From the Archives of Video Populaire
The four founders of a video production centre that started up in the 1970s share their experiences in this fictional 'oral history.' The founders are joined by dozens of artists who recount their impressions of Vidéo Populaire, based in Montreal. A moving engagement with the question of what makes a his/story, the reminiscences found in From the Archives of Vidéo Populaire create a contradictory and sometimes terrifically funny archive of people, their affairs and the events that beset them.

Disclaimer - the author is my sister!
I thoroughly enjoyed this literary fictional memoir of the founding of a video collective in Montreal. It closely parallels the work my sister has done for years (she is an independent video curator and film maker).
The characters are interesting and fully realized, even the secondary characters. I found it to be a really interesting look at collective memory, faulty nostalgia, and the wisdom that says :everyone holds a piece of the truth"

It's every Ontarian's suspicions confirmed.
