Film Description:
"Claire is a young photographer who's having a tough time making it through the winter. She's been through a bad breakup, and she's gnawed by her fears about her future. And there's also the fear that a space capsule that's tumbling to Earth will fall on her. Fantasy, strangeness, uneasy lightness, long takes—upside down, slowed down, point-of-view. For her first fictional feature, Sophie Bédard Marcotte [...] takes a uniquely personal tone in this funny, offbeat and intimate story of a young woman who's very much of her time."

Notes about Claire l'hiver

Quote by the Director [in French]

"On a fait Claire l'hiver avec une bourse en scénarisation que j'ai eue à la SODEC. Avec Caroline Galipeau, la productrice, on s'est dit : « Go, on fait tout le film avec ça. » Sinon il y aurait eu le risque que persone ne le finance en production, et je sentais que c'était déjà difficile à faire passer..."
