Surveillent (18m)

It’s another quiet summer day in Park Dufresne. The neighborhood teens loiter about but see a young park monitor arrive. They conclude that it’s this park monitor’s first day of work. Tension rises as the two worlds clash in an unbalanced territorial struggle. In this impressionistic film, the banal day-to-day rituals of a suburban park take on a poetic tone through carefully planned and choreographed takes. Watch Surveillent to see how these two worlds coexist, or if they are even able to do so.

Passage (1hr 21m)

In the movie Passage, Gabrielle and Yoan are 18 years old. Even though they both grew up in Temiscamingue, their aspirations are opposite. While Yoan wants to leave the area to break away from his loneliness and explore his homosexuality, Gabrielle is torn at the thought of going over a hundred kilometers away from home to carry on with her studies. While summer is in full swing, Passage paints a poetic portrait of these two protagonists transitioning into adulthood, trying to blossom and chart their own path.
