For the magazine's twentieth anniversary this year, a series of screenings has been planned on the double bill principle, with the main focus on a selection of rarely-seen films. Other movies in the program are also important milestones in the development of the critics' dialogue within one of Quebec's most dynamic film magazines.
A man regains consciousness as he is trapped in an extremely narrow concrete underground. He can't remember how he got there and has a stomach wound. As best he can, he moves around, hoping to get out.
Shin'ya Tsukamoto
Shin'ya Tsukamoto is a Japanese filmmaker, considered a leading figure in the cyberpunk movement in Japan akin to the American cyberpunk wave (William Gibson, David Cronenberg). He began his directing career at the age of 14, with a Super 8 camera gifted to him by his father. In 1989, his first feature film, Tetsuo, had a groundbreaking impact, launching the cyberpunk genre in Japan. Renowned for his style, the director is also celebrated for his independence as he writes, directs, and edits his films himself. He even acted in several of his films, including Tetsuo, Tokyo Fist (1995), Bullet Ballet (1998), and Haze (2005), while also appearing in films by Martin Scorsese, Takashi Miike, and Hideaki Anno. Killing, his first samurai film, was selected at the Venice Film Festival 2018.
