Terre ferme
Music
Solid Ground is a poetic and sound-rich travelogue—a personal journal that reveals the thoughts of an expatriate returning to her native land. Employing the rarely used monotype animation technique, Solid Ground reflects the personal experience of discovering different lands and feeling as though one were simultaneously at home and elsewhere.
Alchimie moderne
Music
Strength. Challenges. Courage.  Modern Alchemy depicts a quest for self-knowledge that revolves around resilience, reconstruction and rebirth. A succession of colours, each more vibrant than the last, in which one stops breathing for a moment to find a path toward inner peace.
Sometimes I Wish I Was On a Desert Island
Music
As the world learns to live again in the midst of the pandemic, for many Arabic-speaking LGBTQ+ people living in Montreal, this is just a period of time like any other. When you’ve fled homophobic violence in your home country and endured a painful migratory journey, or you still face social prejudices stemming from intercultural and intergenerational conflicts, surviving social isolation is nothing new.
Long Division
Music
Two old friends, newcomers to a life of crime, have to make hard decisions about what they must do with their hostage now that they have run out of time and options. Complicating matters is the fact that competing crews in their line of business are aware of their situation, putting their credibility as legitimate criminals on the line.
