“The subject matter is going to stay with me,” reveals “Frimas” writer and director Marianne Farley. For our recent webchat, she continues, “You’re writing it, then you have to finance it and shoot it, as well and promote it. I really have to feel like I’m contributing somehow to society. That’s something that’s gonna stay with me forever.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
“Frimas” is set at a time when getting an abortion has become a criminal offense. Kara (Karine Gonthier-Hyndman) seeks out the services of an illegal mobile abortion clinic from a meat truck. The film has been shortlisted at the 2022 Oscars for Best Live Action Short Film. It’s a category Farley was nominated for “Marguerite” in 2019. She says, “In all my films I’m really close to the characters. I always approach it through their perspective. We use a lot of telephoto lenses.

Short film predictions are often the hardest for the average office Oscars pool participant, and unfortunately the experts usually don’t fare much better. And of the three shorts categories, the live action short is usually the biggest wild card. While animated and documentary shorts have benefitted in recent years from growing online audiences, traditional narrative shorts tend to remain the domain of film festivals — at least until Oscar season. That said, this year’s shortlist offers an array of narrative shorts from both emerging and established filmmakers, some with festival recognition and others little known until now. This year’s crop is refreshingly international, with only one American film in the bunch, making the spread even harder to decipher.
That distinction goes to Kd Dávila’s futuristic prison satire “Please Hold,” about a wrongful arrest that takes a young man through a Kafkaesque techno hellscape. Even without the home country advantage,...

“Orange is the New Black’s” Uzo Aduba and Meynon Media’s Dan DeNicola have boarded Marianne Farley’s “Frimas” as executive producers, Variety can reveal.
The live action short, which stars Karine Gonthier-Hyndman (“Patrick Senécal présente”) and Chantal Baril (“White Skin”), tells the story of Kara, who turns to an illegal mobile abortion clinic when she finds herself pregnant in a country where abortion is banned with devastating consequences.
Farley (pictured above right), whose live action short ‘Marguerite’ was nominated for an Academy Award, also wrote the screenplay.
Emmy and SAG-winning Aduba (pictured above left) is best known for her roles in “Orange is the New Black,” “In Treatment” and “Mrs America” alongside Cate Blanchett. “Frimas” marks her debut behind the camera. Earlier this year she launched a production company, Meynon Media, signing a multi-year producing deal with CBS Studios.

The frost is everywhere: in the air, on the concrete, clinging to the wall by which Kara (Karine Gonthier-Hyndman) waits. Everything, even her clothing, reflects its chill in shades of white and grey – all but for a red scarf. In the meat truck, when it arrives, she will be given a red blanket to keep her warm during the operation.
Set in a not-so-distant future where abortion is illegal under all circumstances, Marianne Farley’s Oscar-qualifying short explores the alternatives that desperate people turn to. Kara doesn’t want her pregnancy to end but given her circumstances she feels she has no choice. Because her husband is strongly in favour of the new law, she daren’t tell him what she’s doing, leaving her isolated and vulnerable. Although the people helping her are competent and committed, they can’t offer her the support she really needs. They might not even be able to.

A moody, clenched drama that works its tension so deep you may find your palms marked with the indentations of your fingernails by the end, “Les Nôtres” is the deeply uneasy but compelling second film from director Jeanne Leblanc (“Isla Blanca”). Illuminated by a powerfully self-possessed performance by Émilie Bierre as the 13-year-old whose pregnancy will have dire consequences for all except the pedophile responsible, this is an enraging film astringent enough to peel the paint from the façade of virtue propped up by the small-town Quebecois community in which it takes place.
Pretty, popular Magalie (Bierre) and her little brother are being raised by her mother Isabelle (Marianne Farley) after her father died in an industrial tragedy for which the town of Sainte-Adeline is still in mourning. Isabelle is helped out by best friend Chantale, who happens to be married to the mayor and Isabelle’s employer, Jean-Marc...

Emilie Bierre as Magalie in Les Nôtres
A close-knit small town community in Quebec. The shocking discovery that a 13-year-old girl is pregnant. A tide of accusations and condemnations which brings all sorts of unpleasant things to the surface. Jeanne Leblanc’s bruising new drama, Les Nôtres (aka Our Own), is hardly the first film to have addressed subject matter like this, but it’s rare in its perceptiveness about what it’s really like for a young teenager to face such struggles, and it features an astonishing central performance by Emilie Bierre. When I met Jeanne she opened our conversation by saying that she thinks a female perspective really brings something different to the mix.
“This is a three woman movie. Marianne Farley, who is playing the mom, also co-produced and Judith (Baribeau) co-wrote. And I think the first idea comes from Marianne. It came with this real story,...

