MADE AU CANADA 2
Canadian queer stories from coast to coast to coast. These rich, humour-filled narratives and affecting documentary reflections tease out a myriad of Canadian queer identi(ties).
WOMAN MEETS GIRL
MURRY PEETERS | CANADA | 2022 | 17 MIN | ENGLISH
As cocktails lead to revealing conversation, chemistry builds between Annabelle, an awkward-in- her-own-skin, 42 year old woman and Tessie (Rookie Blue, Workin’ Moms), an extroverted, 18 year old sex worker. A surprising moment soon introduces the possibility of deeper connection.
WHITEROCK
KYLE REAUME | CANADA | 2023 | 13 MIN | ENGLISH
Whiterock explores a relationship that outwardly appeared loving, warm, and enviable. But inward, a secret laid in the shadows, growing wings. Using cinema narrative dissonance—a technique where the cinematic language is in direct conflict with the story being presented—the film constantly transforms, unable to steady its narrative focus as it censors, skips, rewinds and distorts itself, torn between the public perception of the relationship vs the reality.
REVERIE
LOUIS WEI | CANADA | 2023 | 27 MIN | ENGLISH
A teenager finds out his two dads have genetically engineered his sexual orientation. He confronts them about hiding this from him and we learn what factors made them make this decision.
FURSONA
ALYSSIA LABBÉ-HERVIEUX | CANADA | 2023 | 6 MIN | ENGLISH
The Furry community is made up of people who use drawing and costumes to bring animal characters with human characteristics to life. Fursona depicts the universe of Aly, a member of this community.
FISH BOY
CHRISTOPHER YIP | CANADA | 2023 | 11 MIN | CANTONESE + ENGLISH S.-T.EN.
Fish Boy is a lyrical meditation on faith, love, and polyamory through the eyes of an Asian American teenager. When 16-year-old Patrick (Ian Chen, Fresh Off the Boat) questions his love for God, his self-discovery manifests in his skin.
