Something Fantastic is about architecture. It is about the future. It is about the environment, energy and politics. It is about beautiful things.

Résumé:
Something Fantastic is about architecture. It is about the future. It is about the environment, energy and politics. It is about beautiful things. It is about being naïve enough to ask the right questions. It isn’t about being hip or calculated, or about posturing. Three young architects, Elena Schuetz, Julian Schubert, and Leonard Streich, lay out a manifesto for increased consciousness in thought and action. Plans and proposals for architecture ranging from the built to the utopian engage this spatial inquiry into the possibilities in the real world.

Résumé:
On associe spontanément Pierre Perrault à l’île aux Coudres ou à l’Abitibi, au Grand Nord ou à l’Acadie, à cause des films qu’il a tournés dans ces régions. Pourtant, cet amoureux du pays du Québec n’en aimait pas moins sa ville natale, Montréal. Dans J’habite une ville, une série d’émissions qu’il a réalisées pour la radio en 1965, il portait sur la métropole le même regard de poète ethnologue qui l’a rendu célèbre par ses films. Daniel Laforest propose ici un montage à partir des textes de cette série radiophonique, où alternent la voix du poète et celle des personnes qu’il a interviewées. C’est un Montréal déjà disparu qui revit dans ces pages : on y croise des laitiers qui font encore la livraison à domicile le matin, des débardeurs qui déchargent les marchandises à la force des bras avec leur crochet, des vieillards qui évoquent la vie de quartier dans leur enfance. C’est aussi le Montréal vibrant et industrieux des ouvriers des abattoirs ou des monteurs d’acier, de tout un peuple de travailleurs qui s’affairent et qui s’agitent par tous les temps, et dont Pierre Perrault recueille la parole modeste et à hauteur d’homme pour la sauvegarder et la magnifier. Et, parmi ces témoins, on a parfois la surprise de rencontrer des gens plus connus, comme Robert Roussil ou Ti-Jean Carignan.
