Taguchi, a young computer analyst, is found hanging dead in his apartment. Totally shocked, his colleagues try to find the reason for his inexplicable suicide. One clue indicates the beginning of the enigma ¿ mysterious evidence left by the victim that is contained on a simple computer floppy disc.

Small groups of young people get together and try to resist as the disappearances multiply.

Georges Franju | 1960 | France, Italy | 90 min | French
At his secluded chateau in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter's disfigured countenance-at a horrifying price. Eyes Without a Face, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here-of terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty-that once seen are never forgotten.

Matthieu Brouillard | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 45 min | French
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.

November 2021. 26 royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the present-day Republic of Benin.

Tulsi Ramsay, Shyam Ramsay | 1994 | India | 132 min | Hindi with English subtitles
Are you ready for Freddy? Out of all the Bollywood horror films that were inspired by the worldwide phenomenon of Wes Craven's A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, MAHAKAAL is the most brazenly outrageous. The film-directed by Shyam Ramsay & Tulsi Ramsay of the legendary Ramsay family-finds Anita and her friends battling Shakaal, a horrifically disfigured dream-stalker with a razor-clawed glove. A mind-altering cocktail of elements from A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1-5, DAY OF THE DEAD, and THE TERMINATOR, MAHAKAAL is awash with Argento-esque neon, elaborate effects, and joyous musical segments. Newly restored and never before available in North American theaters!

During the 'Grande noirceur' in Québec, Michel Paquette, 12 years old and suffering from polio, skips Sunday mass to read poetry at the publishing house St-Amour et fille. His old friend, Archange St-Amour, who is struggling with Parkinson's, needs Michel to help him type Vive le Québec Laïque, an anti-clerical pamphlet. The pamphlet outrages the clergy. The Church's vengeance is nothing compared to that of Michel and his friends. These young people defy the clerical order and risk everything in their quest for a secular and egalitarian Quebec.

Nicola Zavaglia | 1978 | Québec (Canada) | 58 min | French, Italian with English subtitles
Eventhough this document contains some melancholic aspects, it is nevertheless very positive in its presentation of people who, through some very simple activities, manage to maintain a creativity necessary for their survival in a land that for many will always be a foreign one. In this context the making of wine or the planting of a garden transcends its utilitarian purpose to become in itself an act of poetry, a poetry not confined to an academic or official definition, but something alive and present in the daily effort for the spiritual survival, not only of the immigrant but everyone else. The poems in the film are by Vincenzo Albanese and the film is in its whole a « naive » poem. A series of scenes that want to portray in a more intimate way the condition of the immigrant. (Festival du nouveau cinéma, 1978)

Andrea Arnold | 2024 | United Kingdom, United States, France, Germany | 119 min | English with French subtitles
For her first feature film since AMERICAN HONEY (2016), Andrea Arnold offers us her unique take on British-style social realism, infusing it with a surprising amount of wonder. Eccentric and, in the end deeply moving, we follow twelve-year-old Bailey (Nykiya Adams, a formidable revelation) living in a squat with her young father Bug (Barry Keoghan), the king of hustle. Independent and rebellious, she roams the streets and fields and meets the enigmatic Bird, whose initiatory quest she will embrace. To this wholly magical character, Franz Rogowski brings his talents as a dancer and choreographer, with his distinctive way of inhabiting space. Visually splendid and emotionally rich, deeply empathetic and full of genuine hope, BIRD is completely mesmerizing.

Podcast listening session | Gabrielle Thouin | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 68 min | French
If you think of 'two people making love', what image comes to mind? Many people who are willing to verbalise their thoughts will describe a scene where a man and a woman are engaged in a specific sexual activity: vaginal penetration by the penis. In our collective imagination, these very gentle and poetic terms are associated with this sexual practice. Gabrielle wonders why so much importance is attached to penetration in sexual relations. What invisible threads does this representation of sexuality weave in our minds? And what about those people who can't or won't 'make love'... like her? By following her in her hope to find answers to these questions, Contre toute attente is a breach between the territories of codes of conduct and those where we leave room for the sounds of our echoes. Listening sessions of episodes 1 and 2, followed by a discussion with the director and the sound and music designer.

Satyajit Ray | 1955 | India | 110 min | Bengali with French subtitles
With the release in 1955 of Satyajit Ray's debut, Pather Panchali, an eloquent and important new cinematic voice made itself heard all over the world. A depiction of rural Bengali life in a style inspired by Italian neorealism, this naturalistic but poetic evocation of a number of years in the life of a family introduces us to both little Apu and, just as essentially, the women who will help shape him: his independent older sister, Durga; his harried mother, Sarbajaya, who, with her husband away, must hold the family together; and his kindly and mischievous elderly "auntie," Indir-vivid, multifaceted characters all. With resplendent photography informed by its young protagonist's perpetual sense of discovery, PATHER PANCHALI, which won an award for Best Human Document at the Cannes Film Festival, is an immersive cinematic experience and a film of elemental power.

Philippe Ducros | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 77 min | French, Innu-aimun, English with French subtitles
LA CARTOMANCIE DU TERRITOIRE tells the story of an overworked French-speaking Quebecer, like many others in our time. He sets off on a road trip to some of Quebec's First Nations communities in search of meaning, healing and another way of reading the world. He tries to understand the ravages of colonialism perpetrated on these nations by a system that still favors it. He seeks to see what has been done in his name, with the intuition that through these people, he will better understand his own distress. His journey takes him as far as the prison system, where the over-representation of First Nations people is symptomatic of the traumas these communities have inherited, and of the systemic racism that persists.

Félix Rose | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 108 min | French
An unprecedented language crisis unfolded in the heart of the town of Saint-Leonard in 1968-1969. French-speaking parents demanded French-only schools, while members of the Italian community wanted to preserve bilingual schools. The conflict spread throughout Québec, creating enormous tensions that degenerated into violence and culminated in a bloody riot. LA BATAILLE DE SAINT-LÉONARD tells the story of Raymond Lemieux and Mario Barone, two remarkable yet forgotten men of modest origins, who each fought with strength and conviction, despite the heavy consequences to themselves, their families, and their professional lives. Their struggle changed the destiny of Québec and led to the adoption of the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101).

Céline Sciamma | 2019 | France | 119 min | French
Passion brews quietly between an artist and her subject, until together they create a space in which it can briefly flourish, in this sumptuous eighteenth-century romance from Céline Sciamma, one of contemporary French cinema's most acclaimed auteurs. Summoned to an isolated seaside estate on a secret assignment, Marianne (Noémie Merlant) must find a way to paint a wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), who is resisting chattel marriage, by furtively observing her. What unfolds in exquisite tension is an exchange of sustained gazes in which the two women come to know each other's gestures, expressions, and bodies with rapturous intimacy, ultimately forging a subversive creative collaboration as well as a delirious romance. Charged with a yearning that almost transcends time and space, Portrait of a Lady on Fire mines the emotional and artistic possibilities that emerge when women can freely live together and see one another in a world without men.
