La conception de l’image 2017 a été confiée à l’artiste de renommée internationale René Derouin. Dotée d’une poésie visuelle propre à l’artiste, cette œuvre magnifique, La sirène originale du cinéma 2017, a été adaptée en affiche. Malgré une année très occupée, M. Derouin tenait à concrétiser ce projet artistique : « C’est un beau défi que j’ai assumé avec grand plaisir, pour l’admiration que j’éprouve envers ce festival, ses fondateurs et sa longévité de 36 ans. […] C’était un projet qui me tenait vraiment à cœur. » En quête d’inspiration, l’artiste découvre une aquarelle du peintre allemand Albrecht Durer datée de 1513. « Cette aquarelle, trouvée par hasard, me fascinait – une muse, une sirène, un panache d’orignal – j’avais là tout l’imaginaire de la création du cinéma et du Festival international de Rouyn-N9oranda », soutient l’artiste. « Il ne me restait qu’à réaliser une œuvre de papier collé, papier troué, une œuvre d’art. Voilà le genre d’engagement que j’aime envers le public du Festival et les admirateurs du cinéma national et international », termine René Derouin, qui n’a signé qu’une seule autre affiche de festival, celle du premier Festival de jazz de Montréal.

Depuis plus de 50 ans, René Derouin, artiste multidisciplinaire, poursuit son œuvre unique où les notions d’identité et de territoire s’inscrivent dans une perspective globale des Amériques. Ses nombreux voyages et séjours à l’étranger ont été des sources essentielles d’inspiration dans le développement de cette vision singulière, orientée sur l’axe nord-sud. En quête de ses racines, Derouin creuse l’idée d’américanité. Il se plonge ainsi au cœur des mémoires culturelles et territoriales, abordant les questions de migration et de métissage à la lumière des époques traversées. Il en ressort une démarche exemplaire, éminemment actuelle, elle-même métisse et baroque, qui s’exprime aussi bien dans la gravure que dans le dessin, la sculpture et ou les installations.

Apprécié sur plusieurs continents, le travail de René Drouin obtient une large diffusion au Québec, au Canada et à l’étranger, plus spécifiquement au Mexique, où il a reçu les plus grands honneurs du gouvernement mexicain. Ses œuvres ont également été exposées en France, aux États-Unis, au Venezuela, en Australie et au Japon. Parmi les prix et distinctions qu’il a reçus, soulignons qu’il est membre de l’Ordre mexicain de l’Aigle aztèque et Compagnon des arts et des lettres du Québec, titre décerné par le CALQ.

Arbitres

Arbitrer demeure l’un des rôles les plus ingrats dans le monde du sport. Derrière des hommes, des femmes, des adolescents aux chandails zébrés se cachent des êtres humains ébranlés et ébranlables. Vos fils, vos filles, vos frères, vos oncles, qui n’ont pas le droit à un minimum de respect et de dignité.

Afin de cerner ce phénomène préoccupant, Réverbères Médias et le journaliste Mathias Brunet suivront un jeune arbitre de 17 ans muni d’un micro et d’une caméra dans toutes les étapes de ses fonctions : du début à la fin de la saison de hockey mineur à Candiac. Il sera épaulé et parfois réconforté par l’ancien arbitre de la LNH et responsable des arbitres chez Hockey Québec, Stéphane Auger.

Au final, divers intervenants seront appelés à témoigner dans le film: d’anciens arbitres professionnels de la LNH et du hockey mineur, des parents, des entraineurs, des psychologues, dans un document télévisuel qui ne manquera pas de relief.
