PALM Festival

THE FESTIVAL

The fly fishing film festival

 

 

In its annual Quebec tour, the Fly Fishing Film Festival (PALM) features short films made in Quebec.

The Festival offers salmon anglers the opportunity to create a film of 5 to 20 minutes or a Reel of less than one minute to be part of one of the two official selections of the festival. Among all the films submitted, those selected will be part of the official selection and their short film will be shown during the Festival tour throughout Quebec. The public and the jury, composed of videographers and important actors in the world of salmon, vote for the winners who share prizes worth $15,000 (short film) and $1,500 (Reel). The winners are announced at the grand finale in Quebec City.

Through their work, the filmmakers share about their passion, their way of life and the culture related to fly fishing. The PALM Festival is also an opportunity for fishing, nature and film enthusiasts to meet and discuss with various organizations working in the field.

We organize the festival in collaboration with 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.
