During the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) invites audiences to the Alanis Obomsawin Theatre to experience CINÉJAZZ-a free program of cinema with music at its heart, from June 26 through July 4 at 3 p.m.
Located in the NFB's Îlot Balmoral headquarters, just steps from Place des Festivals-the festival's main outdoor site in the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles-these screenings offer filmgoers an opportunity to explore the cultural forces behind jazz on screen and beyond, with a lineup of acclaimed music documentaries alongside a landmark of Quebec cinema.
The MJSTP Films/NFB co-produced short film Oscar, Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre's touching portrait of Montreal jazz legend Oscar Peterson, will be presented before each feature.
