Archipelago is a 2021 Canadian animated documentary film, directed by Félix Dufour-Laperrière. A poetic essay film that blends diverse styles of animation, the film is a psychogeographic meditation on the islands in the St. Lawrence River, forming a metaphor for Quebec's status as an "uncertain country" defined by the tensions between its status as a province of Canada and the Québécois people's conception of themselves as a distinct nation.
Archipelago (French: Archipel) is a 2021 Canadian animated documentary film, directed by Félix Dufour-Laperrière. A poetic essay film that blends diverse styles of animation, the film is a psychogeographic meditation on the islands in the St. Lawrence River, forming a metaphor for Quebec's status as an "uncertain country" defined by the tensions between its status as a province of Canada and the Québécois people's conception of themselves as a distinct nation.
The film is narrated principally by Florence Blain Mbaye and Mattis Savard-Verhoeven, with a shorter narration by Joséphine Bacon of one of her own poems in Innu-aimun. The animation team included Malcolm Sutherland, Philip Lockerby, Jens Hahn, and Eva Cvijanović.
