Director Stéphane Oystryk will be present at the closing night screening of January 24 for a Q & A !
Directed by Stéphane Oystryk
2014, Canada, 74 min

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.

Reviews

Oystryk has allowed a genuine love of (Franco-Manitoban) culture and homeland to  slip into a satire whose inhabitants express themselves with fervor, madness and lyricism. [Charlie, Alexis and Natasha’s] bike rides help us discover the charms and the shadows of Saint-Boniface.
