Chants de l’Est + Maman

This October, Cinéma Public will host Les monteurs à l’affiche! Each program will be an opportunity to learn about the craft of editing and discover the behind-the-scenes work involved in creating the selected films.

An unfinished film is passed along from one friend to another. The dialog between them is a journey crossed by the swarming of the Great Eastern Brood X of periodical cicadas that prophetically emerge every 17 years in the United States, invoking a reflection of a post-pandemic present and our shared futures. A road movie composed of a chorus of voices (both human and non-human), the warnings of history, the power of nature and rebirth.

Chants de l’Est will be preceded by Héloïse Bargain’s short film Maman.
