By the banks of the LaChine canal, against a backdrop of industrial red brick and iron, 12 film-makers document a 'day in the life' of 12 residents of St. Henri, Montreal. And it literally is a day, one day of filming; the 26th of August. That's quite the feat right? Beautiful, desaturated images of St. Henri and heart-warming characters flicker across the screen to an original score by Patrick Watson-- a perfect way to end a weekend of Hot Docs.
(And an easy post after a 3-month hiatus! Did e & I run out of content, inspiration or time? Or all of the above?)
