Cinema • Drama
Victor Erice / 2023 / Spain, Argentina / 169 min / Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Chinese with French subtitles

 

Set in contemporary Madrid, an aging filmmaker named Miguel Garay is called upon to recount his memories of working on his final and still unfinished film, "The Farewell Gaze." During its production, the lead actor and Miguel's close friend, Julio Arenas, disappeared without a trace, leaving in his wake a mystery that would haunt the lives of everyone associated with the film. Miguel never directed another project, instead living a quiet life as a writer by the coast. He remained reluctant to unravel the mystery surrounding Julio until approached by an investigative television program reviving the case decades later. With careful reflection, he reconnects with the film's crew, former lovers, and Julio's daughter, seeking closure for the disappearance and what it meant for all of their lives.

Over three decades after the release of his previous film, revered Spanish auteur Víctor Erice (The Spirit of the Beehive, El Sur, and Dream of Light) returns with a "poignant cinematic swan song" (The Hollywood Reporter). A reflective culmination of Erice's career in film, Close Your Eyes is a haunting meditation on memory, absence, and the enduring resonance of the moving image.

Pierre Falardeau | 2001 | Québec (Canada) | 115 min | French, English, Latin

 

In the aftermath of the Quebec patriots' uprising in 1837, eight hundred of them were locked up in the Montreal prison. Among them were around a hundred condemned to death. In the early hours of 14 February 1839, Marie-Thomas Delorimier, Charles Hindelang and three of their companions learn that they are to be hanged the next day. The film recounts the last twenty-four hours of the two men's lives. Their doubts, their fears, their hopes. Caught up in a pitiless machine, they face death. Their death. It is their only certainty. As in the Passion, the two men walk towards death and face their tragic destiny.

Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation, SUGARCANE illuminates the heartbreak and beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to survive.

Pierre Falardeau, Julien Poulin | 1978 | Québec (Canada) | 96 min | French

 

Pea Soup, by Pierre Falardeau and Julien Poulin, is an ethnographic video on the Québécois tribe. The film is a collage, a puzzle, even, where interlocking images and sounds draw the portrait of a nation. Photographic images, text, and scenes shot in various locations such as factories, create a fragmented and virulent critique of Québec's social and cultural differences.

Maurane, Billy Pedlow / 2024 / Québec (Canada), United States / English

 

Me and My Victim screenings will be preceded by the short film Les corps aqueux, winner of Best Art Film at the 5th edition of Montreal's Festival Emergence.

ME AND MY VICTIM recounts the "kind of fucked up" meeting between Maurane and Billy Pedlow. She lives in Montreal, he lives in New York. She's a multimedia artist specializing in video art and he's a poet. Not quite friends and not quite lovers, their meeting feels palpably contemporary in its defiance of labels and firm boundaries. Structured around an off-the-cuff audio recording and built as a kind of Tumblr-esque collage, the film explores, with brutal and paradoxical honesty, the complexity of sex and desire.

Germán Gutiérrez, Carmen Garcia | 2010 | Québec (Canada) | 86 min | French

 

Voluble. Passionate. Brilliant. In his uncompromising quest for liberty, Pierre Falardeau was a voice heard above most others. An open mind, brimming with ideas. A man who stood for a cause greater than any other: the independence of his homeland. But also a man often blindsided by his own rage, capable of causing harm. With obvious admiration, Germán Gutierrez and Carmen Garcia offer this tribute to a formidable man and moviemaker, who died at age 62 on September 25, 2009. Looking back on his career with the help of those who knew him best, most notably his wife, Pierre Falardeau is packed with archival footage and film excerpts. The film offers a portrait of a uniquely complex individual, equally at ease with political scandal as a song by Jacques Brel.

Caught up in the implacable logic of events, carried away by the weight of things, one by one they face their destiny. They decide. Alone. Together.

Seated in his kitchen, Quebec novelist Gaétan Soucy, who died in 2013, recounts the circumstances and intimate dramas that led him to write. In parallel, unusual scenes unfold: a man records his thoughts about a missing friend, two "madmen" engage in a curious duel in the common room of a decrepit hospital... Little by little, these seemingly unrelated worlds converge to form a baroque, maze-like picture that dissolves the boundaries between reality and fiction. A film in the form of a eulogy, offering a meditation on grief, legacy, friendship, and artistic creation.
