Short film program
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.
