A Rainbow to Turtle Island

This portrait showcases artist Robbie Tait Jr. and demonstrates the transformative power of art. It introduces his project, Turtle Island Handbook, born from the desire to convey his culture and family heritage through his drawings. It also addresses the political aspect of his art through Rainbow Tears, inspired by the story of political prisoner Leonard Peltier. 

Madeleine

Every week, two friends born 67 years apart share their life stories in the lounge of a retirement home. The younger one convinces the 107-year-old to join her on a road trip to the sea. 

Claude

Claude, an octogenarian, finds his daily life boring in his small bedroom. Yet behind his bitterness lies a humorous philosopher and a forgotten artist. This short film explores the moving relationship between illness, art and memory.
