ME (Don Hertzfeldt, United States, 2024, 22 minutes) *QUEBEC PREMIERE*

Don Hertzfeldt’s newest animated film ME is a 22-minute musical odyssey about trauma, technology, and the retreat of humanity into itself. Indiewire has described it as “soul-shaking” and “a triumph”.

It’s Such a Beautiful Day (Don Hertzfeldt, United States, 2012, 62 minutes)

Dark and troubling events force Bill to reckon with the meaning of his life.

In 2012, Don Hertzfeldt seamlessly edited his groundbreaking short film trilogy about a man named Bill into a new animated feature film. Six years in the making, the completed picture was captured entirely in-camera on a 35mm rostrum animation stand. Built in the 1940s and used by Hertzfeldt on every project since 1999, it was one of the last surviving cameras of its kind still operating in the world, indispensable in the creation of the story’s unique images and visual effects. It’s Such a Beautiful Day painstakingly blends traditional hand-drawn animation, experimental optical effects, trick photography, and digital hybrids printed out one frame at a time.
