Produced by Parabola Films in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada, with the financial participation of SODEC - Société de développement des entreprises culturelles - Québec, Crédit d'impôt pour production cinématographique ou magnétoscopique canadienne and Crédit d'impôt cinéma et télévision - Gestion SODEC, in collaboration with Canal D, and with the participation of Rogers Documentary Fund.
On August 26th, 2010, fourteen filmmakers recorded multiple
stories in the Montreal neighbourhood of Saint-Henri. The resulting film is a
touching, funny and fascinating day-in-the-life of an eclectic community.
Doris roams the streets collecting bottles; Belinda is a
vibrant hair stylist from Togo; Babyface, the fifteen-year-old Canadian
featherweight boxing champion, prepares for a match; Robert and Edmée enjoy
their golden years together; and urban explorer Danielle scales abandoned
buildings and descends into Saint-Henri's sewers. These are just a few of the
characters we follow in St-Henri, the 26th of August, a film
that explores what community means to us today, and how we inhabit our
neighbourhoods.
Inspired by the 1962 NFB film À Saint-Henri le cinq
septembre, this unique collaborative project brings together some of
the brightest talents in Montreal’s contemporary documentary scene to capture
these compelling stories.
