“Watching social purpose documentaries in-community and connecting with producers, other industry leaders, and audiences at festivals is particularly special. A panelist today talked about the value of films with both 'gravitas and joy' which strikes me as something we need more of.
Many thanks to the Hot Docs team and volunteers for facilitating this great gathering - including the fantastic as always Pitch Forum!”
— Leah Camenzind, TELUS Fund Executive Director at Hot Docs

Elles ont perdu leur temps de glace. Elles ont créé quelque chose de plus grand.

Les Furies — la première comédie sportive québécoise portée par des femmes — suit des athlètes qui refusent d’être mises de côté. Produit et réalisé par des femmes, le film met en lumière la détermination, la communauté et la résilience.

Le projet a généré 6,2 millions de vues en seulement quatre mois. Les sondages montrent que les auditoires étaient fortement enclins à partager leurs expériences sur les réseaux sociaux, à suivre les actrices et les créatrices, et à promouvoir activement le film au sein de leurs communautés. (source : @Screen_Miner )

Félicitations à l’équipe créative derrière Les Furies pour cette réussite remarquable.

They lost their ice time. They built something bigger.

Les Furies — Quebec’s first female-driven sports comedy — follows female athletes who refuse to be sidelined. Produced and directed by women, the film highlights determination, community, and resilience.

The project has earned 6.2 million views in just four months. Surveys
show audiences were eager to share their experiences on social media,
follow the performers and creators, and actively promote the film within their own communities. (source: @Screen_Miner )

Congratulations to the creative team behind Les Furies on this remarkable achievement.
