The Day To Come Is A Bright New Day

At the Corvette Express and the Nouveau Canada Hot-Dog, two timeless diners in Montréal, the scent of coffee fills the air as customers talk, laugh, and fall silent. Filmed on Super 8, Jean-Baptiste Mees observes these small worlds with tenderness. The Day To Come Is A Bright New Day celebrates working-class spaces where everyday life carries meaning, preserving fleeting moments of connection and belonging.

The film is screened during our special event QUÉBEC LIVES : FRAGMENTS, MEMORIES
