How to Save a Dead Friend
At sixteen, Marusya is determined to end her life, like many other Russian teenagers. Then, she meets her soulmate.

How to Disappear
_How to Disappear_ is an anti-war movie in the true sense of the word, searching for possibilities for peace in the most unlikely place of an online war game, _Battlefield V_. It’s a tribute to disobedience and desertion - in both digital and physical-real warfare.

Judy Versus Capitalism

Since the 1970s, Judy Rebick has been the face of feminist struggles in Canada. For Mike Hoolboom, she's more a "living archive" of activism and struggles for the rights of all minorities, as well as an exceptional woman who has defied her own traumas all her life. Their privileged relationship gave birth to this film, a creative hybrid between documentary and experiment. A colossal work of arc...

La voix des rivières
Rodrigue Jean gives voice to people who have nearly drowned. The story of their disaster and the lessons they have drawn from it make us think that life is born of water and flows somewhat like a river. We are born in a state something like a spring. This spring becomes a stream, we travel through forests, winding our way around obstacles to finally arrive at the river where our water merges wi...

September Five at Saint-Henri
This short film is a series of vignettes of life in Saint-Henri, a Montreal working-class district, on the first day of school. From dawn to midnight, we take in the neighbourhood’s pulse: a mother fussing over children, a father's enforced idleness, teenage boys clowning, young lovers dallying - the unposed quality of daily life.
The Golden Buttons
“Everyone can accomplish a heroic act in their life”, says the instructor. But such a destiny is prepared for volunteer teenagers in the presidential school of cadets that trains them to serve in the National Guard created by Putin in 2016. Alex Evstigneev captures these future heroes and reveals their extreme fragility on the verge of indoctrination with sound and images.
You Take Care Now
"Fleming's perilous travelogue recites, in first person voice-over, a tale of two cities. The first is Brindisi, where the patent sexism of her surroundings lead her to seek refuge in her unscrupulous tour guide's hotel room. The second moves closer to home, where the simplest of street crossings becomes a nightmare journey of dark collisions, broken bones and ambulance drives.”— Mike Hoolboom
L'aimée
Arnaud Desplechin films his father who has just sold the family house. Its emptying creates an opportunity to open drawers, browse old photos, and read ancient letters. His father chooses this moment to speak of his own mother Thérèse, who passed away when he was 18 months old. He has no memory of her, and yet he seems to know her very well.
