Avant la mort
Avant la mort is a musical documentary directed by Edgar Fritz that delves into the creative process of the band Enfants Sauvages.
The short film follows the members of the group as they develop and produce their punk opera Avant la mort, an ambitious and unconventional performance created to bring their third album to the stage.
Through immersive footage and privileged behind-the-scenes access, the documentary explores the transformation of an album into a complete stage work, where music, staging, and performance come together to create an experience that is both intimate and explosive. Avant la mort captures the unique show presented in Québec City in the summer of 2025.
Hex
Set in Norway’s legendary black metal scene, Hex follows three young women— Nikoline, Victoria, and Johanna—who form the band Witch Club Satan without knowing how to play a single instrument. Bond by a three-year pact, they commit to becoming witches and musicians, using black metal to unleash raw, female power. But as the band gains momentum, it also gains a will of its own, testing their unity, values, and vision of freedom. Haunted by the echoes of historical witch trials, the film asks: what does it mean to be a free woman today—and are we still condemning witches to silence?
