Somber Tides
Subscription access
_Somber Tides_ is a cry from the species, startled into survival against the elements; one last breath before being trampled by the Earth or maybe conversely a battle to wage against winds and tides clutching on before extinction.
The White Guard
Subscription access
The Mexican landscape fades away into ashes and dust, fragmented, defaced and scorched. Behind barbed wirefences, forests, rivers and mountains fall to the hands of private companies. Once transformed, the landscape becomes a separate universe, an incongruous and dangerous area where the new masters and their mercenaries terrorize people into silence. Like other farmers from across the country,...
I Might Be Dead by Tomorrow
Patients arrive in the consultation room every day, broken, sick and scarred by life. In front of them sits a committed person who tries, without false hope, to repair bodies and psyches. At night, when the clinic doors are closed, the street outreach workers take to the streets to extend their support to all those unfortunate women who have chosen the streets as their home.

Where The River Widens
Inspired by the friendship and the work of fishermen, Zack Greenleaf sings the mig'mag culture of his Gesgapegiag village, "where the river widens.”
The Last Herd
Isolated in the remote mountains of the Gaspésie National Park, a last herd of caribou resists defiantly against human encroachment. When the first European settlers arrived on the East Coast of North America in 1534, caribou numbered in the tens of thousands. Today scarcely 100 remain. They are the last survivors. This documentary tells of their plight and the precarious tipping point on which...
My Father's Tools
Taking a cinéma-vérité approach, filmmaker Heather Condo simply documents the art of weaving black ash rib baskets, a tradition handed down from generation to generation. With no voice-over or dialogue, the film focuses on the work of the director's partner, Stephen Jerome, his talent and the attention to detail involved in making these baskets. The result is both a physical and spiritual exper...
The Land of Shipwrecks
Through the eyes of photographer Marius Jomphe, four local historians and several contemporary “stranded men” of Gaspé, _The Land of Shipwrecks_ paint a portrait of this "city at the end of the world" that has preserved its essence through the ages: A place where nature is full of mystery, the sea evokes dizziness, and where shipwreck remains a mode of settlement.
Le commun des mortels
_Le commun des mortels_, which roughly translates to “average guy,” is the story of a life on the edge of the currents of history, which is how most of us live. It’s a life of resourcefulness, symbols, faith and sweat. How did Éverard Leblanc, an uncomplicated man, succeed in traversing an entire century? The narrator recounts his transition from various perspectives: French Canadian to Québéco...
