The documentary program always holds surprises. it astound and reveal reality’s hidden face. It teaches us to take another look at what we think we’ve always seen. These films rediscover resplendent Haitian dancing, Japanese sexual naivety, the beauty of trees in Switzerland’s forests at the end of their lives, the wackiness of a Serbian village and the raw portrait of a doped up and lucid homeless Montréaler.

They share a bond between filmmakers and their subjects, their will to make us hear the beating heart behind the camera. Pierre Perrault said that documentaries bind us to what we film for the rest of our days.
