Fishmonger

Fishmonger is a delight. A movie that offers absolute surprises at every turn. Musical comedy, monster movie, fantasy story. Fishmonger has it all: sexual pacts, sea creatures and the threat of a soul burning in hell.

Late Night with the Devil

Late Night with the Devil revolves around the remarkable performance by David Dastmalchian (a frequent James Gunn collaborator) as host of the talk show Night Owls with Jack Delroy. The film is presented along the lines of classic vintage found footage joint: a lost recording of a 1977 Halloween episode, where the interviewees are a parapsychologist and a girl who appears to be the only survivor of a mass suicide in a satanic church.

The Lovers

Nothing spoils a romantic dinner like unexplained transformations in the face of one of the members of the couple. But that doesn’t mean that the romance is extinguished. Sometimes you just need a change of wig.

Sweet Juices

A chef and her assistant, also lovers, set out to make the best dumplings they can. But while they’re at it, they could also do with not being arrested for evading fines, rent and other criminal acts. But nothing a juicy dumpling can’t cure.

Rotting in the Sun

A totally sarcastic movie that is not without its incredibly moving moments. Told in a manner reminiscent of a mockumentary, without actually being one, Rotting in the Sun starts by being about a director with suicidal ideations, a tendency to take ketamine and an encounter that can be both amorous and careerist with Instagram personality Jordan Firstman. But everything takes a turn and a sofa is to blame.

Birds Whose Legs Break Off

Have you always wanted to see a short film whose premise is the presentation of increasingly absurd, hilarious and rollicking ways in which birds (and others) become legless? Then this is the movie for you.

Transylvanie

Bram Stoker’s Dracula set in a French neighborhood with a pre-adolescent girl is, perhaps, a simple idea, but the atmosphere created by Rodrigue Huart and the final crescendo gives the film a touch that is as surprising as it is shocking, and a little naughty.

Cobweb

Cobweb is dramatic, hilarious, scary and campy. It’s the story of a director who feels the need to change the ending of his film. Consumed by criticism of his lack of originality, he decides that this last film has to be his masterpiece. The crew is forced to return, including the actors, and the attempt to save the film is made with time constraints, back-and-forth with the censors and all sorts of shenanigans.
