ANTHROPOCENE: THE HUMAN EPOCH

Third in a trilogy that includes Manufactured Landscapes (2006) and Watermark(2013), the film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group who, after nearly 10 years of research, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth.

CHIEN DE GARDE

JP lives with his brother Vincent, his mother Joe and his girlfriend Mel in a small apartment in Verdun. Constantly on a tightrope, JP tries to keep a balance between the many needs of his family that he feels responsible for, his work collector he does with his brother and his duties in the small drug cartel of his uncle Dany that he considers a father.
