Idle Times
Subscription access
Beginning in the late 19th century, the history of baseball tells the story of the transformation of pastures and mindsets in North America. Slow and repetitive, the game makes ample room for daydreaming and boasting. Full-bodied and mannered, it evokes the vastness of a new continent while also recalling its British origins. Filmed at the Victoria Stadium in Quebec and developed with the colla...

Stand Out of my Sunlight
Subscription access
Joseph is an elderly man living with Diogenes syndrome, a compulsive hoarding disorder that has left his apartment overflowing. For Messaline, who comes to help him clean, it becomes an opportunity to discover him in two ways: through their conversations, and through the objects he has accumulated—layered memories of a life lived in that apartment. This film, about memory, identity, and social ...
Cattle Call
_Cattle Call_ is a high-speed animated documentary about the art of livestock auctioneering. Structured around the mesmerizing talents of 2007 Man-Sask Auctioneer Champion, Tim Dowler, and using a variety of classic and avant-garde animation techniques, filmmakers Maryniuk and Rankin have tried to create images as dazzlingly abstract, absurd and adrenalizing as the incredible language of auctio...
Dog Stories
_Dog Stories_ reveals as much about the people telling the stories as the dogs they are describing. The dog owners are more honest about their feelings about a dog than almost any other aspect of their lives, and in the process they reveal a lot about themselves.
Keeping Mum
Subscription access
With this film, Émilie attempts to understand the mystery of her universe: her mother Meaud.

The film invites the audience to dive into an intimate odyssey, an intergalactic journey through the psyche.
Maso and Miso Go Boating
The feminist video collective Les Insoumuses dissects and responds point by point in a humorous way to Bernard Pivot's special program with Françoise Giroud, Secretary of State for the Status of Women. "On December 30th 1975, after watching Bernard Pivot's programme on Antenne 2 entitled \*One more day and the year of the woman, phew! It'll be over\*, we felt the immense need to express our p...
Silence radio
A tender and quirky portrait of a rural region, its inhabitants and their regional radio which brings them new energy, along with sweet nostalgia. Or how a radio in the deep French countryside managed by volunteers creates a strong and essential social bond. Not only do they listen, laugh and sing to the tunes they love, they also venture into their past. (C'est un mix de plusieurs affaires..)
Metal and Melancholy
Subscription access
An endless ride from one taxi to another in 1990s Lima. So many people, so few ways to make a living in the country in crisis; each person tries their luck with a car on the verge of collapse. Life itself is there—condensed and somehow enchanted.
The Sunset Special
A secluded beach location, the perfect partner, the most exclusive hotel : it is the life of your dreams. Join an eerie trip to a luxurious place of unfulfilled desire, nostalgia and endless longing. Catch a unique glimpse through the polished facades of a world shaped by abundance and the reality distorting imagery of social media. Caught up in their own fantasies, the main characters wander t...
Baby Drawings
How do we learn to draw? First, we practice holding a crayon without eating it. Then, just a few years later, we’re using sophisticated symbols to represent ourselves, our families, and our imaginations. _Baby Drawings_ covers the development of childhood art from the very first stage of scribbles all the way to the development of spatial perspective.
Jekyllum
Subscription access
Humorously described by its creators as “the first horror film entirely made on a computer”, _Jekyllum_ is a pioneering work of computer animation in Canada. The result of a collaboration between the former Centre de calcul (1965-1988) and Centre audio-visuel (1968-1997) of the Université de Montréal, _Jekyllum_ was first and foremost intended to showcase the graphic possibilities of the CDC170...

The Bronswik Affair
Subscription access
This funny yet serious short film demonstrates the effectiveness of advertising and the marketing machine.
