Fauve (Jérémy Comte, 2018)

    Fauve

    Jérémy Comte, Canada, 2018, 17’

    In a quarry, two boys become embroiled in a seemingly innocent power game with Mother Nature as their only spectator.

    Bio Jérémy Comte

    Driven by a passion for skateboarding, Jérémy Comte directed his first short documentary, Feel the Hill, at 18. Raised in the countryside and later graduating from Concordia University in Film Production, his connection to nature and his curiosity about the human condition deepened through his travels around the globe. Comte is roused by psychological, raw narratives, finding meaningful connections in poetic imagery. Playing at over 150 festivals and winning over 75 awards, his short film Fauve was nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the 91st Academy Awards.
