NMFF: St-Martyrs-des-Damnés

Date:

Quebec has a very healthy entertainment industry and perhaps is the only place in North America where the box-office hasn’t slipped – this is thanks to many films from several genres. Check out the red carpet pics below.

Saints-Martyrs-des-Damnés sees a journalist who finds himself in a place where it’s hard to know strange leaves off and the supernatural begins. Before long his own photographer goes missing and he encounters a series of weird characters, among them the ghost of a young woman who died on her wedding day. The journalist is drawn into a mysterious world where the notion of identity, including his own, is put into question.

Chénier and Isabelle Blais
