Peacock's Monologues
Sound Editor
This short film tells the story of a meeting between two neighbours, in Ahuntsic and Villeray, around memories of Portugal; it is a story of two very different cities, Montreal and Lisbon; of an old man who has come to terms with death; of two strangers separated by an ocean but connected by the flight of a homing pigeon. Birds are the guides for this poetic meandering, exploring memories of the past and portents of the future. A dissonant score accompanies a split screen, completing the impression that we are confronted with a sensory puzzle, at once natural and urban, in which meditation takes its cues from fragments of reality. Matthew Wolkow’s film is a gentle ornithological, human and floral tale, suffused with both hope and the grim anxieties of our time. (Apolline Caron-Ottavi)

Two women fall into a cycle of changing their appearance in order to find happiness.
Goodnight Goodnight
Sound
Is there a hidden link between hydroelectricity, romance and alienation? Does the contemporary energy consumption have anything to do with the ways people experience their place in the world? This film does not provide answers to those questions but asks new ones in a very striking visual fashion. A mysterious film with hidden gifts.
Before the Deluge
Sound Re-Recording Mixer
Within the ancient precambrian rock of northern Canada lies one of the largest reserves of Uranium on the planet. A power that has produced the greatest destructive energy known to man, it also manifests itself in the natural glory of the region. A Gothic travelogue that calls for dialogue with the ghosts of the region; mining towns swallowed up in the pandemonium of trade, extraction and abandonment. While unknown forces that inhabit these lands speaks in somber memories.
