Ciné-club Temps d’écran – La meilleure façon c’est par accident

Following the death of her adoptive father, a young filmmaker dives back into her video archives, only to realize that she never filmed him—except for one time, by accident. Now, on the brink of the end of the world, she makes a point of capturing the extraordinary within the ordinary—things that are also destined to disappear.

About the filmmaker
Noémie D. Leclerc is a filmmaker, author, and multidisciplinary artist from Quebec. In 2018, at the age of 21, she published her first novel, *Darlène*, with the publisher Québec Amérique. The project—which included accompanying visuals and a soundtrack created by singer-songwriter Hubert Lenoir—continues to influence a new generation of local artists. Her early work in visual media within the alternative music scene helped her develop a unique, modern style, one that also resonates with the Quebec tradition of *cinéma direct* (direct cinema). *La meilleure façon, c’est par accident* (The Best Way Is by Accident) is her first film.
