The luminous shadows capture the gestures, the silences, the desires and the tensions that inhabit these Quebec and Algonquin hunters as they become the protagonists of a ritual with deep ramifications, and where nature still reigns supreme.<\/p>\n<p>Through a sensory and immersive staging, we evoke this tenuous border between the visible and the invisible, between light and shadow, between memory, transmission and forgetting. The film is thus a meditation on the fragile cohabitation between humans and their environment, but also between Indigenous people and non-Indigenous people in a world in profound change.<\/p><div id=\"linit-198250703\" class=\"linit-dans-le-contenu linit-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8992136571741975\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px;\" \ndata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8992136571741975\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6185130430\"><\/ins> \n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>To watch the trailer: vimeo.com\/1233131261<\/p>\n<p>About the filmmaker Born in Saguenay, living in Montreal, Nicolas Dufour-Laperri\u00e8re has had a career as an artist and film producer for over 15 years.
