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).

This moving documentary follows Simon and Marianne during their final weeks together. Suffering from incurable brain cancer, writer and college literature teacher Simon Roy has requested medical assistance in dying. Filmmakers Pier-Luc Latulippe and Martin Fournier compose spellbinding vignettes of this couple's daily life in cozy black and white, wrapped in a delicate sound design. From their discussions emerge, with disarming lucidity, their relationship to death, but above all to life and love. Filled with tenderness and at the protagonists' pace, these intimate moments are captured using meticulous still shots with respect devoid of voyeurism. Although confrontational, this luminous film emerges as a celebration of the present moment. (RIDM)

Between documentary and speculation, Hong Kong's past and present are seamlessly put in conversation so as to offer a lucid entry point into the city's present crisis.

Mélanie Carrier, Olivier Higgins / 2024 / Québec (Canada) / 93 min / French

 

As filmmakers who became parents in a North American suburb, we asked ourselves how to explain life to our children. Searching for answers, we grabbed our camera and immersed ourselves for nearly four years in our children's world-a realm where each small act is extraordinary and where each story remains untold. Little Béatrice, with her boundless 3-year-old energy, plunges us into her lively world of make-believe. While her elder brother Émile, now learning to read and write, begins to ask questions like, "Are atoms alive?" Gradually, Émile also shows an interest in his father's camera. Through a mix of observational style and lyrical visuals from a child's point of view, this cinematographic journey prompts us to reflect: What do we lose as we grow up? And what stories of life do we wish to pass down to them?

L'ATHLÈTE nous mène à la rencontre de Stevens Dorcelus, un jeune Montréalais d'origine haïtienne déterminé à se qualifier aux Jeux olympiques afin de prouver à sa famille tissée serrée que son rêve le conduira loin.

La caméra posée sur Stevens durant une dizaine d'années dévoile son aplomb remarquable, tout en révélant ses nombreuses préoccupations. Son besoin de reconnaissance, tant auprès de ses proches que sur les médias sociaux, côtoie l'importance de la représentativité et le rôle de modèle qu'il veut incarner. À travers son cheminement, sa détermination lui permettra de rebondir et de surmonter les épreuves.

Le documentaire témoigne avec finesse de la ténacité et de la vulnérabilité d'un jeune homme charismatique, résolu à rendre sa famille fière, malgré la pression et les multiples revers. Sa quête des podiums n'a d'égale que son ambition d'inspirer les jeunes de son milieu. Situé à la croisée d'une chronique familiale, d'un film sportif et d'un récit intime, L'ATHLÈTE donne un accès privilégié au parcours de Stevens, motivé à laisser sa marque.

Conceived as part of a nine-months acting laboratory with a group of migrant domestic workers from Indonesia who had been victims of workplace violence in Hong Kong, Dea – directed by performance multidisciplinary artist Alberto Gerosa – is a rare example of a thoroughly independent Hong Kong (neo)realism: a Dardenne-esque portrait of a young woman from Indonesia that makes visible the lives of the overseas workers who enable Hong Kong's middle-class to accumulate capital, who raises their children and do their groceries, while suffering the brunt of the city's ungrateful, economic violence.

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.

But a shocking revelation about Julia compels Pedro to spiral into an act that will stop the production line of one of the city's busiest kitchens once and for all. La Cocina is a tragic and comic tribute to the invisible people who keep our restaurants running and our stomachs full, whilst chasing a perhaps unreachable version of the American dream.

Fernando Di Leo | 1972 | Italy | 88 min | Italian, English with English subtitles

 

Fernando Di Leo's Italian crime classic CALIBER 9 (MILANO CALIBRO 9, 1972) is presented here in a stunning restoration. Small-time gangster Ugo Piazza (Gastone Moschin, THE GODFATHER PART II) has just been released from prison. He tries to convince the police, the mafia, and his one-time associate Rocco (Mario Adorf, THE TIN DRUM), a sadistic hoodlum who enjoys sick violence and torture, that he wants to go straight, but everyone believes he has $300,000 of stolen money hidden somewhere. CALIBER 9's stylized violence, fast-paced action sequences, tight editing and plot twists prefigure the work of Quentin Tarantino and John Woo. The film also features a notable score by Luis Bacalov (DJANGO) and the stunning Barbara Bouchet (CASINO ROYALE) as Ugo's go-go dancing girlfriend.

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.
