Spotlight on homegrown cinema
QUéBEC/CANADA | 70 minutes | 2018
Alone in an apartment, a young woman works on a nameless film, editing footage left by an absent lover, fleeting images of Russian melancholy. This mise en abîme expresses a profound solitude both soothing and eerie. Time passes, the wait extends, the plot thickens . . . Poised between experimental cinema and visual art, Yaroshevsky’s singular film is carried by a sublime Sophie Desmarais, the perfect guide through this hushed, contemplative and strangely sensual world. A meditative, inventive journey through magnificent verdigris images, exquisitely framed. WORLD PREMIEREQ&A with the cast and crew on October 4th
