Comedy
aka: My Internship in Canada
Film Synopsis
Steve Guibord is an independent member of the North Quebec parliament.
With his country about to go to war with the Middle East, he finds himself
with the decisive vote that will commit Canada to one course or another.
The Prime Minister, a member of the pro-war lobby, offers Guibord a ministerial
appointment in return for his support for the war, but still he hesitates.
This, he decides, is a matter of conscience, not personal ambition.
Accompanied by a Haitian intern Souverain, Guibord undertakes a private tour
to canvas the opinions of the voting public. It is after all the duty
of an elected politician to listen to those he serves and represents...

Going to War with Guibord
The best of American film noir
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
