciado asserts that the world is becoming "Orlandesque" and organizes a casting call for today's Orlandos. This film project explores the transformation of the world in a poetic and political way.
A Golden Life
In Burkina Faso, young men look under the earth for gold – and a better future. As a result, 16-year-old Rasmané barely seems like a teenager any more. This mainly observational film follows him into the 100-metre abyss of small-scale mining.
Breaking Social
Breaking Social explores the possibilities of overcoming injustice and corruption. The film aims to re-imagine the building blocks of our societies and ignite the hope that lives within us all.
Twice Colonized
Aaju Peter embarks on a quest to recover her language and culture, from which she was cut off by colonial assimilation policies. Her personal journey, filmed over seven years, shows how courage, emotion and conviction can combine to have a lasting influence on the course of history.
