Nauji Kvebeko balsai (Skalvija)

This energetic program presents six films of a new generation of Quebec creators, the most outstanding in the repertoire of the international short film festival "REGARD" in recent years.

The program begins with a typical journey into Quebec rural life, saturated with traditional music sounds. After her, we travel to the beach with the charming 107-year-old Madeleine and her 40-year-old friend. The comedy "Wildflowers" will probably remind you of that friend who leaves endless messages on your voicemail. We will also invite you to a surreal banquet with mothers... and their monsters. We will follow in the footsteps of Catherina's Atikamek ancestors. And the program will conclude with the astonishing Simo, a powerful and contemporary tribute to immigrant families facing stereotypes and cultural challenges.

Established in 1995, REGARD is one of the premier short film festivals in North America. Held in Quebec (Canada's largest province), the Oscar-qualified event annually screens over 200 short films from around the world and hosts the only short film fair in the Quebec region.

The program was prepared by Morgane Ferrero, creator of the REGARD program. N-16
