For its 18th programme, DJ XL5 unfolds a kaleidoscope of short films, interspersing them with bursts of static, film clips and other cultural samples to simulate a festive evening of TV-watching with the gang. In total, 26 short films from all over the world are included. This programme marks the return of numerous friends and co-conspirators of DJ XL5. The emblematic SIMON'S CAT by English filmmaker Simon Tofield comes back with two short films to make the crowd meow, and Spain’s David Muñoz celebrates THE LAST CHRISTMAS OF THE UNIVERSE, making its Canadian premiere (3rd part of a trilogy composed of BRUTAL RELAX, 2010, and FIST OF JESUS, 2012). This party also sees a new contributions from Sydney Clara Brafman (USA) with the world premiere of CLAUSTROPHOBIA, England’s Lee Hardcastle with PINGU'S THE THING (aka THINGU), and Rémi Fréchette with BUMS - REMAKE D'UN FAIT DIVERS (YOLANDE OUELLET). This programme also celebrates the return of some more recent American friends, Trent Shy with THE EXORCISM and FRANKY TAKES A PICNIC, and Cressa Beer with the charming TRICK-R-TREAT!

Straight from Germany, witness the international premiere of the intriguing FORGETTABLE MAN by the duo David Schuster & David Wunderlich. From Austria, Leon Stanislawski shares an amusing self-portrait, HELLO, I AM LEON. France sends us two delirious existential animations, SERVICE APRES VIE (Canadian premiere) and TALES FROM THE MULTIVERSE (Montreal premiere). The Netherlands offers the zany SHINY NEW WORLD by Jan van Gorkum (North American premiere). The United Kingdom surprises us twice, with MAN OR TREE by writer/director duo Parralel Madness, a world premiere, and SPECIAL DELIVERY by John McPhail. From our neighbours to the south, we welcome Andrew Kasch's funny HALLOWEEN IS CANCELLED, Craig Low's disturbing DON'T TOUCH (international premiere) and Brian Olliver's funny I AM NOT A ROBOT (Canadian premiere). Closer to home, discover I ROBOT? by Anthony Korkidakis (World Premiere). Louis-David Jutras shares MES PEURS NOIRES, a Montreal premiere, and there are also BILL N BACK by Olivier Brisson, MORTS DE RIRE by Maxime Lehmann, SOUND LAB by Nicolas Bertrand and TASTY by Jack Brayer. Éric Lavoie, who hypnotized you last year with WHAT GOES UP... is back with a new collage, the humanist THE RESHAPE OF WATER in its world premiere. Finally, in the creation of this program, DJ XL5 is grateful for the support of DJ Baragon, Daphnée 4000, DJ Cipaille, DJ Sans Sauce and TIND.
