Franco-Manitoban independent filmmaker Stéphane Oystryk has pulled off a minor miracle with his first feature film. With a tight budget and influences as diverse as Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused and Larry Clark’s Kids, he has created a poignant and satirical feature shot entirely in St. Boniface. Three young friends cruise the streets at night on their bikes, riffing on the stereotyped and claustrophobic culture around them as Franco-Manitobans, the night before two of them leave their tight knit francophone community in Winnipeg in favour of Montreal.
