Sombre secret par Maëlle Lafortune et Justin Laverdière [École Notre-Dame]
Commentaires du jury
" Si le récit nous laisse un peu sur notre faim avec sa finale 'À suivre', le film reste empreint d'un beau désir de raconter une histoire et de faire du cinéma. "
-Jean-François Caissy
"The strength of this film is in the dialogue between the two characters and the timing of their movements. I also think the cuts between shots are very nice and smooth. I love the decor of the film; It's simple, but it works. The art direction of the cemetery is fabulous! This film is playful, but in the end, it is also quite scary. I look forward to the sequel! Well done! "

Salade de taco par Kayleigh Parsons et Laurie Gosselin [College Sainte-Anne]
Commentaires du jury
"Bel utilisation du stop motion. On sens bien le désir de jouer avec le spectateur. "
-Jean-François Caissy
"This is very nicely done. The stop motion animation is wonderful, the colours are great and in the end, the Taco Salad looks delicious! It's a very solidly put-together film with good editing and camera work. It is also endearingly playful, like when the avocado is pushed away from the pit and the bowls move around. Play is an important ingredient in film, and Taco Salad does it beautifully. Well done! "

Perdre le fil par Océane Vuong, Sofia Bernal et Sabrina Dumitrescu [Villa Sainte-Marcelline]
Commentaires du jury
" Le concept réussi d'emblée à piquer la curiosité. La chute est un peu abrupte mais fonctionne quand même. "
-Jean-François Caissy
" I loved the composition and variety of shots in this film even though there is not much variety in the protagonist's actions. It creates a nice suspense, like we really are on that journey with her, winding up the thread. I thought the actor's face was very expressive. I would have liked a happier ending, but I know that is often not how it is :) Nice work!"
-Torill Kove
" Une très belle idée, simple, mais très efficace."
