Event description

The MEM and FICAM invite you to a screening of the film 19° by Sylvain Gélinas, produced by Cinéall. This production company is specialized in the creation of adapted films and content for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.

The film will be shown in French with French subtitles. A Québec Sign Language (LSQ) interpreter will be present.

The screening will be held in the MEM’s Cabaret. Adapted transport vehicles can park in the drop-off area in front of the museum and there is elevator access to the Cabaret.

The activity is accessible to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, to wheelchair users and to non-disabled members of the public.

L’Astralopithèque, a work by the art collective Cummings&Pifko, will be shown in the Cabaret from October 21 to 25. It is presented by the digital creation centre TOPO, which will also be setting up a demo area in Workshop 1 at the MEM under the theme, “Art, digital creation and well-being.” The area will include interactive installations, games, a virtual reality experience and websites.
