PARVENIR OU MOURIR À LA COUR DES TUDORS
Vivre ou travailler à la cour d’Henry VIII était pour le moins risqué car tomber en disgrâce équivalait à un séjour à la Tour de Londres pour y être ensuite décapité. Mais rien ne dissuadait les arrivistes, car la chute de l’un entre eux signifiait un poste vacant à pourvoir.
Homecoming, a Sami documentary at TIFF
At this year’s TIFF, Homecoming and A Road to a Village stood out not just for their storytelling, but for the worlds they revealed. From the sacred repatriation of Sámi artifacts to the quiet unraveling of a Nepalese village under the weight of modernization, both films confront the hidden costs of history and progress—and leave us transformed for having witnessed them.
DANIEL BEAUDOIN : L’ARTISTE SENSORIEL
Daniel Beaudoin n’est pas seulement un spécialiste de l’ouïe, il a un don pour le visuel, il sait créer des visages fortement expressifs. On est fascinés par des portraits qui affirment puissance ou infaillibilité, on est aussi émus par d’autres qui expriment une grande sensibilité ou une vulnérabilité touchante.
ARE YOU STILL ON A GREEN ROAD?
Life’s path changes—sometimes gently, sometimes abruptly. What was once vibrant can feel barren, and we may lose our way. But even in uncertainty, life draws us back through purpose and connection. The green road isn’t perfect, but it feels right. It sustains, challenges, and guides us—if we’re willing to trust it. As long as the road is green, we are on the right path.
Rays of Light in the Midst of Darkness
In a time of growing global division, three thoughtful works—Red, White & Royal Blue, Heartstopper, and the opera Omar—offer moving stories that center love, identity, and quiet resilience. Whether through the joy of queer romance or the strength of personal conviction, each reminds us of the power of simply telling one’s story.
