Views of Quebec Cinema

In 2025, Clément Thoby traveled to Montreal to explore the landscapes, lights, and settings of Quebec cinema. After extensive research and several sleepless nights spent staring at his computer screen, the Parisian illustrator selected six iconic scenes from six films that recount a tiny but fascinating part of the history of Quebec cinema. A residency at LIVART in Montreal, organized in partnership with KIBLIND, as part of the IF Export program of the Institut français.

" I took over Rue de Longueuil, located in Mommy with the hero skateboarding (a cult scene where he spreads his arms to extend the screen ratio). In a very similar setting to Matthias and Maxime, Xavier Dolan, who stars in the film, waits for Matthias' character leaning against a car. It is his silhouette that I placed at the bottom right as a discreet nod.." Clément Thoby

Clément Thoby

Like a memory from who knows where. A fleeting image that we kept in our minds in case the need for comfort became too insistent, without knowing if it really belonged to us. Such are the drawings of Clément Thoby, which evoke more than they describe, which transport more than they narrate. A cabin in the woods, a Parisian park, Japanese signs... we make these landscapes our own, even though we have never seen them, and we relive scenes we have never witnessed. The Parisian artist's lively pencil strokes have the power to enter our private lives, to intrude into our mental space and become a pillar on which to rest. For these colors are familiar to us, these lights have already dazzled us, and these places, even if we have never been there, we have already dreamed of them.
