Forêts urbaines | Anne-Marie Rocher | 2024 | 95 min (13+)
- From Montreal to Vancouver, with stops in Toronto, Laval, Varennes and New Westminster, this delightful documentary takes viewers on an inspiring journey to discover citizen initiatives that bring nature back into cities. Forêts urbaines (Urban Forests) is much more than a film. It’s a vibrant portrait of a grassroots environmental movement, an antidote to pessimism, a breath of fresh air, and evidence that change isn’t just possible: it’s already happening.

Celebrate the energy, effort and spirit of play with this selection of short films highlighting Canada’s iconic sports. From hockey to skating to logrolling to kids’ games, these films immerse viewers in a world in motion, where physical activity becomes a cultural language. Maboule (Oddball) kicks things off with its entertaining and energetic animation, followed by the classic Le chandail (The Sweater), a tender and humorous take on Quebec’s love of hockey. Le patin (The Skates) offers a short comedic break, while Wapos Bay – Jouer pour soi, c’est pas hockey (Wapos Bay: There’s No “I” in Hockey) explores the opposing forces of team spirit and competition in an Indigenous community. And finally, the animated choreography of La valse du maître draveur (The Log Driver’s Waltz) celebrates the log-driving tradition and the loggers who once danced across the timber. A program that’ll get your screen jumping and your legs pumping!
