Film Synopsis
A collection of Canadian shorts from across the country and around the corner.
Fine (Drama, Kris Von Kleist)
DeSync (Drama, Minerva Marie Navasca) A young Filipina filmmaker attempts to overwrite a painful memory of her mother with a perfect narrative.
The Understudy (Drama, Peter Pasyk)
What I Did for Love (Drama, Aveleigh Keeler)
The Shape of Cedar (Documentary, Miles Gordon)
How We Live On (Drama, Kris Von Kleist) Based on the award-winning poem How We Live On, this short film touches upon how someone who has passed on lives in our memory but also how those who grieve continue to live on.
Saint Jude (Marc Fortunato) Alone in his garage, a man rehearses a eulogy for someone close to him—someone he’s struggling to let go of.
Triage (David Rendall) For Gemma and James, a simple car ride to the vet escalates into a full-blown crisis, exposing hard truths beneath the surface of their relationship.
No Country for Old Chancras (Luci Lozano) Martina, a frist-time Latina mom, is thrilled to have found a supportive group of fellow Latina mothers—a community that feels like family. But there’s just one small catch… they believe in Chancla discipline. Will her modern approach win them over?
Image Whisperers / Soufflers des Image (Antoine Greco) This short documentary explores the experience of Yvan Tessier, a visually impaired individual, in an art museum. Accompanied by a museum guide, he discovers the artworks through detailed and sensitive descriptions, creating a mental image as faithful as possible.
