Le voleur vit en enfer
Robert Morin, Lorraine Dufour
A man loses his job and starts to tumble. Social assistance awaits him at the first level, a poor neighborhood in the second. In the third, the wildlife of its neighbors affects its mental state. Believing that he has hallucinations in relation to those around him and to restore his objective banality, he begins to film him, secretly, like a thief, from the window of his slum. Once developed, rather than reassuring him, the films will make him go from disarray to psychosis.

Journal d'un coopérant
Robert Morin
Robert Morin, Rose Twagirayezu
Jean-Marc Phaneuf, an unmarried electrical engineer, travels to Burundi as a volunteer for the NGO Radio du Monde. He finds a country ruined by grinding poverty, famine, war, disease and appalling social inequality. At the same time, he meets a joyful, brave people hungry for happiness, knowledge and human dignity. The camera that becomes his personal diary also helps Jean-Marc expose the shaky, ineffective workings of NGOs. His investigations turn up a few praiseworthy examples of international cooperation, but on the whole he finds himself drawn to a terrible, inescapable conclusion: humanitarian aid is a utopian mirage. After falling victim to an attack and losing whatever ideals he still had, Jean-Marc becomes entangled in an impossible relationship. He is ultimately forced to leave Africa in disgrace.

3 histoires d'Indiens

In this ensemble film, Shayne travels back and forth between a sleepy hamlet and a mining town while listening to classical music, Alicia, Shandy Eve and Marie Claude worship the holy martyr, Kateri Tekakwitha, together, and Erik builds a crude TV transmitter out of spare parts.
