Zo Reken - Emanuel Licha

Synopsis
Zo reken (“shark bone”) is the nickname given in Haiti to the Toyota Land Cruiser, a powerful 4×4 vehicle popular among the humanitarian aid organizations that are omnipresent in the country since the 2010 earthquake.
Ten years later, as the country is once more in turmoil and under a strict lockdown, a zo reken has been hacked and transformed into a mobile space for encounters and discussion among Haitians. Foreign aid workers are no longer allowed on board.
The driver leads the conversation with his passengers, all citizens of Port-au-Prince, as he tries to make his way between the barricades and the demonstrations. They talk about the state of the country, about neocolonialism and humanitarian aid, and anger is mounting. They’re angry at the president who lost the people’s confidence, frustrated by the international community that made promises that were never kept, and desperate to see the end of the violence against the most vulnerable.
Zo reken is a road movie and a machine that makes them speak.

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.