It takes a village. That’s what close, tight-knit communities like Sainte-Adeline, Quebec, say when asked how they can confront and conquer tough circumstances. With that sense of togetherness, however, comes a cliquish sensibility of superiority. They survive because they have each other. They survive because they’re vigilant and always watching to see where and when their help is required to pick someone up. It’s how they got through a horrible construction-site tragedy years prior that claimed too many friends and families’ lives. They picked up the slack, opened their homes, and came out the other side. It’s also how they vindictively turned thirteen-year-old Magalie Jodoin’s (Emilie Bierre) life upside-down upon discovering she was too far along with an unplanned pregnancy to terminate.
Director Jeanne Leblanc and co-writer Judith Baribeau pull no punches in portraying the malicious underbelly of the town at the center of Les nôtres.

"What are you hiding from me?" Oscope Labs has released a new US trailer for an indie "social suspense" film titled Les Nôtres, the second feature from Quebecois filmmaker Jeanne Leblanc. The film originally premiered at the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma Festival, and won Best Narrative Feature at the Santa Fe Film Festival last year. Our Own is about 13-year-old Magalie, who will have no choice but to take back the reins of her own life. Against all odds. Played by Emilie Bierre, Magalie is a popular blonde teen who's keeping a shocking secret: she's pregnant. But when she refuses to identify the real father, suspicions among the townsfolk come to a boiling point and the layers of a carefully maintained social varnish eventually crack. It "astutely unearths the racism that lurks under the surface of seemingly-woke white suburbia." Also with Marianne Farley, Judith Baribeau, and Paul Doucet. A riveting discovery...

Oscar nominee Marianne Farley is set to direct her first full-length feature film North of Albany. The film begins production next week in Quebec.
Farley also co-wrote the film with her producing partner Benoît Beaulieu. They will produce under their banner Slykid & Skykid. Sodec and Telefilm Canada will finance.
The film revolves around the daughter of a single mom who becomes responsible for a fatal accident at school. The family flees but gets stranded in the Adirondacks, where they bond with a local mechanic who helps them confront the real reasons they’re on the run.
This marks Farley’s first feature since earning an Oscar nom in 2019 for Best Live Action Short Film for Marguerite. Her other work includes the short film Saccage, which was also selected for several film festivals.
A cinematographer-turned-producer, some of Farley’s past credits include Mars & Avril, Night Song and Turbo Kid.

The year’s biggest night in movies is officially here.
In the running for the evening’s biggest prize, best picture, are “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Green Book,” “Roma,” “Vice,” “The Favourite” “Black Panther,” “BlacKkKlansman,” and “A Star Is Born.”
Best actress contenders include first-time nominee Yalitza Aparicio, Olivia Colman, Melissa McCarthy, Glenn Close, and Lady Gaga. Close has won the Golden Globe and SAG Award for her role in “The Wife,” so all eyes will be on her to see if she can pull in her first win in seven nominations.
Leading men Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Rami Malek, Viggo Mortensen, and Willem Dafoe are in consideration for the coveted prize of best actor, with Malek favored in predictions.
The night marks a rare instance in which the awards are going without a host in the wake of Kevin Hart’s departure following backlash over his homophobic remarks that were resurfaced from years ago.

The big night is finally here. All of the precursors, predictions, speculation, and overall insanity has led to this. The 91st Academy Awards are only a few hours away. By the end of the night, we won’t be guessing what the telecast will be like, and more importantly, we’ll have a whole new crop of Oscar winners. I’ve spent almost a full year trying to figure this race out, which is perhaps the most unpredictable in memory. It all comes down to this. There’s nothing left to do but sit back and try to enjoy the craziness we’ll undoubtedly experience this evening. One more time, the Academy Award nominees: Best Picture: “Black Panther” “BlacKkKlansman” “Bohemian Rhapsody” “The Favourite” “Green Book” “Roma” “A Star Is Born” “Vice” Lead Actor: Christian Bale, “Vice” Bradley Cooper, “A Star Is Born” Willem Dafoe, “At Eternity’s Gate” Rami Malek,...

The Academy skewed dark in its choice of live-action shorts this year, selecting four films to slit your wrists by — each one featuring child endangerment in a different form — and a fifth, about a diabetic on her death bed, that finds a glimmer of uplift at the other end of life. If that sounds like a complaint, think again: All too often, the Academy falls for either lightweight comedic shorts or over-earnest social-issue dramas, whereas this lot consists of several genuinely well-tooled micro-thrillers. It’s just a lot to stomach in a single, two-hour sitting.
The theatrical program opens with Spanish director Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s Goya-winning “Madre,” which begins with a slow pan of an empty beach — meaningless at first, but setting the stage for a parental nightmare that plays out entirely in the audience’s imagination. Like Gustav Möller’s nail-biting Danish feature “The Guilty,” this short conjures an...

