Ciné-Club Online Discussion: La déesse des mouches à feu / Goddess of the Fireflies

At Online Activity via Zoom

For le Mois de la Francophonie we are partnering with La Déléguation du Québec to offer you the unique opportunity for an exclusive film viewing!

La déesse des mouches à feu is the story of Catherine, a 16 year-old girl in the 90s and her friends who are experiencing a total immersion in the heart of invincibility and discovery of teenage pleasures. A shocking, moving film without censorship. Inspired by the book of the same name by Geneviève Pattersen.

Join Barbara and Marie-Josée Duquette, attachée à la Culture pour la Délégation du Québec for an online discussion after you watch - at your leisure - La déesse des mouches à feu.

The movie will be available for 72 hours from Sunday, March 13 at 12:00 PM to Wednesday, March 16 at 11:59 AM. You will receive an email with the link and the code on Sunday, March 13 at noon. If you register after March 13 but before March 16 you will receive the link a few hours after you register.
