The Films of Our Life
at Théâtre Outremont

Roland Smith and 20 personalities present their favourite films

A Woman Under the Influence

From August 2 through September 2, a celebration of film will take place at Théâtre Outremont in collaboration with Roland Smith, former Théâtre Outremont owner and current film distributor. Forty favourite films of twenty personalities from the world of communications in Quebec will be shown during Les films de notre vie / The Films of Our Life, a sequel to Les films de ma vie/The Films of My Life, which welcomed thousands of enthusiastic film lovers last year.

City Lights

The Films of Our Life, whose spokesperson is Rock Demers, will be showing films rarely seen on the big screen today. Most of the 20 personalities who have selected the films will introduce them before the screening. The Films of Our Life gathers well-known classics with significant yet lesser-known films that organizers hope to introduce to new audiences.

These are popular films with great artistic value… rare jewels, masterpieces by major auteurs… which means quality is guaranteed.
