Add to a movie listChercher le courant est un film documentaire québécois, réalisé par Nicolas Boisclair et Alexis de Gheldere, sorti sur les écrans en 2010.
Le film met en scène les deux réalisateurs explorant en canot la Romaine, une rivière québécoise, avant que des barrages hydroélectriques n'y soient construits. Ce "river movie" questionne la pertinence d'un tel projet et fait valoir d'autres solutions sur le plan énergétique, a priori moins destructrices et plus rentables économiquement.
Synopsis
Été 2008. Un an avant le début d’un chantier hydroélectrique de 8 milliards de dollars prévu par Hydro-Québec sur la rivière Romaine, Alexis de Gheldere et Nicolas Boisclair décident de parcourir ce cours d'eau en canot. Le périple de 500 km commence à la source de la Romaine, au Labrador, et doit se terminer à son embouchure, dans le Golfe du Saint-Laurent.Actors

Depuis mai 2001, il était devenu possible au Québec pour des promoteurs privés d'exploiter le potentiel hydroélectrique de certaines chutes sur les rivières. Le film analyse les enjeux d'une telle pratique. Le comédien Gaston Lepage nous transporte sur les sites que certains désirent voir exploiter, mais que d'autres veulent conserver à titre de patrimoine inviolable.

The fourth in Walt Disney's True-Life Adventure series, the 1956 film Secrets of Life features previously rarely-seen film footage of nature's "behind-the-scenes" goings-on that play a huge role in making the planet what it is. From bees to ants and the flora and fauna surrounding us, Secrets of Life reveal a sometimes startling glimpse into nature's wonders that we often take for granted. Accompanied by remarkably appropriate musical selections, viewers find themselves mesmerized by the metamorphosis of air-borne seeds into glorious plants and flowers with the help of time-lapse photography.

The film emulates the 1968 trip made by Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins to Patagonia, but rather than by land, Jeff Johnson travels by sea from Mexico and south along the west coast of Chile. The film opens with original home movie footage as taken by Chouinard and Tompkins, and then continues with Johnson's own footage, in which he includes surfing, sailing and climbing as the film follows Johnson signing on with a small boat heading for Chile, his being delayed for several weeks on Easter Island, his meeting travel partner Makohe, and in his reaching Patagonia, Johnson meeting with Chouinard and Tompkins. The film concludes with his attempt to climb Cerro Corcovado (the Corcovado volcano), an attempt that was halted 200 feet from the summit out of concerns for safety.

Kevin Parent vit sur les rives de la Baie-des-Chaleurs, la terre de ses ancêtres, son havre de paix. Pourtant, sa tranquillité risque d’être troublée par la levée du moratoire québécois sur l’exploitation d’hydrocarbures dans les eaux du Golfe du Saint-Laurent : une porte grande ouverte pour envahir la baie de plateformes pétrolières et gazières. La peur d’une marée noire, des retombées économiques incertaines, des conflits d’intérêts apparents, Kevin Parent s’inquiète de l’avenir de son golfe. Afin de mieux comprendre des enjeux qui souvent le dépassent, il décide de partir à la rencontre des acteurs d’un conflit qui semble inévitable entre gouvernements, pétrolières, premières nations, environnementalistes et simples citoyens. Une version moderne de David et Goliath.

Il y a une dizaine d’années, quelques passionnés ont fait revivre la saliculture en baie de Bourgneuf, jadis célèbre à travers l’Europe pour son “or blanc”. Ces nouveaux paludiers ont défriché et curé les marais à l’abandon pour recommencer à produire le sel de la Baie. Au fil des saisons, nous découvrons Bernard, Daniel et Mano, trois personnalités très différentes qui se retrouvent néanmoins dans l’amour du métier et le respect de la nature.
