THE SPIRIT OF PLACES
L’esprit des lieux

Catherine Martin | 2006| Documentary | 84 minutes
In 1970, Hungarian-Québécois photographer Gabor Szilasi set out for the Charlevoix region of Québec to photograph the last vestiges of a disappearing rural world.

Thirty-five years later, filmmaker Catherine Martin went back to revisit the landscape, places and people he photographed. L’esprit des lieux retraces Szilasi’s photographic journey, taking stock of what remains and what has disappeared.

In French with English subtitles

Presented in association with the Canadian Film Institute and the generous financial support of the Klondike Visitors Association.
