ABSTRACT: This article traces developments around the early twenty-first-century national film movement known as the Renouveau du cinéma québécois , or Québec New Wave, focusing on two of its representative filmmakers, Maxime Giroux and Myriam Verreault. With specific attention to their treatment of time and space, it investigates and contrasts the thematic concerns and approaches these filmmakers have more recently adopted in relation to their debut features. It thus elucidates the underlying continuities of modernity/coloniality in this context as well as divergent settler responses to entrenched assumptions about nationhood, Indigeneity, and cultural difference.
