LES REELS PERDUS
Samuel Matteau & Maude Vézina & Alexandra Dion-Fortin
Canada (Quebec), Documentary
“On the windswept cliffs of the Magdalen Islands, a shipwreck tells of a legend that is slowly fading with time. Once upon a time, mysterious melodies, reels carried by the islanders' hearts, gave them the power to soar. Today, this magic has been silenced, taking with it the bonds of a community marked by change and the erosion of its territory.

Part poetic tale, part chronicle of loss, Les Reels Perdus is an ode to the strength of tradition, the magic of an island people and their struggle to preserve what remains of their identity.”

Driven by their desire for light and warmth, British teenagers take a trip to the Balearic Islands.

A surreal film about the real phenomenon of “balconing” which, in recent summers, has led to tragic, self-inflicted accidents particularly among young people travelling to Spain.
