Bryan Away: The Lake
2020 16+ 5 min
by Qianwen Yu
Lake is liquid, inanimate, emotionless. Like blood flowing through a body, the water circulates and sustains, bringing life to its surroundings. In this video, life is continuously reborn through the raindrops, through the terrain and into the air. The beauty of this process is juxtaposed with the songwriter’s perspective, someone who is detached and yearning to feel the full breadth of human emotion.

Nothing happens
2017 16+ 12 min
by Michelle Kranot, Uri Kranot
It is bitterly cold in the inner city neighborhoods, and yet people come together. I watch them form a line on the horizon. We wait for something to happen. But nothing does. We have come together to witness an event. To participate in a spectacle. To see and be seen.

Red of the Yew Tree
2016 16+ 12 min
by Marie-Hélène Turcotte
Red of the Yew Tree is the crossing of a feminine and universal imagination, an odyssey inked in fine point. A pheasant hunt is the occasion of a voyage that is at once delicate and mightily evocative, under the breath of maternal love and the transmission of a shared feminine condition. It is a vast intimate adventure unfolds, as equivocal as it is precise, through an intuitive hunt and a recovered collective memory.
