Guillaume Gagnon Lortie
A poet, filmmaker, and interdisciplinary artist, Guillaume Gagnon Lortie creates a high-tension body of work that blends ecstasy, fragility, and the dangers of the world. He tirelessly explores the meaning of the sacred, the beauty of vertigo, and the word as a potential site of redemption. From his books (published by Pas de vagues) to his films and performances, he pursues a quest for the absolute: to create a contemporary liturgy of life, between disaster and transfiguration. His work is part of a deeply embodied exploration, where love and faith become acts of survival, spiritual imperatives, and a way of holding reality at arm’s length, even as it burns.
Eve Aubert
Eve Aubert is a Quebec actress, writer, and director. Rooted in the intimate, her practice is distinguished by an attentive gaze focused on the human experience, the poetry of gestures, the presence of bodies, and the vulnerabilities that run through us. Through her projects, she asserts a personal artistic approach marked by great formal delicacy and a reflection on the sacred, memory, and intergenerational bonds. Sister to actor and director Robin Aubert, she continues a strong artistic lineage while developing a unique and resolutely contemporary voice.
