L'esprit des lieux -- Film Description:
"Celebrated Québécoise filmmaker Catherine Martin's exquisite documentary L'Esprit des lieux follows in the footsteps of photographer Gabor Szilasi, who documented the decline of rural, homegrown culture in Quebec's Charlevoix region three decades ago. Szilasi found a culture that, while endangered, was still very much alive; the subjects of his photographs retained a profound sense of community. Martin finds a very different world, one characterized by urbanization, global economic currents, bureaucracy and the decline of the Catholic church."
