ELEPHANT: THE MEMORY OF QUEBECOIS CINEMA (VIDEOTRON), by TICKLEBEAR

Photo Sharing and File Hosting at Badongo.com

in case you've missed the news,
it was announced by pierre karl peladeau,
ceo of quebecor,
the launch of
all videotron customers will be able to access,
via the 900,
a new VOD
specializing in quebecois cinema.
in these troubled times
where culture is neglected
& poorly subsidized by our governments,
it is nice to see a private corporation
taking care of what constitute
our cinematic heritage.
an opportunity for people like me
to get [better] acquainted with our local industry,
from various eras.
or an occasion for the fans to indulge
in this bit of culture
that has come to reflect our society
for decades now.
i'm sure to give a try eventually
& must congratulate PKP for this decision.
it is definitely high time
we got something like this,
promoting what's being done here,
rather than constantly being bombarded
by what's being done abroad.
a 5-stars for the initiative!!
