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)

Set in the mountains of northeast Italy, this film may be considered an observational documentary about rural life. Although this is undeniably the case, at the same time Under the cold stars can hardly be considered a documentary: the microcosm on which it focuses appears to be a reflection of a broader reality and perhaps a way to deal with the themes of man’s existence and his relationship with animals, nature and, most importantly, with time. As written by Franco Piavoli "it is a film which essentially relies on images and sound, where words themselves are sound and the music of life, of the relentless flow of time."

In the context of the global health crisis, we tried to understand how the French public hospital system operated and, above all, how it held up when it was already in crisis. We filmed in immersion for several weeks, day and night, in the largest hospital in Europe, the Pitié-Salpêtrière, in the medical intensive care unit located in the Eole building. Who are beyond their function, these men and women who make up the nursing and non-healthcare staff: doctors, nurses, nurses' assistants, health managers, interns, administrative and technical staff...? This film gives a voice to the invisible people in the hospital, it shows the daily fight against illness and death, but it also tells of the joys, the internal debates on the complex and daily issue of aggressive treatment. It is the story of a human adventure at the heart of this micro-society that is the hospital.
