Hossam, kishash

Adèle Foglia

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.

Concrete Plaza

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.

Dumping Day

Ludovic Anselme Pilon, Adèle Foglia

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.
