  • Dazzling Other-Worldly New Sci-Fi Fantasy Film, Mars Et Avril, the Impossible Movie Debuts Exclusively on Gaiam TV
    January 8, 2014 Dazzling Other-Worldly New Sci-Fi Fantasy Film, Mars et Avril, The Impossible Movie Debuts Exclusively On Gaiam TV French Canadian Filmmaker Uses Innovative Techniques to Achieve Mesmerizing Cosmic Visuals on a Stunningly Low Budget BOULDER, Colo., Jan. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mars et Avril, the impossible movie, takes creative artistry to a new level as the director, Martin Villeneuve, adapts his two culturally acclaimed sci-fi romance graphic novels and brings an intricate story, dreamy visuals and out-of-this world score to the screen. A futuristic Montreal sets the scene for the story of a beautifully crafted love triangle interspersed with the dawn of the first human landing on Mars. The technological wizardry of Villeneuve is only matched by the amazing visuals of this provocative story of ageless love. Mars et Avril is now exclusively available in the United States on GaiamTV.com. While most science fiction films of this scope cost tens of millions to produce, Villeneuve only spent $2.3 million in the production. The movie was seven years in the making and required considerable effort from everyone involved. For example, the young filmmaker wanted to involve French Canadian Superstar Robert Lepage but the actor was only available for a few days. He came up with what he calls "creative problem solving" and turned the Lepage character into a hologram. Listen to Villeneuve explain his imaginative process that is mesmerizing audiences in his TED Talk: "How I Made an Impossible Film," earlier this year. Also just released, a 22-minute "Making Of Mars et Avril" with English subtitles, can be viewed HERE.

ABSTRACT Otherworldly Storytellers: The Supernatural, Orality and Postcolonial Melancholia in Non-Indigenous and Indigenous Films in Québec Kester Dyer, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2018 To this day, Québec cinema bears the reputation of a national corpus that shuns the supernatural as means of narrative and formal expression. Indeed, documentary and realist models have long dominated this film tradition. However, surprising incursions of the supernatural have occurred with increasing frequency in Québec films since the late 20th century.
