Amanita Pestilens (Feature Film - French version): A man obsessed with his award-winning lawn goes to great lengths to keep it looking great when mushrooms suddenly start appearing all over the yard.

Beehives (Short Film 1 - with French subtitles): A young woman works through a particular memory in her past with her therapist.

Expo Film (Short Film 2 - with French subtitles): Using anonymous home movie footage of Expo '67 in Montreal, the artist sets out to recreate a memory that perhaps never existed.

About the Pairings:

Beehives: One of three Ottawa-based films about memory in this screening, Beehives uses its brevity to underscore the weight that even the most unassuming moments of the past can hold.

Expo Film: Immersing viewers in found footage from 1967 Montréal, Expo Film (this film is my memory) is the perfect amuse-bouche for a feature length visit to 1963 Ottawa in Amanita Pestilens.

Expo Film (this film is my memory)

Using anonymous home movie footage of Expo '67 in Montreal, the artist sets out to recreate a memory that perhaps never existed. Celluloid manipulation and sound decay techniques coalesce to transform a mythic landscape into a sublime expanse of disintegrated memory.
