Kaveh’ short film was just posted on the NFB website.
“In this short fiction film, a Mexican university professor is stuck driving a taxi in Montreal. His tequila-swilling guardian angel doesn’t make life any easier.”
How come highly educated immigrants can’t get the jobs they’re especially trained for?
Woolf + Lapin sera à la première montréalaise de Jaloux ce soir à l’Ex-Centris.
Il n’y pas que ça, Jaloux a aussi sa première américaine à 16h30 aujourd’hui au MoMA dans le cadre de Canadian Front 2011.
Le film fait penser à du Hitchcock, du Chabrol et du Haneke. C’est du solide. Vraiment.
Bravo à Patrick Demers et aux producteurs Cédric Bourdeau et Stéphane Tanguay de chez Kinesis.
Jaloux prendra l’affiche le 25 mars

And then off to SXSW with Little Scream.
Here’s a Spanish interview he gave to Radio Canada International

Check out director Jérémie Saindon’s exclusive 8 minute long video showcasing not just 1, but 2 songs from Yelle’s upcoming album ‘Safari Disco Club’!
Jérémie’s clip is currently ranked fifth by elbo.ws right after Lady Gaga’s Born This Way.
The Yelle video also features the Fanny Pak dance crew.
The French pop singer is to tour with Katy Perry, starting March 17th, 2011.
Christian Lalumière’s short Training Session (produced by Émilie Heckmann) is in competition at SXSW 2011.
The film will be screening in Austin with two other films from Québec, namely Denis Villeneuve’s Incendies and Halima Ouardiri‘s Mokhtar .
Not missing a beat, the Quebec government is jumping into the fray to showcase Québec talent at SXSW with their own cultural campaign awkwardly called Planète Québec, launched by Culture Minister Christine St-Pierre.
Also of note, Training Session is also competing at the Festival de court-métrage francophone de Munich.
Not bad at all for a festival run…
