Eastern Anthems + Q&A

May 4th screening with filmmaker Matthew Wolkow in attendance

DIALOGUE DU TIGRE (2017), Québec, 18 min

Débutant aux Portes de l’Enfer, sur le Chemin du Brûlé, cette fable est un dialogue; une rencontre entre un entomologiste, un curieux de métier et un tigre, dit Papilio canadensis ou Papillon tigré du Canada.

EASTERN ANTHEMS (2024), Québec, 76 min

An unfinished film is passed along from one friend to another. The dialog between them is a journey crossed by the swarming of the Great Eastern Brood X of periodical cicadas that prophetically emerge every 17 years in the United States, invoking a reflection of a post-pandemic present and our shared futures. A road movie composed of a chorus of voices (both human and non-human), the warnings of history, the power of nature and rebirth.
