Into the Light (2020)

The city is a canvas in Cité Mémoire illuminating the world famous projections on the walls of Old Montreal. Historical characters emerge nightly from the bricks and stones, creating visual poetry that has captured over a million spectators from around the globe. Into the Light takes us behind the scenes with the creators, former Cirque du Soleil directors, who show us how the walls whisper to us through cinematic projections. The film explores themes of racism, poverty and the impact of the Covid pandemic.. Joyful heroes like Jackie Robinson and Leonard Cohen's Suzanne are celebrated in 50 metre high projections.
