Par Sue Goyette. 2013
The ocean has never had a biographer quite like Sue Goyette. Living in the port city of Halifax, Goyette’s days…
are bounded by the substantial fact of the North Atlantic, both by its physical presence and by its metaphoric connotations. And like many of life’s overwhelming facts, our awareness of the ocean’s importance and impact waxes and wanes as the ocean sometimes lurks in the background, sometimes imposes itself upon us, yet always, steadily, is.

s'occupe d'écriture et de production de films. Son propre itinéraire le sensibilise à la condition des immigrants, au département des minorités, écartelées entre l'exil et l'espoir. Il poétise, sans nostalgie ni complaisance sur l'espace, le temps et les sables du désert qu'il fait éclater pour ensuite nous en restituer la quintessence. 2014.No man's river

The two canoed and portaged around the lakes and rivers of Manitoba and the then Northwest Territories, and as Charles guided Mowat through the landmarks of the landscape, including spooky gravesites, foaming cataracts, caribou on the move, and a hawk named Windy, Mowat observed Charles' place between the white and native worlds.

our day-lit selves to visit a place where the dream-like and the nightmarish are never far apart.
