Screening with filmmaker Matthieu Brouillard in attendance
For this special screening of The Anguish of the Heron, Cinéma Moderne and SPIRA offers a program of 3 films centred Canadian artists.
THE ANGUISH OF THE HERON, Matthieu Brouillard (2024, Essay/Documentary, 44 minutes) | Seated in his kitchen, Quebec novelist Gaétan Soucy, who died in 2013, recounts the circumstances and intimate dramas that led him to write. In parallel, unusual scenes unfold: a man records his thoughts about a missing friend, two "madmen" engage in a curious duel in the common room of a decrepit hospital... Little by little, these seemingly unrelated worlds converge to form a baroque, maze-like picture that dissolves the boundaries between reality and fiction. A film in the form of a eulogy, offering a meditation on grief, legacy, friendship, and artistic creation.
paired with:
RYAN, Chris Landreth (2004, Animation, ONF, 14 minutes)
LA THÉORIE LAUZON, Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre (2022, Fiction/Animation, Travelling, 15 minutes)
