1:54: Yan England

Event Description

The first feature film by Yan England takes us inside a school where the adults have good intentions but are out of touch with some of their students’ ongoing tragedies. Filmed in a school, the movie’s fine cast helps it maintain a sense of truth and believability. Antoine Olivier Pilon (Mommy by Xavier Dolan) delivers another remarkable performance, for which he received the award for best actor at the most recent Festival du film francophone d'Angoulême (France). Since the film’s release it has been sparking discussions and shedding light on important issues, helping us better understand the workings of a world where intimidation is all too often the only law.
