Group of Seven Inches borrows from the diaries of 19th century painters of “Indians,” George Catlin and Paul Kane, turning their dismissive writings on the “romantic savage” upside down and inside out. Miss Chief Eagle Testickle (the outrageous alter ego of Cree artist Kent Monkman), forces innocent naked white men to become her figure models, seduces them with whiskey, and when she’s done with them, dresses them up as more “authentic” examples of the “European male.” Shot on the grounds of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario, Group of Seven Inches subverts the subjectivity and authority of colonial art history and everything else it can get its hands on.

Didier and Anne, both trying to escape from their lives, literally bump into one another on the streets of Paris and, through a series of adventures, set about creating a quiet revolution in their lives. Clear-eyed, witty and entirely original, this is a film of friendship and an exploration of our need not to run away, but to create what we really want for ourselves.
