Off Set 2018 TIFF Portrait Series: The Fireflies Are Gone (La disparition des lucioles)

Date:

An official selection at the Karlovy Vary, Sébastien Pilote‘s The Fireflies Are Gone (La disparition des lucioles) would receive its North American showcase at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival (it won TIFF’s Best Canadian Film) a week prior to premiering domestically in Quebec. We’ve come to know the filmmaker via his previous pair in the Sundance selected The Salesman (2011) and Cannes selected The Auction (2013) and with his third film inspired by Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Where have all the Fireflies Gone? text, we receive small town ennui broadly represented by the quotidian witnessed in Karelle Tremblay (2015 TIFF Rising Star) and Pierre-Luc Brillant‘s characters. Here is our photo shoot with the filmmaker and his players.
