These Wild Cats
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 Jean-François Leblanc, Anne Émond, Steve Patry, Jonathan Beaulieu-Cyr and Matthew Rankin. A program of short films will also offer a glimpse at the best offerings of the year.
Official Selection, RIDM 2024
Away from the world, in his DIY cabin deep in a forest, Martin is building a new existence in the company of his pack of cats. The disappearance of one of his felines disrupts his daily life and brings back memories of his past.
Steve Patry
Steve Patry is a documentary director whose works have a deep social aim. His first feature, From Prisons to Prisons (2014), documents the life of different ex-cons who are trying to reintegrate society. The film received a special mention from the jury at RIDM and a Jutra Award nomination for Best Documentary. Waseskun (2016), which portrays the daily life of an alternative house for Indigenous men, was nominated for Best Feature Length Documentary at the Canadian Screen Awards. I Might Be Dead By Tomorrow (2020), which sheds light on Montreal front-line workers working hard to provide appropriate care to the most vulnerable citizens in our society, received a nomination at the Gala Québec Cinéma for Best Documentary Film. These Wild Cats is his fourth feature film.
