Geographies of Solitude
We have the opportunity to showcase a few films that have shine in the past few months in Quebec. While we await the winner of the Prix collégial du cinéma québécois, let's discover - or rediscover the nominated films of Monia Chokri, Pascal Plante, Ariane Louis-Seize, Henry Bernadet and Jacquelyn Mills. A program of short films will also offer a glimpse at the next generation of filmmakers.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with producer Rosalie Chicoine Perreault

Geographies of Solitude is an immersion into the rich ecosystem of Sable Island, guided by naturalist and environmentalist Zoe Lucas who has lived over 40 years on this remote sliver of land in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Shot on 16mm and created using a scope of innovative eco-friendly filmmaking techniques, this feature-length experimental documentary is a playful and reverent collaboration with the natural world.
