Les Films du 3 Mars and Les Films de l’Autre are pleased to announce the digital release of the feature documentary Wild Cats, produced and directed by Steve Patry (Tant que j’ai du respir dans le corps, Waseskun).
The film began its journey at the Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM), before being presented on the international scene, notably at the DokuBaku International Documentary Film Festival, at DOC-Cévennes, at the Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF) and at the La Rochelle Cinéma Festival (FEMA). Having also enjoyed great success in theaters, Wild Cats continues to reach audiences. It is now available worldwide via the F3M+ platform, and will be screened at Station VU on Thursday October 1, in the presence of the director.
Synopsis: Away from the world, in a DIY cabin, Martin’s life is organized. Surrounded by a forest of spruce trees and scrap metal carcasses, this indomitable loner patches up a new existence in the company of his pack of cats. The disappearance of Junior, one of his felines, disrupts his daily life and brings back memories of the past. Composed of fragments of life and fragile confessions, Wild Cats plunges us into the confines of a territory and human nature of harsh beauty. Guided by a cinema of almost total incursion, the film explores the themes of mourning and freedom, while questioning our relationship to marginality.
