Into Eternity
For the magazine's twentieth anniversary this year, a series of screenings has been planned on the double bill principle, with the main focus on a selection of rarely-seen films. Other movies in the program are also important milestones in the development of the critics' dialogue within one of Quebec's most dynamic film magazines.
Every day, all over the world, large amounts of high-level radioactive waste created by nuclear power plants is placed in interim storage. Into Eternity is an epic thriller about the world's first attempt to store nuclear toxin into eternity.
