V1VF
Montreal, summer 2020. Four young filmmakers are put off by a lawless film industry. Feeling chained by an environment no longer giving any freedom, and where no one any longer respects the rules of the 7th art, Anthony Coveney, François Lalonde, Miguel Lambrt and Charles-Antoine Olivier see themselves induced by a creative impulse forcing them to found the cinema collective V1VF. Together, they have only one goal in mind: to restore cinema to its essence and purity. Now hunted to death for leaving the traditional film industry, the quartet fights relentlessly for their own survival, but above all, that of a noble cinema that raises awareness. Their quadryptique Le temps d'un spleen is their first opus bringing together 4 short films produced by each of the filmmakers. This first collective work is already beginning to disrupt the world of contemporary cinema by destroying the dogmas anchored in postmodern culture.
