- Montreal. Ti-Red, freshly out of prison, roams the neighborhood looking for his girlfriend. Then together, they beg. Marco and Rob get high and prostitute themselves for a few dollars. Daguy, artist and homeless, philosopher in the tent that serves as his home and visits a friend who is barely better off. The filmmakers accompany them for a long time in their urban wanderings or in their trips - which sometimes amounts to the same thing. Day and night, the camera, as close as possible to the faces, follows these characters in perpetual motion in a very physical hand-to-hand combat. Working on each chapter with nervous, highly articulated editing, the film restores all the vitality and wild energy of this "marginal" world. Between cinema-verité and staging, this film made of dialogues and wanderings is part of the collective web-cinema project epopee.me, involving people in difficulty. Who here burst the screen with their presence and their humanity. A raw and dazzling response to all exclusions.

- -"À l'insu du plein gré" is a documentary about Quebec cinema (in canada). It aims to put into perspective the different issues of production, distribution, and especially creation in the face of the various funding, broadcasting and promotional bodies.

"À l'insu du plein gré" gives the floor to distinguished personalities of Quebec cinema: Germain Houde, André Turpin, Louis Saïa, Denis Villeneuve, Michel Brault, Robert Morin, Juliette Ruer, Alexis Martin, Michel Coulombe, Micheline Lanctôt, Denis Chouinard...

- A look at the life and works of Quebec painter and performance artist, Serge Lemoyne (1941-1998). The mosaic is composed of 8mm and16mm film, personal videos of the artist that serve as a kind of diary, televisual archives, as well as interviews with the artist's peers, including Claude Péloquin, Marcel Saint-Pierre and Claude Jasmin. With his installations, performances and Land Art, Lemoyne shook the Quebec art scene beginning in 1963 with multidisciplinary events combining poetry, music, painting and dance. He also introduced Quebec to the spirit and practice of Pop Art. For Lemoyne, the boundary between art and life was blurred. For ten years he went through his "red, white and blue" period, the colours of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team and its stars Jean Béliveau, Guy Lafleur and Ken Dryden. From the early eighties until his death, he worked at transforming his native house of Acton Vale-destroyed by arson two years after his death-into a work of art, questioning in the process the nature of art and its role in society.
