Movies by Martin Watier
Polytechnique
A dramatization of the Montreal Massacre of 1989 where several female engineering students were murdered by an unstable misogynist.
The Trenches
This animated short by Claude Cloutier is a pictorial account of an attack on Canadian soldiers during WWI. On the edge of the battlefield, recruits are dreading the order to attack. At the signal, a young soldier leaps into a hell of fire and blood where the earth engulfs both the living and the dead. Blending archival images and Cloutier’s hypnotizing brushstroke, the film is a dazzling illustration of the futility of war.
Kitty & the Viper
In the futuristic city of Nouveau San Francisco, a hard-boiled hero "the Viper" and his rage fuelled pet partner "Kitty", will attempt to stop an egomaniacal industrialist "the Jackal" from an evil plan to create a pollution apocalypse.
