Thunderland, as a matter of fact is an audiovisual performance combining soundscapes by musician Frédéric Boisclair with live 16mm projections by filmmaker Charles-André Coderre. The performance focuses on the hydroelectric, aluminum and pulp and paper plants located in Shawinigan, Mauricie. The project's initiator, Frédéric Boisclair, comes from a family of factory workers at these plants. Composed of original material and 16mm archival footage taken from corporate films shot in the region's factories, Thunderland, as a matter of fact examines the various places and materials specific to the Mauricie region's collective industrial imagination. —Charles-André Coderre
