La Course autour du monde
Le Grand Raid Le Cap Terre de Feu

La Course destination monde is a Canadian reality competition television series, which aired on Télévision de Radio-Canada from 1988 to 1999. The series was a filmmaking competition which sent young emerging filmmakers from Quebec around the world to make short films about their destinations, with prizes awarded at the conclusion of each season to the best films coming out of the competition. [1]

Contents

The series was inspired by the prior French series La Course autour du monde  [ fr ] and Le Grand Raid Le Cap Terre de Feu .

The show premiered in 1988 as La Course des Amériques, sending filmmakers to destinations in North and South America. [2] The second season, La Course Amérique-Afrique, continued to highlight destinations in the Americas as well as opening to destinations in Africa, while the third season, La Course Europe-Asie, centred on destinations in Europe and Asia. From the fourth season onward, the show was titled La Course destination monde, and permitted filmmakers to travel to anywhere in the world.

Many of the participants in the series have gone on to noteworthy careers in Quebec's media and arts industries, although not all as film directors. [3]
