Matin Ecchymose

Emilie Peltier / 2020 / 7 min. / France / FRENCH, Quebec Sign Language / SUBS FRENCH, ENGLISH

Synopsis

Deaf people from Quebec City meet Queer artist Mo Bolduc and, using the Quebec sign language, interpret some poems written at the Maison de la littérature in March 2020. The film is the result of this encounter, between read texts and their appropriation by Karl Normand, Maritza Côté, Josée Villeneuve and Élisabeth Rhéaume, as powerful and poetic echoes.

Biography

Emilie Peltier is from Lyon (France). After having lived in several countries, she arrived in New Brunswick in 2012. Emilie works in associations and culture, while living according to her usual leitmotiv: observe the life that surrounds her and explore the senses and the arts. She has participated in the Media Arts section of the Festival international du cinéma francophone en Acadie (FICFA) on several occasions. In 2019, screenwriter Mélanie Léger and she co-directed their first short film: 54 North. Matin Ecchymose, created during the summer of 2020, is a more experimental project combining poetry and Deaf culture.
