Une femme est une femme et moi aussi
Sylvie Laliberté
Here is an interior woman who knows how to receive and who speaks very decorative and so feminine. The result of a very special attention, the image and the sound are one, that is to say that they go at the same speed; at the speed of a woman who seeks to know, in a very simple and practical way. Or when being a woman is almost child’s play.

Squat!
Ève Lamont
Summer 2001 in Montreal, in the midst of a housing crisis, homeless people, the under-housed, and young activists occupy a vacant building. In the name of the right to housing, a political squat takes shape with the support of the city. Squat! exposes the hypocrisy and illogicality of the municipal authorities who stole the squatters’ initiative and idealism, drawing them into a political game of which they were the victims. The film not only reveals the voracious eye and biased coverage of the media, but also denounces the strong tendency of our capitalist society to not consider housing as a fundamental right and to repress any action to regain it autonomously.
