  • The history of cinema in Quebec started on June 27, 1896 when the Frenchman inaugurated the first movie projection in North America in a Montreal theatre room. However, it would have to wait until the 1960s before a genuine Quebec cinema industry would emerge. Approximately 620 feature-length films have been produced, or partially produced by the Quebec film industry since 1943. Due to language and cultural differences between the predominantly francophone population of Quebec and the predominantly anglophone population of the rest of Canada, Quebec's film industry is commonly regarded as a distinct entity from its English Canadian counterpart. In addition to participating in Canada's national Genie Awards, the Quebec film industry also maintains its own awards ceremony, the Prix Iris (formerly known as Jutra). In addition, the popularity of homegrown French language films among Quebec audiences, as opposed to English Canadians' preference for Hollywood films, means that Quebec films are often more successful at the box office than English Canadian films — in fact, the top-grossing Canadian film of the year is often a French language film from Quebec.

  • Au Québec, la production cinématographique et vidéo et sa diffusion reposent sur des sources de financement publiques et privées. À l’image de la société québécoise, le contenu qui y est créé est, en grande partie, d’expression française, tout en demeurant attaché à la culture nord-américaine. Le Québec possède le second cinéma francophone par l’importance du nombre de productions après le cinéma français. En 2009, on comptait 25,3 millions d'entrées dans les cinémas et ciné-parcs de la province. Les films québécois représentaient 13 % des ventes. Le Prix Albert-Tessier est la plus haute décoration pour l’ensemble de la carrière d’un artiste québécois du cinéma. Depuis 1999, le Gala Québec Cinéma récompense les œuvres et les personnalités de l’industrie cinématographique québécoise. (fr)
