From arthouse to Canuxploitation, Canadian International Pictures (CIP) is devoted to resurrecting vital, distinctive, and overlooked triumphs of Canadian cinema. This label is focused on the country’s original cinematic boom years – spanning the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s – occasionally venturing past that period (and the country’s borders) to highlight the films of Canada’s most inspired actors and filmmakers. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing CIP's brand new line of home video releases!

Four more trailblazing classics from the dawn of Québec’s cinematic revolution    

Between Sweet and Salt Water (Entre la mer et l'eau douce) – Leaving his rural hometown for the trials and tribulations of success in the city, young folksinger Claude (Orders star Claude Gauthier) begins a charged romance with waitress Geneviève (Dead Ringers’ Geneviève Bujold). Legendary filmmaker Michel Brault’s celebrated fiction feature debut transposed the intimacy and immediacy of his vérité work and brought new legitimacy to independent cinema in Québec.

Where Are You? (Où êtes-vous donc?) – Coming together across an extended road trip to Montréal, Christian, Georges, and Mouffe each forge a unique path in the face of an increasingly consumerist society. Filmmaker Gilles Groulx’s follow-up to The Cat in the Bag is an intoxicating formal kaleidoscope that pushes cinematic language to its limits.   

Geneviève – Traveling to Québec City for a winter carnival, teenagers Geneviève (Bujold) and Louise (A Woman in Transit's Louise Marleau) experience the joys and disillusionment of a young love affair with Bernard (Bernard Arcand) in Michel Brault’s first collaboration with Bujold.

Fabienne (Fabienne sans son jules) – Restless with local celebrity and longing for a lead role in a film, free-spirited chanteuse Fabienne (famed Québécois singer Pauline Julien) relentlessly pursues an offscreen Jean-Luc Godard in this early short from Jacques Godbout (YUL 871).

Quiet Revolution: Canadian International Pictures Restores Québec’s New Wave to Blu-ray

"Brings together four key works by Michel Brault, Gilles Groulx, and Jacques Godbout, ranging from intimate, vérité-tinged romantic dramas to more fragmented, formally playful studies of youth, politics, and modern life. Geneviève Bujold is a recurring presence, anchoring Brault’s contributions with a natural, lived-in charisma that ties the collection together. Restored in 2K from original elements and supplemented with new interviews, commentaries, archival material, and contextual writing, the Blu-ray gives these films the kind of care and visibility they’ve long deserved. It’s especially rewarding to see this era of Canadian cinema given such a focused spotlight, reframing it not as a regional footnote but as a genuinely adventurous and influential moment in film history."
