Film Description:
"Impetus: a Latin word meaning impulse, motive power. A Montreal-based filmmaker is trying to make her next film in New York, but life gets in the way and the whole project takes an unexpected turn. Heartbreak, a disappeared actor, the love of music, an existential crisis... Constantly switching between documentary and fiction, Jennifer Alleyn's new film is inventive and unsettling. With its deeply personal side, it can be hard to discern where the film draws the line between reality and fiction. Follow your guides, Pascale Bussières and Emmanuel Schwartz, and experience a profoundly liberated film."
