Those Who Come Will Hear - Listening to Quebec’s fading indigenous tongues before silence falls

This doc proposes an intimate encounter with the speakers of Quebec’s indigenous languages—voices often overlooked in the province’s cultural landscape. Beginning with attentive listening to their daily lives, the film unfolds into a journey through memory, sound, and survival.

By combining lived testimony with an exploration and creation of archives, it highlights both the musicality of these languages and their profound cultural and human significance. More than documentation, the film becomes a reflection on what it means to lose a language: the vanishing of knowledge, identity, and belonging.

At a time when linguistic diversity faces growing threats, this work insists on the urgency of preservation while celebrating the living voices that still resonate.
