They are taped interviews, with artists talking about creation, distribution, influences, grants, etc. Each title is a testimonial. Thus, Cozic, Tousignant, De Laval, Lafleur, Mercier, Gnass, Tremblay, Montpetit, Derouin, who work in a range of creative disciplines, present their point of view on the place of the artist and the creative process in our society.
