NFB - Malartic (2024)

Ten years after an enormous open-pit gold mine began operations in the tiny town of Malartic, Québec, Canada, the hoped-for economic miracle is nothing more than a mirage. Filmmaker Nicolas Paquet explores the glaring contrast between the town's decline and the wealth of the mining company, along with the mechanisms of an opaque decision-making system in which ordinary people have little say. Part anthropological study, part investigation into the corridors of power, Malartic addresses the fundamental issue of sustainable and fair land management.

Malartic is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Nicolas Paquet and released in 2024. The film is a portrait of the small mining town of Malartic, Quebec, centring on the extreme contrast between the wealth generated by Osisko Mining's open-pit mine in the town and the relative underdevelopment of the town and impoverishment of its residents.

It is a sequel to his earlier documentary film The Golden Rule (La Regle d'or), which profiled the upheaval wreaked by the original development of the mine, which required part of the town to be relocated.

The film premiered on February 28, 2024, at the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma. It was subsequently screened at the Festival du cinéma documentaire de Gaspé Vues sur mer, where it won the Prix Caribou, before going into commercial release in April.

Some later screenings were also held as a double feature, alongside The Golden Rule.
