Jade Li (Oh), a vivacious Chinese Canadian, wants to become an actress without upsetting her extremely traditional parents. It’s a balancing act that Jade is finding difficult to achieve. Talking in English, wearing western clothes and going out with non-Asian guys, Jade leads a secret life when she leaves her stuffy-but-warm domestic scene each day. Things come to a head when Mark (Rennie), a white Canadian graduate student, insists on turning their casual fling into something more meaningful. It’s a relationship that Jade’s parents would hate. What should she do?
Sandra Oh won the Best Actress Genie for her performance. The film also won prizes in Vancouver, Berlin and Turin.

Première de classe, Antigone (Ricci) est dans sa dernière année d'école secondaire lorsque deux événements déboussolent toute sa vie: un de ses frères est tué par un policier, l’autre est détenu par la police. Ayant vécu à Montréal depuis son immigration au Canada avec sa famille il y a plus d’une décennie, elle fait maintenant face à un choix très difficile. Si elle décide d’aider son frère emprisonné, elle risque de compromettre son habitation au Canada en plus de menacer son avenir prometteur. Quand son histoire attire l’attention des médias, Antigone devient un symbole pour la liberté et la justice pendant qu’elle doit prendre une décision qui changera sa vie pour toujours.
Inspirée par une tragédie d’il y a plus de 2000 ans, Antigone raconte une histoire qui demeure importante et seyante. Ce fut la soumission canadienne officielle pour le film long-métrage international aux Oscars en 2019.

We all know about the terrible “brutality” of the Arctic seal hunt — or do we? Turns out there are other sides to this story: it's the story of families that need to be fed, the story of a hunting practice that began centuries ago and the story of a tradition that is central to the economy and food security of Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic. Angry Inuk contains a story that’s over 4,000 years old.
The seal hunt is not exactly a laughing matter, but humour and technical savvy go a long way to debunk certain claims. Wryly tackling both misinformation and aggressive appeals to emotion, Inuk filmmaker Arnaquq-Baril equips herself and her community with the powers of social media — and yes, #sealfies — to reframe a controversial topic as a cultural issue in this 2016 Audience Award–winning Hot Docs hit.
“Angry Inuk delivers important information about an issue we tend to think we know everything about, and delivers a powerful emotional punch.”
—Susan G. Cole, NOW Magazine
2006. 85 min. Rated G. English, Inuktitut.
