A first teaser has been unveiled for Canadian filmmaker Pier-Philippe Chevigny’s debut feature “Temporaries” (“Richelieu”), which will bow at the Tribeca Festival foll…
The film follows Ariane , who moves back home to the Richelieu Valley after a breakup and gets a job as an interpreter for seasonal migrant workers in a factory. Witnessing workplace abuses perpetrated by Stephane , the factory’s aggressive supervisor, Ariane must decide how far she is willing to go to speak out against injustice.
Chevigny grew up in the Richelieu Valley in Quebec and observing migrant workers there informed the film. “My first feature aims to question the image of Canada as a perfect, injustice-free country. Launching at Tribeca, Karlovy Vary and Fantasia matters because it gives the weight of international attention to that criticism: it’s harder to ignore the noise when the rest of the world is showing concern,” Chevigny toldThe film is produced by Geneviève Gosselin G.
co-financed by SODEC, Téléfilm, Eurimages, Fonds Harold Greenberg, Conseil Des Arts Et Des Lettres Du Québec, SACD, Région Bretagne In Partnership with the CNC, Universciné and Radio-Canada.: “Pier-Philippe is one of my earliest collaborators and we were lucky to be surrounded by experienced partners TS Productions, JPL Films and Be For Films for his first feature.
Pamela Leu of Be For Films added: “Working with a first time director has always been inspiring. We are very proud and excited to bring Pier-Philippe Chevigny’s singular and resonant debut film to the upcoming Tribeca FF and Karlovy Vary FF later this summer.”
