Le Pardon (French w/English Subtitles) – Film – 5:00
Canadian Premiere
Dir. Margarethe Baillou, France, United States

Synopsis: Set in late 19th century New Orleans, LE PARDON portrays an unusual dialog between a man and a woman: he is heard but not seen, and she is seen but never speaks. A ghostly fictional short film, it is a tale of forgiveness and the art of listening, a poem about an almost encounter and an hommage to the Crescent City. French with English subtitles.

Chasing Bonnie & Clyde – Documentary – 87:00 (in English)
Canadian Premiere
Dir. Olivier Lambert, Dir. Thomas Salva, France
*Nominated for Best Foreign Film, Best Documentary Feature, Best French Film, Best Editing

Synopsis: When Texas Gets Smart-on-Crime! In this era of Great Recession, the conservative and tough-on-crime State of Texas takes an unexpected, unprecedented path by becoming a social justice leader with programs that rehabilitate young offenders. Rape, abuse and death are no longer in the cards for modern-day prisoners, especially those that idolized Bonnie and Clyde – who lived or died trying to make a name for themselves through crimes of robbery and murder.  Today’s young offenders, thanks to some Texan prison reform innovators, now have a second chance.
