Barely 20 years after the Sydney Olympics when water polo was first opened to female athletes, Canadian national team polo players are getting ready for the Tokyo Games, following paths barely trodden by their predecessors. Aiming to be both immersive and contemplative, this documentary transports the audience in the middle of a match, on the players' bench, between the stands and the surface.

Dumping Day poster
NR

In a village at the tip of Nova Scotia, an Acadian community of 2,000 inhabitants is preparing to begin yet another lobster fishing season. The fishermen are preparing all year round for this great return to school day, on the verge of their feet, all waiting for the Atlantic wind to finally calm down, to be able to weigh anchor.

Concrete Plaza poster
NR

The Plaza Saint-Hubert was long shunned by the petty-bourgeoisie of Montreal for its too "kitsch" allure or the questionable choices of town planning which shaped the layout of its facades. However, the biome of the Plaza is no longer resisting the tendencies of gentrification that are affecting the city of Montreal as a whole. This short film focuses on the real open wound that is the repair site of the mythical Plaza. An incongruous universe where wedding dresses dance with mechanical shovels.

Hossam, kishash poster
NR

The portrait of a pigeon breeder named Hossam, and a look at the culture of the Kashasheen in the city of Amman, Jordan. The recreational breeding of pigeons is widely practiced in several countries of the Levant. The Kashasheen will train their birds to fly and to follow their directions given by whistles, calls, and movements. After having soared high and far in the sky, they will always come back to rest with their master. It is a sport of patience and contemplation, based on building a bond of trust between the Kishash and his horde of birds.
