FILM

Watch for a film on the week-long showdown, in Montreal, between 18 vintage sixteen and seventeenth century Italian violins, one only to be chosen for the new concert master of the Montreal symphony, a film on the photographer Evergon and his 89 year old mother, the model, when she was only 80, for his majestic series of nude portraits, and Nightwalk, a film that evokes the mystery and menace of the city at night, through the manipulation of black and white still photographs.

TRANSLATION

Donald Winkler's translation of Partita pour Glenn Gould by Quebec philosopher Georges Leroux is scheduled for publication this autumn with McGill-Queen's Press. The book won the Grand prix du livre de Montréal in 2007, and was a finalist for the Governor General's Award.
