André Forcier | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 94 min | French
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.

A small mountain community in Canada is devastated when a school bus accident leaves more than a dozen of its children dead. A big-city lawyer (Ian Holm) arrives to help the survivors' and victims' families prepare a class-action suit, but his efforts only seem to push the townspeople further apart. At the same time, one teenage survivor of the accident (Sarah Polley) has to reckon with the loss of innocence brought about by a different kind of damage.

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.

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.

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!

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.
