True North - Film Screening
2026-08-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Cité des Hospitalières Chapel, 251 Avenue des Pins, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Join us on Friday, August 28th for a screening of Michèle Stephenson’s 2025 feature documentary “True North”!
The film chronicles the history of Black people in Canada with a focus on the period of Resistance in the 1960s. Showcasing rare audio and visual footage of the 1968 Black Writers Congress that took place here at McGill University and the ensuing 1969 Occupation of Sir George Williams Campus (now Concordia University). Contextualizing these events within a broader global Black Liberation movement, the documentary seeks to disprove claims that Canada, historically and presently, does not have a racism problem.
We are honoured to have the director Michèle Stephenson join us virtually for a post screening Q&A session! This event is free and open to the general public!

Chloe Damm
7 minutes

An ethnography of the late-night bar staff at Brasserie Benelux, Nightshift explores the unique lifestyle imposed by night shift work. Featuring interviews with bartenders and bussers, the film inquires into the impact of nightshift work on one’s physical and mental health, as well as the alternative social norms of the bar at night.

1973
Gilles Groulx
113 minutes
français avec sous-titres anglais
A radical documentary capturing the energy of the labor movement in Québéc in the early 1970s, a time when Québéc’s three largest unions— CSN, FTQ, and CEQ— came together to take a stand against the Québéc government. Groulx exposes the evils of consumer society in the context of workers’ rights, offering a Marxist critique of the capitalist ethos.
