Les Amours Imaginaires (Heartbeats)
With Heartbeats, Xavier Dolan captures the beautiful absurdity of unrequited love. Two friends fall for the same enigmatic stranger, and their friendship slowly unravels under the weight of fantasy and projection. Stylish, playful, and emotionally raw, the film examines how desire often says more about our own longing than about the person we chase. Dolan’s pop-infused aesthetic turns heartbreak into something both painfully relatable and strangely glamorous.
Director
Xavier Dolan
Dolan is an acclaimed filmmaker and actor, whose films have won over 90 awards internationally. J’ai tué ma mere and Heartbeats both won the Regards Jeunes Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Laurence Anyways won the Queer Palm at Cannes, and Best Canadian Feature at TIFF, and Mommy won the Jury Prize at Cannes, 10 Jutra awards and nine CSAs. He also directed Tom at the Farm, It’s Only the End of the World, Matthias & Maxine, and others.

Oublie pas le gruau (Don’t Forget the Oatmeal)
You've never seen anything like this before: There's a man named The Barbarian who's been cursed to work at a thrift shop for his crimes. Casual ghosts. An alcoholic special-ed teacher. Fatal erections. A Martial Arts Fight that may result in the end of the world… All these surreal threads come together beautifully in Writer/Director Olivier Godin’s newest feature, Oublie pas le gruau (Don't Forget the Oatmeal), a sweetly hallucinatory tale of a man looking for meaning in his life before it all ends. Beautifully shot, cleverly funny, and sneakily moving, it’s got the low-stakes charm of About Schmidt alongside the gentle fantasies of Bergman’s Wild Strawberries.
