Their names are Anne-Charlotte, Joohee, Céline, Niyongira and Mathieu. They are 25- to 52-year-old, hailing from Brazil, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, South Korea, or Australia. These five individuals have something in common: they are adopted. Separated from their family and country from childhood, they grew up in French families. Their life stories and home movies tell an intimate, political story about...
Drawing from her experience of motherhood and the unfailing perfection of machines, Natalia Almada envisions, in the form of a dystopian essay, the future of her children in a technological world. Between wonder and dread, the film’s strikingly beautiful images portray a terrifyingly “perfect” society.
Spring has arrived in the streets of Montreal. Little girls bring out their bolos, skipping ropes, elastics, and balls, playing joyfully to the rhythm of delightful rhymes. Freshness, spontaneity, innocence, joy and sorrow—it’s all there, in these little songs. A world that adults will be delighted to return to.
Can a woman fully realize herself while embracing the demands of motherhood? Filmed during an actual pregnancy and based on the journal director Anne Claire Poirier kept during one of her own, this documentary captures the pregnant female body, revealing the emotions and anxieties that accompany this transformative experience.
Evolution and extinction from the point of view of rocks and various future others. The geo-biosphere is introduced as a place of evolutionary possibility, where humans disappear but life endures.
It’s summer in Montreal and everyone is in love… except you. Late at night, on the mountain that overlooks the city, couples lay in the grass and linger in after-hours picnics, bodies move in closer towards one another, glances are exchanged. You roam from gathering to gathering, from budding couple to budding couple, never able to feel this fever, nor to embrace it. You want to feel their wond...
An ethnographic comedy showing people at leisure in the setting of their "sommerhus", a sort of summer residence popular in Denmark. Among the cast: a teenage girl who treads water in an indoor swimming pool, two old sisters bemused by a TV system, some drunken friends indulging in a risky game of darts, a man in underpants hooked on virtual reality and a woman with a nervy Shih Tzu who narrate...
At the dawn of their teenage years, Raphaël and Rémi are twins who see their fusional attachment crumble while one of them, suffering from an increasingly marked disability, remains a prisoner of childhood. During one last summer surrounded by nature, time seems to want to stand still.
On the banks of an abandoned quarry, couples confront their love before taking a dip.
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...
This short documentary follows Québec band Harmonium as they tour California in the mid-’70s, in an effort to promote the province as well as to introduce the group to the world’s biggest music market. Here, we follow the ups and downs of the journey of the band, who came to feel the pulse of Americans and see if culture, their culture, can succeed in crossing borders and impose itself?
An uncompromising look at the ways privacy, safety, convenience and surveillance determine our environment. Shot entirely at night, the film confronts the hermetic nature of white-collar communities, dissecting the fear behind contemporary suburban design. By examining evacuated suburban and corporate landscapes, the film reveals a peculiarly 21st century hollowness… an emptiness born of our co...

_The Illinois Parables_ is an impressionistic portrait of the state of Illinois, sometimes described as a miniature version of the United States, tracing its decidedly eclectic history from the 7th to the 20th century in 11 parables.
