Montréal la blanche

Feb 01, 2016
Montréal, un soir où Noël tombe en plein mois de Ramadan ou carême musulman, les destins de deux Algériens d'origine convergent momentanément pour faire resurgir un passé dont ils se croyaient débarrassés. Fuyant la maison et toute forme de festivité sous le prétexte que la soirée peut être très lucrative, Amokrane, chauffeur de taxi, recueille Kahina, jeune professionnelle un peu perdue qui tente de rejoindre son ex-mari pour récupérer sa fille. Amokrane reconnaît en elle son idole, une ancienne vedette de la pop en Algérie, qu'il croyait morte. La nuit et le taxi seront le théâtre du choc de leurs deux drames, de leurs deux solitudes. Dans le rétroviseur, l'Algérie resurgit, s'immisce dans tous les silences, avec son cortège d'ombres et de douleurs que l'on croyait enfouies sous les neiges de Montréal.

"Kite Zo A” (Leave the Bones) is a sensorial film about rituals in Haiti, from ancient to modern, made in collaboration with poets, dancers, musicians, fishermen, daredevil rollerbladers, and Vodou priests, set to poetry by Haitian author Wood-Jerry Gabriel.
