TOUS POUR UN, UN POUR TOUS
Four young fencers (Luc Rocheleau, Stephen Angers, Benoît Giasson and Nicolas Bergeron) dream of competing in the Barcelona Olympic Games. The film crew followed these athletes for a number of months during the foil qualification tournament round, recording their disappointments, triumphs and tenacity. Drawing a lighthearted parallel between these four fencers and Alexandre Dumas' Three Musketeers, the filmmaker, like the writer, takes an interest in the bonds of friendship they have developed over the years.

ST-JÉRÔME
This action film is a social statement on technological changes and their effect on a small town. Saint-Jérôme is going through a serious socio-economic downturn, as are other neighbouring towns. Townsfolk from all walks of life rally together in a massive effort to find a solution. The way in which the film reflects the town’s status at the outset, and then points the way to constructive action, it becomes an instrument for mediation between technology and those who must grudgingly accept it-–a means of participating in the restructuring of society.

OUT STORIES OF GAY AND LESBIAN YOUTH
OUT is an intimate exploration of the struggles and victories of gay and lesbian youth in Canada. Delving into the emotional, societal and familial conflicts lesbian and gay youth often face, this film breaks the damaging silence surrounding sexual orientation and sexual differences. Through explicit interviews with gay and lesbian youth from varied cultural and racial heritages, issues of discrimination as well as the compounding problems of confronting racism and sexism are sensitively addressed. Out provides awareness, understanding and hope--to gay and lesbian youth, parents, counselors and educators.
