Koroviev, a police officer who teaches poetry in a brigade of police poets, is in search of a precious Bible annotated by Pierre Maheu, the captain of the St. Elias, a legendary ship. His quest leads him to befriend a young thief who introduces him to a mysterious woman named Coriandre.

Found memories decayed by the shock patterns of childhood trauma. This films is made mostly with footage found in the bin of an ophanage. The white progressivelly disolve within a darknest more and more dense. Faces progressivelly disolves within one another.

Alexandre Larose creates supernally spectral superimpositions infused with a meteorological mix and the intense lusciousness of the Québec landscape.

Silent 16mm loop made for the situated cinema project at ArtSpace in Sydney, Australia. Composed of old footage from the directors' families.

Drawing on issues of memory, decay, palimpsest and the rubbing together of archive, fiction and situations, pilgrimage was constructed from found strips of 8mm amateur footage gleaned during a residency in Sydney, Australia. The original footage—a tourist’s voyeuristic, filmed impressions of a pilgrimage in a crowded urban space, where the faithful painfully stumble before the entrance of a temple—was reworked using an optical printer and other hand-made techniques.

"In this film, I wanted to explore the potential of in-camera editing by photographing and juxtaposing the window frame and its outside landscape as visual references. I executed three attempts (using three rolls of 16mm film) and aligned them one after the other. I wanted to show the raw material exactly as captured inside the camera." ⁠— Alexandre Larose

“With this project I fabricate sequences by in-camera layering of repeated trajectories inside a path extending from my family’s home into Lac Saint-Charles. The image-capturing process produces a sedimented landscape that gradually unfolds while simultaneously disintegrating under temporal displacement. Approximately 30 long takes begin at the same frame on the film strip, all shot at a high frame rate. My walking rhythm varies for each trajectory, resulting in the space progressively expanding in depth until I reach the edge of a dock. The duration of the long take corresponds to the length of the celluloid reel, a thousand feet of 35mm film.”—Alexandre Larose

Part of Larose's "Ville Marie - B" short film cycle.

This is a study from the "scènes de menage" series, starring Jacques Larose and Marie Claude Ferland, the filmmaker’s parents. We see domestic activities that take on a new dimension thanks to the way Larose deals with successive layers. The repetitive, automatic movements that are repeated in places such as the kitchen and the hallway, the succession of actions of getting into the car and leaving the house, are all captured by the camera in multiple overlays, which on being slightly out of sync give rise to a split, multidimensional reality.

This series of three works is part of the “household scenes” project, a corpus in development. It is a set of vignettes, cinematographic tableaux, built around the repeated gestures of my parents’ daily life. I present these scenes sometimes as sequence shots, sometimes as a succession of cut-out shots. Some depict only one parent, with particular emphasis on how he/she negotiates domestic space. With these paintings, imagined in various environments and by a treatment specific to the medium, I work to reveal the singularity of the places, the movement of the figures and the relationship between the two.
