Oublie pas le gruau (Don’t Forget the Oatmeal)
You've never seen anything like this before: There's a man named The Barbarian who's been cursed to work at a thrift shop for his crimes. Casual ghosts. An alcoholic special-ed teacher. Fatal erections. A Martial Arts Fight that may result in the end of the world… All these surreal threads come together beautifully in Writer/Director Olivier Godin’s newest feature, Oublie pas le gruau (Don't Forget the Oatmeal), a sweetly hallucinatory tale of a man looking for meaning in his life before it all ends. Beautifully shot, cleverly funny, and sneakily moving, it’s got the low-stakes charm of About Schmidt alongside the gentle fantasies of Bergman’s Wild Strawberries.

Night of the Zoopocalypse
After a mysterious meteor crashes at Colepepper Zoo, unlikely friends Dan, a short-tempered mountain lion, and Gracie, a fierce teenage wolf, team up to stop the unleashed virus that is transforming their friends into “zoombies”.
Chock-full of both scares and laughs, this gorgeously animated family-friendly horror-comedy is fun for kids and adults alike.
“In a world dominated by Pixar and Dreamworks, Night of the Zoopocalypse is a fun reminder that other studios produce good work, and there’s never been a better time to go to the movies and support a Canadian production.” – Matthew Simpson, That Shelf
