Free Screening of À contre-mode & Femmes réparées, corps sur-mesure

The public is invited to join producer Louise Lalonde and director/producer Hélène Lebon at City Cinema in Charlottetown on March 15 at 2 pm for a free screening of À contre-mode and Femmes réparées, corps sur-mesure. 

Both documentaries feature PEI residents with unique stories to tell, and both are in French with English subtitles. After the screening, there will be a Q&A with the producer and director to shed light on working in the film industry in PEI and the specific challenges of each of these films.  

In À contre-mode, three students from École François-Buote are featured as they organize and plan a fashion show with only second-hand clothing in an effort to encourage their peers to use their power to help protect the environment, save some money, be fashion forward, and have some fun doing it. The three students who truly rise to the challenge are Joelle Blanchard, Milia Kebbi, and Lucas Calhoun.

Femmes réparées, corps sur-mesure brings together Maureen Hanley, Simonne Cormier, and Emmanuelle LeBlanc—three women touched by breast cancer who turn fragility into strength, stitching together resilience, memory, and a fierce desire to fully inhabit life. 

Tickets are available, free of charge, at citycinema.ca and at the door starting at 1:30 pm.
