ECLAT DU JOUR (Daybreak) – Directed by Ian Lagarde

In a Montreal suburb, Xavier and his friends are dealing with pre-teen boredom. They hang out at the park, ride their bikes, mess with each other; it's another suburban summer afternoon. But beneath the smiles lies a growing tension, a certain violence which leads the group to a collective release of unexpected intensity; a ritualistic initiation into adolescence.

PUNCHES & PEDICURES – Ash Brandon

PUNCHES & PEDICURES is a narrative short film about Vietnamese immigrant Victor, who escaped a life of gang activity by relocating to the rural town of Defiance, Ohio. Now the owner of his own business, he aims to help trouble youth from making the same mistakes he once made.
