How to face it? What legacy do we leave after we depart? These are the deep questions Montreal author, filmmaker and photographer Gordon Sheppard (the movie "Eliza's Horoscope", or the photographic work "Ha! A self murder history" on Hubert Aquin) asked himself. Affected with a prostate cancer, he passed away in 2006 after 10 years of medical treatment. He accepted that Francine Pelletier interview and film him during his last year of life. Funny and courageous, Sheppard has one hope: that in death he finds the recognition he never enjoyed while living. That death, at last, serves a purpose. In parts an honest portrait and a revisit of the career of an underrated artist, GORDON SHEPPARD OR THE ART OF DYING WELL is at the same time a powerful homage to the power of art and the unsuspected wealth of human nature. <88mn 30s>.Language:English / French / English subtitlesNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
