Camille Cyr-Desmarais

Two girl pen pals and a simple summer in the country. They befriend a woman rumored to be a witch, and end up as amateur detectives when her pet pig is stolen.

Part way between documentary, fiction and video art, LA BETE NOIRE is an experimental film that tells a story in which control and violence colour a love affair in deep black hues.

The show is a glimpse into the whirlwind life of a teenager with serious reservations about the adult world. In the courses of his adventures, a multitude of eccentric characters pull him in all directions in search of his identity: a psychotic psychologist, an extremely odd best friend, an exotic lady immune to his charms, fashion trends devotees, and a horror film aficionado.
