Prayer for a Lost Mitten - Jean-François Lesage

Synopsis
The night is falling. Montreal is under the snow. People line up at the lost and found office of the city’s transit company. They all have lost something, which, upon reflection, becomes the symbol of a deeper loss. Prayer for a Lost Mitten is a creation documentary – at times melancholic, at times festive, always loving – that helps us through the winter.

Amani - Alliah Fafin

Synopsis
In this tale, situated halfway between reality and fantasy, a mysterious narrator tells us the story of Amani, a young boy with a passion for dance. Amani’s innocence and joy open the narrator’s eyes to the humanity he had never really cared about before.
But as the night begins to rumble, Amani’s joy disappears to be replaced by her pain that echoes in the silence of the plain.

While Yoan wants to leave the region to break his loneliness and explore his homosexuality, Gabrielle is torn at the idea of pursuing her studies more than a hundred kilometers from home.

Peacock's Monologues - Matthew Wolkow

Synopsis
Halfway between poetry, ornithology and improvised music, this film is an appointment. A meeting of sorts that begins 6000 km apart between Lisbon and Montreal, and foremost a conversation between two neighbours. The very result of a trip to Portugal for one and faraway reminiscences for the other. An appointment, but one could also say a meeting, an interview, a conversation between two neighbors; one curious about his job and the other, retired. All born from the aftermath of a trip to Portugal by one and memories of the country by the other.
