SUMMARY:The Eighth Floor
DESCRIPTION:Le huitième étage\, jours de révolte \nDir. Pedro Ruiz\, Canada/Cuba\, 2024\, Spanish & French with English subtitles\, 91 min \nDirector Pedro Ruiz in attendance! \nThe Eighth Floor is a fascinating hybrid cinematographic work mixing autobiography and fiction\, about one of the most singular characters of the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ): Jacques Lanctôt. The FLQ Crisis of October 1970 marked a period of intense political and social upheaval in Quebec\, but the details of Lanctôt and the other members exile in Cuba are not widely known. A loose adaptation of Lanctôt’s memoir Les plages de l’exil (2010)\, the film chronicles Lanctôt’s return to his eighth-floor room in the Hotel Nacional in Havana. Interviews\, re-enactments\, archival footage\, and stories of key intellectual figures of the time\, such as Argentine writer Julio Cortázar\, Uruguayan essayist Eduardo Galeano\, and Chilean filmmaker Miguel Littin\, provide a provocative glimpse into the revolutionary thoughts of the period.
