✨ LOOK BACK - PAST NOMINEES ✨

Patrick Doyon's SUNDAY was nominated in 2012 in the Best Animation Short Film category!

➡️ In keeping with their Sunday tradition, after mass a family flocks to grandma and grandpa’s house, where the chaotic discussion soon begins to resemble a raucous gathering of crows on power lines. The local factory has shut its doors and, naturally, the adults can’t stop fretting about their money woes. On this particular grey Sunday, a young boy drops a coin on some nearby train tracks out of sheer boredom. Picking the coin up after a train has run over it, he discovers to his astonishment that an amazing transformation has taken place...

Sunday, Patrick Doyon’s first film, is a magical tale that imparts important lessons about life as seen through the eyes of a child.

Watch the film now on NFB's website 👉 https://bit.ly/3tRJPwT

Le court métrage DIMANCHE de Patrick Doyon a été nommé en 2012 dans la catégorie du Meilleur court métrage d'animation !

➡️ Ce court métrage d'animation raconte l'histoire d'un jeune garçon qui, pour chasser son ennui du dimanche, place des pièces de monnaie sous le passage du train. Son expérience prendra toutefois une étonnante tournure.

Adoptant le point de vue de l’enfant, Dimanche de Patrick Doyon est un dessin animé aux traits naïfs, un clin d’œil amusant sur la façon de briser la monotonie de ces dimanches gris.

⭐️ Producer and actress Lili Reinhart and Small Victory Productions are joining Invincible - Short Film as Executive Producers!

👉 "Through Vincent’s storytelling, I was immediately pulled into our young Marc’s world. I could feel the desperation to escape his pain, even for a second, without considering the permanent consequences. A deeply moving debut for first-time filmmaker Vincent René-Lortie. The film really spoke to me as it touches on a subject matter that is very personal and affects millions of youths around the world. As an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness, it’s critical to put our attention towards media that shines a light on voices that need our support." - Lili Reinhart

You would have guessed it, my shyness equaled my excitement when I learned that Philippe Falardeau had agreed to participate in a Q&A to discuss the making of Invincible. What a beautiful encounter. Thank you, Philippe, for bringing such insightful questions. It’s a moment I won’t soon forget.
