The National Arts Centre screened a premier of Gabrielle on Tuesday for parliamentarians, media and maybe even some in the GR world. A few big names were in attendance: The director of Gabrielle, Louise Archambault; the event’s host, Heritage Minister Shelly Glover; and some of the films’ actors, including Alexandre Landry (Martin) and Melissa Desormeaux-Poulin (Sophie).

Louise Archambault’s Gabrielle has been submitted as Canada’s candidate for best foreign film at this year’s Oscars.
