Walls of Memory

About This Movie

Walls of Memory is a 1964 documentary that explores the social history of Québec City. Through a wealth of archival images, it pays tribute to the Seminary of Québec, French Canada's first classical college.

Finding copies of Walls of Memory can be a bit tricky; it wasn't widely released back in the day, so most collectors know it from rare screenings or private collections. The film exists primarily in a few formats, with the VHS versions being the most common, though they don't capture its atmosphere as well as a well-preserved film print. Interest in this title has grown among those who appreciate Canadian history and documentary filmmaking, particularly because it offers a unique perspective that isn't often explored in mainstream cinema.
