ELAN members are invited to an exclusive screening of the feature-length documentary, What We Choose to Remember. Directed by ELAN’s founding Executive Director, Guy Rodgers, the film features a cast of more than 30 characters, whose families arrived in successive waves of immigration. The oldest families arrived during the period of ‘two solitudes’ when Montreal’s population was more than 50% English. They share firsthand accounts decades of political upheaval. The most recent immigrants arrived believing linguistic conflicts were ancient history. What We Choose to Remember explores the things that make Quebec so fascinating, frustrating and different.
This free screening will take place on June 9 at 2PM at the NFB building in Montreal. ELAN members must RSVP by email in order to attend. If you wish to reserve a free ticket, please email guyrexrodgers[at]gmail.com
