LIVE BROADCAST FROM THE WORLD FILM FESTIVAL INTERNET SITE
The Web broadcast of the film Home has been a great success, and The Montreal World Film festival would like to thank all of the people who made this worldwide premiere possible:
- Phyllis Katrapani, the director and producer of Home, for having offered us such a poetic and strong movie which encourages us, just like the characters in her film, to search our �home�;
- the producer, Jeannine Gagn�, for having recognized the power of the Web as a far-reaching medium;
- Anthony De Cotiis from Telus, who offered us the bandwidth for the broadcasting of the film;
- Glenn Bulycz and his team from Apple in Cupertino (California) for the digitizing of the film and
- Pierre Moisan from Apple Canada, for the technical support and the computer services.
- At last, the team of VDL2, who originally had the idea for this fabulous project. We would especially like to thank all the viewers who, on August 27th at 7 PM, logged on to take part in this technological premiere!

Panorama Canada
2002 / 35 mm / Colour / 70 min
Mixing fiction and documentary, this film offers a poetic and philosophical reflection on the notion of "home" in our imagination. What exactly is a "home", that unspoiled paradise, that land of eternal childhood, that land of a bygone time? How can we find the "home" that belongs only to "us"? Fictional documentary, documented fiction, real or imagined country -- various characters journey back into memory and encounter one another through words. Faces of six men and six women who recount their personal stories to the camera, individual voices telling a unique, scarcely invented story, describing a single country, with a single name, but with widely different meanings.
