Films Include:
PRIERE POUR UNE MITAINE
Jean-Francois Lesage, 2020, 79 min.
Night is falling. It's snowing in Montreal. People line up at the lost property office of the transport company. All have lost an object which, when we dwell on it, becomes the symbol of a deeper loss. Prayer for a Lost Mitt is a creative documentary — at times melancholic, at times festive, always in love — that helps you get through the winter.
AU PLAISIR LES ORDURES
Romain Dumont, 2021, 17 min.
For Christmas, three garbage collectors, Élie, Nino and Belz, are surprised to be received for dinner at the home of the Prime Minister and the First Lady. They go there, enthusiastic and candid, without suspecting that on the menu, they have a painful series of disappointments and manipulations in store for them. Au plaisir les ordures is a dramatic comedy that looks like a revolutionary tale, which tries to explore the encounter between the well-dressed contempt of the political class and a sudden awareness of its people.
BABATOURA
Guillaume Collin, 2021, 11 min.
Benoit and Catherine, a couple in their early thirties, go to his parents' house for supper. It is with surprise and apprehension that they learn that the whole family is invited for dinner and that the evening may not go as planned!
Q&A to follow screening.
