Inspired by the cult Quebec classic, The Dog Who Stopped the War: Reimagined is a collective recreation orchestrated by Kino Montréal. The project brings together multiple filmmakers, each invited to reinvent a scene from the original film in their own distinct way.

Once assembled, these reinterpretations form an unpredictable and fragmented feature film that pays tribute to a landmark of Quebec cinema
