Presented only in theatres
In a public space reverberating with the echoes of protests, À bras-le-corps chronicles the birth of an insurrection. As chaos gradually unfolds, the mass of demonstrators forges a profound solidarity, coalescing into a unified entity and transforming the protest into a space of emancipation where the beauty of a group in fierce revolt is vividly expressed. Through a choreographic score, the film bridges our current fights with those of the past and future.

Production
Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin
Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin is a Canadian director and artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. Her artistic practice has moved from visual arts to film, immersive cinema, and video art. Her work explores themes related to community, spaces of exchange and cohabitation through sensory and embodied narrative forms that break away from traditional storytelling, often in an anthropological perspective. Combining dance and film, her stories examine how the body, whether individual or collective, interacts with and transforms through the spaces it inhabits.
Her works have been presented in Canada, Europe, and the United States. Her latest work, a virtual reality dance film, “Bodies of Water”, made its World Premiere at the 81st Mostra Venice International Film Festival.
