PALM Festival

In its annual tour of Quebec, the Festival de film de pêche à la mouche (PALM) showcases Quebec filmmakers.

The PALM festival offers the public the opportunity to view the short films and reels selected by the jury, made up of videographers and key players in the world of salmon. During the tour, the public and jury vote for the winners, who share prizes worth over $16,000. Winners are announced at the grand finale in Quebec City.

Through their work, the videographers convey their passion, their way of life and the culture associated with fly fishing. The PALM Festival is also an opportunity for fishing, nature and film enthusiasts to meet and talk with various organizations working in the field.

The evenings also feature exclusive film screenings from Hooké.

LOUIS CHAMPAGNE, HOST OF THE PALM FESTIVAL

For more than a quarter of a century, Louis Champagne's track record has been impressive in its diversity. This actor with an imposing physique has worked as much in television as in film, in comedy and in theater, while also wearing the hats of director, writer and scriptwriter.

You have also seen him in the entourage of the FQSA for the past few years. Indeed, Louis has been an avid fly fisherman and salmon fisherman for almost 20 years and he shares his passion on many of Saumon Québec's projects.

In the last few years, you have been able to meet him at several PALM Festival events, at the Saumon Québec Podcasts or at the Fondation Saumon's events.

For the 2024 edition of the PALM Festival, Louis will accompany the participants on your screens and during the evenings in person. We are very happy to continue this association between Saumon Quebec and Louis Champagne. He will share with you his great passion for rivers and their king, our salmo salar.
