Jacques Godbout

	Jacques Godbout Jacques Godbout, OC, CQ (born November 27, 1933) is a Canadian novelist, essayist, children's writer, journalist, filmmaker and poet. By his own admission a bit of a dabbler (''touche-à-tout''), Godbout has become one of the most important writers of his generation, with a major influence on post-1960 Quebec intellectual life. Biography Born in Montreal, Quebec, after studies at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf and the Université de Montréal, Godbout taught French in Ethiopia before joining the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) as producer and scriptwriter in 1958. He was active during Quebec's Quiet Revolution during which time he wrote a number of penetrating essays, the most important of which were collected in ''Le Réformiste'' (1975) and ''Le Murmure marchand'' (1984). Godbout was a co-founder of ''Liberté'' (1959), the Mouvement laïque de la langue française (1962) and the Union des écrivains Québécois (1977). Godbout's films include four full-length features and mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Traitor Or Patriot ''Traitor or Patriot'' (french: Traître ou patriote) is a Quebec documentary produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) in 2000. It is directed by and starring Jacques Godbout. Its style belongs to the Quebec cinéma direct school of filmmaking. Synopsis It analyzes the place of Quebec Premier Adélard Godbout in history. Godbout is not well-considered by Quebec historians and citizens. Adérald Godbout was the Second World War–era Quebec head of government, and the great-uncle of the director. Godbout advances some theories to explain why his great-uncle was forgotten in the collective memory of the Quebecers. One theory is that Adélard Godbout was more favourable than other political leaders to conscription. Quebec nationalists, at the time, opposed conscription, which they saw as a British imperialist manoeuvre of English Canada to defend the Empire. Production Like other documentaries of his ('' The Black Sheep'', for example), ''Traître ou Patriote'' sh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
