virtual edition 2022
For a second year, the Festival is going virtual. All indoor presentations have been suspended. But there are advantages to not being able to meet up like we have been doing for several years!
Once you have purchased your ticket, you will be able to watch the films at your own pace and on the device of your choice. Remember! You have 30 days to watch your films. These 30 days start right after the purchase confirmation of your ticket.
Although there are two distinct movie programs available, we recommend that you opt for the BIG ADVENTURE package, which gives you access to 18 movies for a total of just over 4.5 hours of adventure (all movies in the Red and Blue programs).
BEFORE YOU BUY. Make sure your equipment is compatible with the viewing platform of our partner LEPOINTDEVENTE by going here
The films are screened via a video-on-demand platform. This year, we are pleased to announce that we have retained the services of a Quebec company: LEPOINTDEVENTE.COM.
Each program is composed of several short and medium length films. If you choose the program THE GREAT ADVENTURE, you will have access to 18 films with a total duration of a little over 4h30. If you choose one of the simple programs (Red or Blue), you have access to 9 films with a total duration of 132 to 148 minutes.
NEW STARTING MARCH 1, 2022. You have 30 days to watch all the movies! You can stop the movie and resume it at any time you want. You can also watch each movie up to two times (for your personal use).
IMPORTANT. The 30 days viewing period starts immediately after the purchase of your ticket. After that, the films will no longer be available. BEFORE YOU BUY. Make sure your equipment is compatible with the viewing platform of our partner LEPOINTDEVENTE by going HERE

Following the announcement of the Government of Quebec, theaters are closed since December 20, 2021 for an indefinite period. This measure has forced us to suspend the indoor performances planned for the 2022 Tour.
For those of you who have purchased a ticket for one of the originally scheduled performances, you will find below the status of the situation for each venue. Depending on the venue you have a ticket for, you have been offered a transfer to virtual, a postponement to 2023 or a refund.
As of January 20, the vast majority of venues have completed this process with you by phone, email or text. In some cases, a credit has already been applied to your credit card (see your Online Statement).
Below is a list of all cities originally scheduled for the tour and their status as of January 20, 2022.
The festival team thanks you for your patience and understanding. And we hope to see you with us for this virtual edition 2022 which starts on January 20th!

” It’s a personal decision, says Stéphane Corbeil, the tour’s instigator. Am I alone in listening to the films or will there be more than one person in front of the screen?” An advantageous pricing is offered for people who want to be in solidarity with the Quebec tour by opting for the Household option, which takes into account that several people will enjoy the films together in the same house. Please note that this ticket is not intended to be used in a classroom, in a business or in any other public place. Thank you to everyone for staying tuned to this annual event!
Yes, you can stop the movie as many times as you like during viewing and then resume it at your convenience, the same day or at another time. You can also watch each movie up to two times (for your personal use).
No. It is not possible to watch a program on several screens simultaneously. Just as a viewing link cannot be shared with others.
