Filmmaker's note
NAISSANCES was nominated in the CANADA'S TOP TEN 2009 (BEST CANADIAN SHORT FILMS SECTION) "Anne Émond has created a perfect short film. It's masterfully rendered and seamlessly directed and from opening frame to closing image you can't help but feel you're in the hands of a master storyteller. The artistry seems so simple, so effortless... but like a perfect short story or a heart-broken ballad you can play on endless repeat, you just don't want it to end. More please. - Shane Belcourt (Panel Statement)
