The Outaouais Film Festival will dedicate its 24e festival to Michel Côté who passed away today.
“The festival immediately set up a special event to mark the death of Michel, we dedicate this edition to him and will project on this occasion CRAZY by Jean-Marc Vallée, in the presence of Pierre Even, the producer of this magnificent film,” said Didier Farré, founder and general manager of the festival, on Monday.
