Love-moi
director: Marcel Simard actor: Germain Houde / Paule Baillargeon
En pleine rue, dans un quartier populaire de Montréal, un jeune homme est assassiné. Fait divers pour les médias, ce drame ébranle les proches de la victime, des jeunes pour qui la violence est pourtant une denrée quotidienne. Love-moi fait l'autopsie de cette violence. Au banc des accusés : huit jeunes. Les témoins à charge : le mépris, l'indifférence, les préjugés, l'oppression... L'univers de ces jeunes est sans rêves, sans illusions et sans espoir. Ils n'ont rien, sinon peut-être le choix de se condamner eux-mêmes et, parfois, le cran de mettre fin à leurs jours... sans se rater.

Mourir à tue-tête
director: Anne Claire Poirier actor: Julie Vincent / Germain Houde
other title: Mourir à tue-tête / 拼命地死
Rape, the practice of female genital mutilation in Africa, and the legal system in most countries which shames rape victims rather than their abusers, are the subjects of this drama. In the story, a woman is making a film about the rape of a single woman but is also interviewing a series of rape victims. As she edits her film, she and her assistant discuss it. All of the rapists are symbolically united in one man's portrait, as enacted by Germain Houde. Real-life documentation is intermingled with reenactments and symbolic scenes to make this an extraordinarily harrowing viewing experience. The main character is unable to deal with the aftermath of her victimization, and she eventually commits suicide. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Set in a small rural town in the Quebec Laurentian Mountains, Michelle lives in an isolated house with her mentally-challenged brother Guy and her 13 year old daughter Manon. Together the three of them survive by running a small firewood business and performing other odd jobs. Michelle is frustrated with living in poverty and being the center of several people who demand her affection; her brother is like a second child who lives in his own world, his romantic obsession with their wealthy client Madame Viau-Vachon being an exercise in futility. Maurice, the local police chief, is her lover and Gaetan, a mechanic and family friend, would like to be. Most demanding of all is her daughter, who has an unhealthy emotional dependence on her. Precocious and uninterested in school, Manon is jealous of her mother's suitors and angry at being left home to do chores and care for Guy. Then an event occurs that threatens the emotional dynamic between Manon and her mother.
