Xavier Dolan's debut feature 'J'ai Tue Ma Mere' (I Killed My Mother) and Chloe Robichaud's 15-minute short film 'Delphine' are two of the greatest films in Canadian history. Join Pendance on April 17th as both films screen live together in downtown Toronto, free to watch for Canada Film Day at the Scotiabank Theatre.

I Killed My Mother (2009) - Loosely autobiographical, this coming-of-age film follows the complicated relationship between a young man Hubert (Dolan) and his mother (Anne Dorval). The film attracted international press attention when it won three awards from the Director's Fortnight program at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

Delphine (2019) - Delphine is a Canadian short drama film, directed by ChloƩ Robichaud and released in 2019.[1] The film centres on Delphine, a young Lebanese Canadian girl who is bullied at her school for being ethnically different, and Nicole, one of her only classmates who sympathizes with her instead of participating.
