Ciné-club Temps d’écran – Malartic

Ten years after the opening of the enormous Malartic open-air gold mine, the expected economic miracle is nothing more than a mirage. Noting the glaring gap between the decline of the town and the wealth of the mining company, director Nicolas Paquet reveals the workings of an opaque decision-making system where the citizen population has no say. Between anthropological study and investigation into the heart of power, MALARTIC poses the universal question of democratic management of the territory.
