L'animal et le maître

The documentary L'animal et le maître addresses the sensitive issue of animal law in Canada. The laws vary from one province to another, from one species to another, but especially according to the animal's usefulness to man and its economic value. As real property in some provinces, recognized as sentient beings in Quebec, farm, companion or wild animals may be included in the laws, but they are not entitled to the same treatment.

Dreaming Without a Ceiling

Directed by filmmaker Will Prosper, the documentary Rêver sans plafond/ Dreaming Without a Ceiling will follow this Montreal visual artist of Haitian origin as he realizes the most important project of his career: five impo- sing mosaics that will adorn the walls of the Édouard-Montpetit REM me- tro station. Using this as a starting point more than a final destination, it will offer us an opportunity to discover the unusual journey and the crea- tive approach of an inspiring artist, who has thought long and hard about the place of art in his life, in our society, in the world.

Nueva York : ici, on parle espagnol

Latinos are becoming an increasingly important part of American society and multicultural New York City is no exception. Some New York City neighbourhoods are made up of 80% Latinos and it has become possible to live there speaking only Spanish. Guided by a Hispanic cab driver, we take part in a kind of urban road movie through the streets of the American metropolis.
