Amokrane is a taxi driver, working one Christmas night. After losing her car, Kahina gets into his cab. She’s in a hurry to meet her daughter, who’s at her estranged husband’s house. But they don’t get there in time. Amokrane soon realizes his passenger is a former Algerian pop star who he thought had died.
So begins a strange night of wandering and confrontation. With this first fictional feature, adapted from his own play, Bachir Bensaddek has made a captivating film, a portrait of Montreal’s Muslim community in all its diversity, depth and complexity. Tender and lucid, Montréal la blanche asks frank, important questions about identity and integration, while introducing two engaging actors: Rabah Aït Ouyahia and Karina Aktouf.
Props to Bachir and Stéphane Tanguay at Productions Kinesis!

BRTHR released this Weeknd music video just before the holidays. It has passed the 17 million views mark.
It is still reminiscent of their run and gun style with their very own editing style. Vulture says it is cholk-full of badassery… Indeed.
Stop-motion animation using Stikbots. The music is a throwback to old, classic animation.
Sébastien Ricard joue avec conviction cet antihéros pris dans le tourbillon infernal du mensonge.
Outre l’univers des délateurs, «Le Clan» traite du mensonge, de la trahison, de vengeance et du désir de liberté qui réside en chacun.
«C’est une série qui porte vraiment à réfléchir. Il y a l’omniprésence du mensonge, sans mensonge, il n’y a pas de société. Les gens mentent à longueur de journée. Ça me fait triper de jouer ce personnage-là », a dit Sébastien Ricard, qui est totalement crédible dans son rôle.
Le tournage s’est effectué au Nouveau-Brunswick ainsi qu’au Québec. Pour une question de réalisme, ce sont de vrais Acadiens qui jouent les personnages du Sud, et ça fonctionne plutôt bien.
La série met aussi en vedette d’excellents comédiens comme Pierre_Yves Cardinal, Germain Houle, Luc Seney, Louis-Philippe Dandenault, Denise Bouchard et Roger Léger.

It was directed by our very own Andrzej Dragan. It’s weird and utterly dislocating.
