Exporail at the cinema
Festivals and events Leisure activities Arts Indoor Around Montreal
What do Pascale Bussières, Roy Dupuis, Julie Le Breton, William Hurt, Lynn Redgrave, Saoirse Ronan and Debbie Lynch-White have in common? They all fimed for the cinema in one of the vehicles preserved at Exporail. The museum’s passenger cars, streetcars, and steam locomotives provide a setting sought after by the film industry. Filmmakers can create the atmosphere of a streetcar running in Montreal or Brooklyn, simulate the departure of a train from Montreal or a city in Europe, or immerse you in the atmosphere of the late 19th century as well as the mid-1950s. Among the films that have been shot at the museum are My Life in Cinemascope, Maurice Richard, Varian’s War, The Words, Brooklyn, La chasse-galerie : La légende and La Bolduc.
