Médecins de coeur

Le quartier Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, à Montréal, est totalement inconnu des touristes, tout comme l'est son Chic Resto Pop. Il s'agit pourtant d'un restaurant unique au monde : à une population pour qui la faim n'a rien d'exotique, il réussit à offrir à bon compte les surplus que lui donnent les marchands. Issus du quartier, guettés par toutes les dérives, les jeunes qui y travaillent connaissent là un moment capital de leur existence. Ce sont les vedettes de ce film où ils se dévoilent en rires et en chansons. Sur une musique de rock, de blues, de western ou de simple ballade, ils disent leur vérité, accompagnés de Cassonade (Steve Faulkner), le musicien qui les a aidés à la mettre en forme.

AIDS is giving rise to profound soul-searching and debate. While those living with HIV and AIDS do their utmost to maintain their quality of life, health care professionals struggle to provide medical and support services, researchers and clinicians pool their knowledge, and philosophers and humanists open up new avenues of thought. Doctors with Heart enters the doors of an AIDS clinic in Montreal, providing a thoughtful look at all aspects of AIDS through the eyes of some particularly compassionate and dedicated doctors. Candid and original in its approach, this powerful documentary explores the legal and ethical problems facing contemporary medicine as it confronts one of its biggest challenges. In French with English subtitles.

Welcome to the magnificent yet unheralded world of choral music. A world inhabited by exceptional beings who have the capacity to experience joy from a single musical note. Individuals who partake in remarkable efforts to unveil that dream of beauty which preoccupies each and every one of them. You may notice them singing anywhere and everywhere: at the wheel, in the shower, even in the kitchen. But above all, they sing together, men and women of all ages and various backgrounds, transformed by the radiant glory of song, and united under the banner of L'Ensemble vocal d'Outremont. Music is at the centre of their universe and gives them the intense feeling of belonging to the human race. Especially as the big night approaches and the collective dream of perfect harmony is but a breath away.
