Four art collectors from different backgrounds, with complementary points of view, participate in events and projects for the community. They share their works, their knowledge, their passion and their reflections on art. They demonstrate their commitment to artists and the art world. Their social role is as discreet as it is important. The film is made up of moments of reflection, action and contemplation.

Anne-Marie Tougas

A graduate of the Université de Montréal in landscape architecture, Anne-Marie Tougas is a Montreal-based filmmaker. Producer, director and cinematographer, she is interested in universal human values and themes that are both meaningful and questioning, and in the role of art in our lives. Her film Raymond Klibansky de la philosophie à la vie was a prizewinner at the 20th International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA), and it was widely shown around the world. Her film L’espace que j’ai vu…un portrait de pierre thibault, 2007, winner of the audience award at the Rencontres cinéma — architecture in Annecy and widely distributed in France, was in official competition at the 25th FIFA. Vivre avec l’art …un art de vivre was the opening film of the 28th FIFA. Artistic creation and expression are an integral part of Anne-Marie Tougas’ approach. All her feature-length films on art have been in competition at the International Festival of Films on Art and screened both locally and internationally. Since 2020, the filmmaker has been experimenting with the cinematographic transposition of living poetry in situ, in the form of short films. Eau Vive, in competition at the FIFA, was selected for a special screening at the Centre culturel canadien in Paris.
