I feel compelled to point out here, of course, that coming to Montreal by no means requires that "the course will be in French" -- there are four universities in Montreal, Concordia University and McGill University being the two English-language institutions that round out the list that Yves Lever starts up above. Both McGill and Concordia have quite good cinema studies programs ... Universite du Quebec a Montreal, by contrast, does not _have_ an undergrad cinema studies program. This might be of interest to a mailing list which is, as far as I can tell, conducted mainly in the English language. Pour ceux qui se debrouillent bien en francais, vous avez plus de choix a considerer, bien entendu... >Montreal is the only city >in North America where you can see films from all over the world: >Chineese, Russian, Latin Americam, Europe, etc., usualy in original >version with subtitles in French or in English. > >And Montreal is a real good city to live... Now, Yves, I love Montreal as much as you do ... but the only city in North America to see films "from all over the world"? I can't help but be somewhat dubious! -- Bram Abramson
