Published purpose

The Cinémathèque québécoise is seeking to digitize and restore the film components of the documentary series Le Son des Français d’Amérique, in order to preserve these films and to make them accessible on digital platforms. Co-directed from 1974 to 1980 by Quebec filmmakers André Gladu and Michel Brault, this series consists of 27 30-minute episodes, each dedicated to the musical and sung heritage of the Francophone cultures of America. The related audiovisual archives are kept at the Cinémathèque and, since 2017, have been included in the UNESCO International Memory of the World Register.
