Astres (Andrée-Anne Roussel): Hyo-Jin attends the funeral of her younger sister in South Korea, her homeland. First denying the pain caused by her loss, she decides to shorten her stay in Korea and swiftly returns home to Montreal. The death of her sister disturbs her daily life, triggering rather irrational thoughts, despite her scientific and pragmatic spirit.

B.K.S. (Alexa-Jeanne Dubé): B.K.S. uses A.S.M.R video codes to tell a break-up sex story.

Oracle (Aaron Poole): A child internalizes the chaos of home renovations and his parents’ preoccupation, precipitating a fever dream that catapults his consciousness into adult realms of obsession and dread.

Pick (Alicia K. Harris): A young girl wears her afro to school on picture day and must deal with the unexpected consequences.

She Who Wears the Rain (Marianne Métivier): Immersed in a world halfway between reality and a dream, Agnes will have to confront her mourning.

Tartarus (Omar Elhamy): An exhausted gangster encounters a spectre from his past, a presence without censure, nor even warning, but with a message of inevitability.

The Evaporated People (Yann-Manuel Hernandez): On August 1st, 2008, Marc B. was seen for the last time near Dorwin Falls in Rawdon. He vanished without leaving a trace like thousand of others around the world. They are called ”Johatsu”, the Evaporated.

The Pose (Kevin Dempster): A nude model finds peace in a classical pose.

Velvet Cut (Shaun Stander): It’s the 1800s in the American desert and a solitary, troubled man gets bitten by a rattlesnake. Nothing is certain anymore in this luminescent night.
