Audio y el Caimán
Audio Caña is a charming grandfather and farmer who spends his days entertaining friends and family with fantastic stories.
Yet when he boldly claims that a 19-foot alligator lives in his pond, no one believes him.
Against the backdrop of the Venezuelan plains, Audio embarks on a quest to hunt the alligator and prove its existence to his friends, with the help of his family and 6-year-old granddaughter.
Bodies of water
BODIES OF WATER invites you to hold your breath and let yourself be transported and transformed by water in the company of curious individuals. As night falls, they take over a public swimming pool. BODIES OF WATER, immersed in the aquatic mass, transgress the limits of their natural environment and metamorphose. They then engage in a contemporary dance that reveals them in a new light.
The Hearing
Having fled the Democratic Republic of Congo, Peggy, Simon and their children seek asylum in Canada at the end of a perilous migratory route.
The film follows the family day by day, through the legal maze of their quest for refugee status.
THESE STREETS WILL NEVER LOOK THE SAME
A car slowly travels the winding streets and radio waves of the United States of America, discerning the scars of capitalism in natural landscapes, urban environments, people and wildlife.
A meditative and complex audiovisual experience, mixed in Dolby Atmos.
Au lendemain de l'Odyssée
After a harrowing journey, women from Nigeria arrive alone and increasingly young in Italy in search of a better life.
From human trafficking to the sexual slavery that awaits them, this choral film offers poignant accounts whose modesty spares us the unbearable.
These stories of welcome lead to a broader reflection on migration and otherness, that true encounter with the Other.
Eviction
Since 2010, Parthenais has been home to an entire queer community.
They are gay, lesbian, trans and live together in the Centre-Sud district in the heart of Montreal, in a triplex that is falling into disrepair.
Between parties that sometimes welcome over two hundred people until the wee hours of the morning, collective suppers, great joys and small despairs, this old apartment has transformed the lives of its tenants.
Twelve years later, the building was bought by a wealthy family who wanted to live there, as gentrification was the order of the day.
It's the end of a mythical space that transformed a decade of Montreal's queer scene.
