Add to a movie listLes raquetteurs is a 1958 Direct Cinema documentary film co-directed by Michel Brault and Gilles Groulx. The film explores life in rural Quebec, at a convention of snowshoers in Sherbrooke, Quebec in February 1958. The film is notable for helping to establish the then-nascent French language production unit at the National Film Board of Canada, and more importantly, the development of a uniquely Quebec style of direct cinema.
The film incorporates agile camera work and a largely synchronous soundtrack, uninterrupted by any narration, in keeping with the ethos of direct cinema to avoid any imposed "truth" on events onscreen.

Pour la suite du monde traite de la vie des habitants de l'Isle-aux-Coudres et de leur traditionnelle pêche au « marsouin » (le nom local pour désigner le béluga). Les cinéastes ont amené les personnages du film à reconstituer une véritable chasse au marsouin, abandonnée depuis 1924, en mobilisant toutes les générations. Les évènements qui se déroulent dans le film sont donc à la fois joués (bien que chaque séquence n'est tournée qu'une seule fois) et vécus.

One night he meets Geneviève backstage, only to learn she is now married, and realizes one can be as lonely in a small town as in a big city.
