LES VIDÉOGRAPHES: OVER TIME
LES VIDÉOGRAPHES is a program created by Luc Bourdon in collaboration with Karine Boulanger, Denis Vaillancourt and the Vidéographe team.
Composed during the pandemic period, this project responds to the ultimate desire and need to gather in front of the big screen and see the video works of yesterday and today in the presence of the public and artists.
On November 28, 1971, Vidéographe officially opened its doors on rue Saint-Denis, in the heart of the Latin Quarter.
1971-2021... 50 years of history!
The former Executive Director of the Festival international du nouveau cinéma et des nouveaux Médias de Montréal (FCMM), Luc Bourdon has made over fifty works which have been shown at festivals and on television both within Canada and abroad. In 1998, the Canada Council for the Arts awarded Bourdon the Bell Canada Prize in recognition of excellence in video art. Working in many areas, he juggles fiction and documentary, essay and experimentation, installation and reporting, as well as film production and broadcasting.
List of works in program
The Vidéographe Project was born and developed using video technology. 50 years later, with nearly 2,300 works by hundreds of videographers, we come across a multitude of subjects, viewpoints, and aesthetics.
This selection of short videos allows you to see and hear the works of some prominent videographers of the collection. As an introduction, a video shot in 1972 documenting the use of the first generation of a video editing bench, either an electronic machine to cut image time and sound, or a real feat for the time
