Don't Forget About Us (Ricordati di Noi)
Broadcast every Sunday, from 1964 to 1994, Teledomenica
was Montreal's first and favourite Italian-language
television program. More than a decade after the final
show aired, past host Giovanni Gargiulo contacts Paul
Tana. He tells the renowned Italian Canadian director
about a lost treasure: hundred of reels of film discarded
in the basement of the program's old office headquarters.
The long-forgotten footage provides a vivid, intimate
record of the life of Montreal's Italian community.
Tana's short film documents how the Cinematique
Quebecoise salvages, catalogues, and preserves this
cinematic treasure.
