Eldorado (1995)
CANADA 1995...........Director: Charles Binamé........Cast: Robert Brouillette, Pascale Bussières, James Hyndman .........Eldorado begins at a rapid MTV pace with the disc jockey Lloyd encouraging us to celebrate the night. The night for searching within ourselves. The night for doing everything that has to be done before the dawn, when responsibilities take the upper hand again. A collage of life is presented for us, young people meeting and parting in the bustling city of Montreal. The everyday existence of Mark's girlfriend Lulu is marked by the sorrow she feels after her mother's death. But she tries to follow her passions and impulses in her search for life. The materially well-off Roxan, Loulou's friend, stands open and vulnerable though even she is longing for human contact and life. Rita, who lives with Roxan and who in her own special way has let life drift by, cruises through her life of petty theft, drug dealing and care free joie de vivre. She meets Henriette who copes with emotional and sexual adversity by fantasising her way through everyday life. Eldorado is a living and vibrant film. The director Charles Binamé has tried to make a film using what he calls a "guerrilla technique", i.e. low budget, hand held camera, natural light and with actors improvising around the script. The result is a success. The camera technique shows both movement and beautiful composition. The fine collection of actors give credible, vivid performances. Avant garde composer Francis Dhomont's cello music accompanies the film at various stages, sometimes as mental suffering, sometimes as sexual lust, sometimes as a collection of the city's lights cutting into each other, much like the characters in the film.

Revoir Julie....(Canada 1998, 16 mm, coul., 90 min., v. o. française )
Two childhood friends meet again in the country, after fifteen years of silence. They attempt to take stock of their lives through conversations and a renewed sense of complicity. Gradually, they come to terms with the events that led to their separation.

Le Violon Rouge (aka: Red Violin, The) ....(Canada 1998, 130 min.)
The story of The Red Violin begins in the 17th century in Cremona, Italy, when Nicolo Bussotti, a master violinmaker, creates a perfectly executed violin in honour of the imminent birth of his first-born child. It is of such exquisite refinement that many regard it as his masterpiece. Unfortunately, tragedy befalls the Bussotti family and the violin is left in the hands of fate. The illustrious instrument travels vast distances, on three continents over four centuries, creating a rich tapestry of splendour and seduction, while deeply affecting all those who come into contact with it.
In 17th century Italy, master violinmaker Nicolo Bussotti (Carlo Cecchi) creates his finest work in anticipation of the birth of his first child. When his wife and child die during the birth, Bussotti finishes the violin in a state of profound grief. Over the next three centuries, the instrument travels slowly throughout Europe and eventually to China, inspiring passion and obsession in the life of each successive owner. Finally, the battered violin joins a collection of fine instruments to be auctioned in present-day Montreal. Brought in to appraise the collection, expert Charles Morritz (Samuel L. Jackson) quietly begins to suspect the overlooked violin might be the lost Bussotti masterpiece.

90 minutes, b/w 35mm, French
The tale of a photographer, Pierre, who returns to Montreal after an alarming assignment in Nicaragua only to find that both boyfriend and girlfriend have left him.

Straight for the Heart is adapted from a novel by French author Yves Navarre.

However, he attaches the condition that they conceive the child in a desert, so they depart on a journey to the desert outside Salt Lake City.
