DESCRIPTION:Our member and axis director Anouk Bélanger\, along with her co
 lleague Martin Lussier (UQAM) and their UQAM research team (Hélène Legault
  (PhD)\, Lucile Ouriou (PhD)\, Léa Desbiens (Maîtrise)\, Catherine Lauzon 
 (Maîtrise)\, present the preliminary results of a project (SSHRC Insight -
  2020-25) on 'off' festivals in Montreal.\n\nMontréal's reputation as a fe
 stival city is well established. The city has been hosting large-scale int
 ernational festivals since the late 1980s. The creation of the Quartier de
 s spectacles (2003-2008) has made it possible to take advantage of a conce
 ntration of infrastructure and extend the festival season to a sustained a
 nd diversified annual calendar. As part of this trend\, so-called 'off' fe
 stivals have emerged. Off Jazz was the first (1999)\, followed by OffTA\, 
 Zoofest (or Off Just for Laughs) and others. Today\, many festivals includ
 e an 'off' component in their programming. What does this 'off' express? W
 hat do these 'off' events bring to festival culture? How are they position
 ed in Montréal's cultural life? What are their spaces and modes of governa
 nce? How do they relate to local scenes?\n\nThe subsequent discussion will
  be moderated by Nathalie Boucher\, of the R.Es.P.I.R.E. organization. Ple
 ase note that this event is in French.\n\nThe conference is free and open 
 to all! Bagels and cream cheese will be served.\n
