We are an independent production company

based in Gatineau, Quebec.

We accompany artistic and cinematic creation processes from an artisanal and collaborative perspective. We support projects that intertwine the intimate and the political, embracing a decolonial approach and a practice of exchange with artists from diverse backgrounds.

José Antonio Guayasamin

Filmmaker and researcher whose work explores the boundaries between documentary and fiction through an ethical and poetic lens. His films engage with questions of memory, identity, and the representation of peripheral voices.

His works have been shown at over forty international festivals and art venues, including Bafici, Huelva, Trieste, Toulouse, Havana, and the Palais de Tokyo.Combining research-creation with a decolonial and collaborative approach to cinema, he develops projects that weave affect, archival material, and intergenerational dialogue.
