Abstract
During his entire life, filmmaker Pierre Falardeau was always noted for his
outspokenness and his intemperate language and therefore he was considered by the
Quebec press a rebel, a loudmouth, an unusual polemicist. In this study, I try to
understand how, in this “Peaceable Kingdom” that is Canada, Pierre Falardeau was a
victim of censorship by “Telefilm Canada”, the federal agency of which he had
repeatedly asked subsidies to produce two of its most committed movies: October and
15 February 1839. Was he the only Quebec filmmaker “censored” by “Telefilm
Canada” or, like him, other Quebecois filmmakers can claim to be victims of the
federal granting agency? According to Pierre Falardeau, whenever Quebecois
filmmakers touch the “nationalist topic” in Canada, various forms of “censorship” are
implemented by the federal granting agencies.
