Activist Québec Festival takes root in France
The festival's arrival in France is the first time an infringement has appeared on European shores.
Bordeaux , France will be celebrating its first-ever infringement festival from October 11th – 14th. According to Bordeaux organizer Cynthia Brésolin "we think it's becoming more necessary to revisit the question of activism here in France. The recent political changes have made us more activist, and that is why the idea of a « Canadian infringement » is interesting. In addition to a new way of doing things, it offers a real fresh and dynamic approach to questions that won't go away."
The infringement festival was born in Montréal in 2004 as a grassroots alternative to the corporatized "Fringe" Festival, and as an artistic movement to protest the commodification of culture. The festival has since spread to Ottawa, Toronto, Regina, Buffalo, and New York City.
The festival's arrival in France is the first time an infringement has appeared on European shores. This is significant according to festival founder Donovan King "because Québec and France have a very special relationship. Our nations have strong cultural ties, and artistic cross-pollination is an important part of our association. Now on the 400 th anniversary of Québec, it is our pleasure to give France the gift of the infringement festival".
Now, with plans already underway for the 5th anniversary of the infringement Festival in Montreal (June 2008) all eyes turn to the artist and activists in Bordeaux as they join the infringement and reclaim their culture.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une
Politique éditoriale
, qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.
This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an
Editorial Policy
, which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
