A White Dress A young man visits his mother to introduce him to his wife. But in this cloudy world that is the family, are we always those whom we pretend to be?

A White Dress sizzles and pops with performances usually saved for features.

Timbré Timbré is a touching love tale: absurd, yet tragic at the same time. It recounts the crazy story of Vadim, a young Russian immigrant living in Montreal who is madly in love with Sophie, a beautiful Franco-Manitoban. Almost two months have passed since the last time Vadim and Sophie have seen each other. In a desperate love impulse, Vadim tempts fate to be reunited with Sophie. Montreal, Quebec, destination: St-Boniface, Manitoba. Director Joëlle Desjardins Paquette brings a dark sense of humor to this story of love and longing by juxtaposing real problems against the absurdity the romance can drive us to. A bit of levity in the powerful colection of short films from IndiePix, Timbré is an example of how humor can be effortlessly transported through the medium of short film.

On Earth As It Is In Heaven When his loving wife passes away, a retired farmer faces the silent looks of those around who seem to condemn him to an imminent death. Hervé Demers has crafted a cinematic poem which floats effortlessly across the screen. Words, images and sounds all flow together in unison as a aging man looks back on all that he has done and what is to become of his short future. Equally moving and poignant, On Earth As It Is In Heaven is a passionate requiem to life and death which must be seen to be believed.
