Professor Norman Cornett: "Since when do we divorce the right answer from an honest answer?" documentary premieres this week in Montreal


Dr. Norman Cornett, one of Montreal's most interesting and intriguing characters, is the subject of Professor Norman Cornett: "Since when do we divorce the right answer from an honest answer?", a new NFB documentary by award-winning filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin that documents Cornett's unorthodox approach to teaching as well as his controversial dismissal from McGill. Passionate and remarkable, Cornett is a Montreal gem.

Professor Norman Cornett: "Since when do we divorce the right answer from an honest answer?" is premiering in Montreal this week (the film is in English but with French subtitles);

Tuesday June 16, 7 pm
Grande bibliothèque 475, boul. De Maisonneuve Est
(Free admission for this screening only)

Wednesday June 17, 8:30 pm
Cinema ONF 1564 St-Denis
Tickets and information: 514 677-1377

Following the film there will be a Q&A with filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin and guests. This should not be missed! I'll be at the Tuesday premiere, Ben Pobjoy

Hey Ben,
I've been curious about the professor ever since you first mentioned him.

Is there somewhere I can read more online?
