19:00 Letters From Wolf Street*
(1) Memorial Continuum
Malcom Odd | 2025 | French | S.T French

Memorial Continuum recounts the friendship and complicity of two artists as they lead us into the heart of the Island of Montréal (Tiohtià:ke). Manuel Mathieu, a Haitian contemporary artist on the rise, unfolds his abstract public artworks shaped by major upheavals. In the intimacy of their exchanges, the gaze of his protégé, artist Malcom Odd, is reshaped and transformed, redefining the metropolis and its iconic mountain. Together, they invite us to explore a living space of memory, encounter, and fractures, where each gesture and each trace resonates between past and future, and where the strength of the whole arises from the richness of its fragments.

(2) Letters From Wolf Street
Arjun Talwar | 2025 | Polish | S.T French

Through a tender gaze and with a healthy dose of humour, a filmmaker from an immigrant background paints a nuanced portrait of the microcosm that animates his street in Warsaw.