The shorts and animation branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences chose its final five from 140 qualifying films. In order to qualify for Oscar contention, shorts have to win an award at an eligible film festival. Last year’s winner, for example, Chris Overton and Rachel Shenton’s “The Silent Child,” debuted at the Rhode Island International Film Festival before going on to win the Academy Award.
Many Academy voters don’t catch up with these shorts from emerging filmmakers around the world until they’re nominated. This year’s five contenders hail from four countries, and deal with a disturbing range of dark subjects, often involving children in jeopardy.
Irish director Vincent Lambe’s controversial, true-life drama, “Detainment,” focuses on the shocking 1993 Liverpool murder of a toddler by two 10-year-old boys, who are interrogated by skeptical police.

Chicago – There are four films among the five Oscar-nominated Live Action Shorts for 2019 that have childhood in their theme, and they all are telling about situations in the more in-your-face dark circumstances of life today. The Landmark Century Centre Cinema in Chicago are currently showing all the shorts in one program. Click here for more information.
Rating: 5.0/5.0
The only film that has a bit of light in it is “Marguerite’ (Canada) which deals with a relationship between a caregiver and her elder woman patient, who reveals a secret. The other four films – “Detainment” (Ireland/Britain), “Fauve” (Canada), “Madre” (Spain) and “Skin” (USA) – all have children as major characters in our world where too much is happening, both to them and the adults around them. In the needle-in-the-haystack of short films that compete for awards from all around the world, it is somewhat shocking that 80% spotlight childhood trauma.

Each of the multi-award winning narrative shorts (40 minutes and under running time) explores a somber theme. Directors hail from Canada, Europe and Israel with one U.S.-made entry (“Skin”). Members of the Academy’s Short Films and Feature Animation Branch determined the shortlist and nominees, culled from 140 qualifying entries. Academy rules dictate that only voters who’ve seen all five films are eligible to vote in this category.
Detainment
Childhood’s darkest possibilities are explored in three of the films. “Detainment,” directed, written and produced by Dublin-based Vincent Lambe, along with producer Darren Mahon, is rooted in a true story and utilizes verbatim police transcripts, as two 10-year-old murder and kidnapping suspects are questioned in the notorious 1993 U.K. crime. The subject remains sensitive and controversial 25 years on. “I wanted to make sense of what happened in order to prevent it in the future,” says Lambe, who also works...

In the run-up to the Oscars, you may well have already seen all of the contenders — except for those in the shorts categories. Now’s your chance, with the 2019 Oscar Nominated Short Films program, to catch up on these underrated contenders before the office Oscar ballots come around.
They may not have big-name stars or auteur directors behind them, but several of these mini-movies are as effective as a Best Picture nominee when it comes to working on your emotions and leaving you thinking long after their credits roll. And if there’s ever a title that’s not working out for you, a new short will soon follow in its place, like revolving appetizers at a reception.
The shorts are divided into three categories of five titles each: Live Action, Documentary and Animation. Those in the Live Action competition are generally some of the heaviest, most dramatic shorts from filmmakers around the world.

At last year’s Oscars women represented 23.73% of the nominees in the 20 non-gender specific categories. Forty-seven women numbered among the contenders in 17 races. They were shut out of Original Score (5 men), Sound Editing (9 men) and Visual Effects (20 men). By comparison, 151 men other than actors were nominated. Four women won Oscars as did 32 men.
This year, 53 women other than actresses are nominated at the 91st Academy Awards. With 159 men in contention, this means that women make up 25% of the nominees in the non-gender specific categories. This uptick came despite women being shut out of five races this year.
Besides score (5 men again) and visual effects (20 men again), women are not represented in Best Director (5 men), Cinematography (5 men) and Film Editing (5 men).
This year, one category — Costume Design — is guaranteed to have a woman win as they make up the entire slate. Women outnumber men in three categories — Makeup and Hairstyling, Documentary...

The complete list of nominees for the 91st Academy Awards was announced early Tuesday morning, with Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross hosting. The list is led by a slew of well-deserved nominations for The Favourite (10) and Rome (10). Here is the complete list of Oscar nominations.
Every year, it seems as if films just get better and better, with actors, actresses, directors, and crewmembers raising the bar to extraordinary new heights. For over 90 years, the Academy Awards has been the main source of accommodating those achievements with their illustrious golden statue and the prestige of being known as an "Academy Award-winner". For some, though, just being nominated is a special accolade, in and of itself.

Taking an unfortunate cue from the Golden Globes, this morning’s Oscar nominations arrived with nary a nomination for a female filmmaker in the Best Director category or a nod for a female-directed film in the Best Picture category. While few female directors managed to break through the noise of Oscars buzz in the run-up to the nomination announcement, a number of female filmmakers have already earned major awards buzz this season, including Debra Granik, Tamara Jenkins, and Lynne Ramsay, who all earned Best Director nods from the Indie Spirit Awards, which takes place the day before the Academy Awards.
The Oscar noms did single out a handful of female-directed films, including Nadine Labaki’s Best Foreign Language Film contender “Capernaum,” which was also nominated at the Golden Globes. The Best Documentary race also includes a pair of films directed or co-directed by women, with both Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi’s...
