As part of its Screen Summit industry programming and based on a soon-to-be published comprehensive survey on public policy and film restoration practices, the CFI’s International Film Festival of Ottawa (IFFO), with Telefilm Canada and the French Embassy in Canada gathered Canadian and international film archivists, distributors, exhibitors, and streaming services to discuss the current state of our endangered cinematic heritage. Celebrating recent restorations of classic films with case studies and special screenings, this one-day conference also hosted panel discussions on ways to increase the accessibility of this heritage to audiences worldwide.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022, Mireille Dansereau’s ground-breaking independent experimental feature drama LA VIE RÊVÉE (1972) has been meticulously restored by Quebecor’s Eléphant: memory of Québec cinema initiative. This case study will examine the process by which this film came to be selected, restored and given a new life in the global streaming universe.


The film’s writer and director Mireille Dansereau and Dominique Dugas, Executive Director of Éléphant will revisit the journey in a conversation moderated by Paulina Abarca-Cantin, Programming Lead for the CMF’s Encore+ YouTube channel.
