Nouveau Québec is a Canadian drama film, directed by Sarah Fortin and released in 2021.[1] The film stars Christine Beaulieu and Jean-Sébastien Courchesne as Sophie and Mathieu, a couple whose relationship is tested by their differing reactions to being exposed to First Nations culture while visiting the remote northern town of Schefferville, Quebec.[2]

The film premiered in October 2021 at the Festival du nouveau cinéma.[3] It was subsequently screened at the 2021 Whistler Film Festival,[4] where Fortin won both the Alliance of Women Film Journalists's EDA Award for best narrative feature directed by a woman,[5] and the Borsos Competition award for Best Screenplay for a Canadian film.[6]

The film received two Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023, for Best Supporting Performance in a Film (Jean-Luc Kanapé) and Best Cinematography (Vincent Gonneville).
