CINEMA PROGRAM 2 : 5 films by Pierre H\u00e9bert<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salle les-fr\u00e8res-Lemaire | Carr\u00e9 150 | 10$<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program highlights over sixty years of work by Pierre H\u00e9bert, focusing on his practice of direct scratch-on-\ufb01lm animation. It underscores the importance of this major avant-garde \ufb01lmmaker whose radical and formally inventive approach has expanded the possibilities of experimental cinema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY | 1 p.m. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FANFARE POURPOUR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sc\u00e8ne Pierre-Bruneau | Place Ste-Victoire | free<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This legendary 21-piece ensemble has ties in the Victoriaville region, making it a great way to diversify FIMAV programming with their joyous, infectious music in the public space. And, while their music is indeed popular, it is so in the very best, and we think experimental, sense. As a Pourpour member stated recently, \u201cperhaps it\u2019s time to rethink what musique actuelle is!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY | 3 p.m. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

QUEEN MAB 40 ans plus tard<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabaret Guy-Aubert | Carr\u00e9 150 | $25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legendary in the lore of Canadian creative music, this duo celebrates 40 years of exceptional collaboration. Lori Freedman\u2019s rich timbral investigation and unique phraseology intertwine delightfully with Marilyn Lerner\u2019s rhythmic sense and uncanny note-choices. Queen Mab is both living history and new every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY | 5 p.m.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SARAH PAG\u00c9 & NO HAY BANDA Voda<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Centre des Congr\u00e8s | H\u00f4tel le Victorin | $25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voda<\/em> (\u201cwater\u201d in Russian) is Quebecoise composer Sarah Pag\u00e9\u2019s studio recording from 2023, radically expanding her instrumental vocabulary rooted in her experimental harp and electronics playing to suitably, and beautifully, liquid ends. At FIMAV, Pag\u00e9 will premiere Voda<\/em> in a live version with the award-winning Montreal contemporary chamber ensemble, No Hay Banda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY | 6 p.m.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

INFORMAL CONCERT IN THE Q.G.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quartier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral FIMAV | Carr\u00e9 150 | free<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limited capacity; first come first served.Festival passeports do not guarantee access.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit the brand-new FIMAV Quartier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral \u2013\u2013 the Festival Hub \u2013\u2013 in the Studio Monique-Bourgeois, Carr\u00e9 150! There, between afternoon and evening concerts, festival artists will have the time and space to play informal concerts of freely improvised music. Grab a drink, grab a sandwich, and hear FIMAV artists up close in first-time musical encounters, all for free! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY | 8 p.m.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f [AHMED] Play Monk<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salle les-fr\u00e8res-Lemaire | Carr\u00e9 150 | 10$<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f [Ahmed] has made some of the most thrilling music of the last decade, powerfully propulsive group improvisations animating the music and activating the philosophy of an unsung master, Ahmed Abdul-Malik. On their new record, Play Monk<\/em> \u2013\u2013 and at FIMAV \u2013\u2013 they turn to material by Abdul-Malik\u2019s one-time employer, the incomparable Thelonious Monk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY | 10 a.m.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ERIC CHENAUX<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabaret Guy-Aubert | Carr\u00e9 150 | $30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the uncanny combination of his vocal falsetto \u2013 evoking even Betty Carter or Jeanne Lee \u2013 and his kaleidoscopic guitar playing, Eric Chenaux\u2019s songs are drenched in emotion while remaining resolutely experimental. Here he re-joins a kindred colleague from his days based in Toronto, the incomparable singer and multi-instrumentalist, Ryan Driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Artistic Vision 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt FIMAV 42 you can hear world-class artists from Quebec, Canada, and abroad in formal settings with which long-time festival audiences will be familiar. Darius Jones, Pat Thomas, Rafael Toral, Amirtha Kidambi, and Eric Chenaux, for example, have never played FIMAV before. With our additional series of free informal concerts and satellite event, audiences will have different kinds of access to many of them as well. This edition will be \u2018up close and personal\u2019 and we think it will be more festive because of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
