The goal of the festival is to promote the Cinema of Quebec and its makers in order to support its culture and stimulate its industry. It occurs in February, formerly coinciding with the ceremony awarding the Prix Jutra. Although it serves as the premiere venue for some films, it also provides a repeat screening for many films that were already released in the previous year, in order to ensure that the festival and its awards are presenting a thorough and representative portrait of the province's film industry.

Two editions are offered, one in Montreal and the other one in Quebec City. In Montreal, the event takes place at the Cinémathèque québécoise, the NFB Cinema and Cinéma Beaubien.[2] In Quebec City, the Musée de la civilisation accommodates the festival.[3]

In 2018, the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois (RVCQ) changed its name for the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma (RVQC), in order to confirm its affiliation with the Québec Cinéma organization, while keeping the same purpose.[4]

gollark: Anyway, that downloads CCEmuX, puts a potatOs installer into its data folder, and executes it.
gollark: I don't think that even needs ctypes.
gollark: Anyway. That obfuscated Python script should install it in CCEmuX.
gollark: They probably wouldn't like it be since I have no version control.
