Percé on the Rocks

Directed by Gilles Carle

With Luce Guilbeault, Anne Lauriault and Suzanne Valéry

This quirky little short by Gilles Carle was filmed on the pierced rock that stands near Quebec’s Gaspé peninsula. It is perhaps the most photographed natural phenomenon on Canada’s East Coast. Shot in the 1960s, the film has a very psychedelic feel to it, with animation, special effects, and a trio of women to guide us through.
