Estonia On The Seine
Synopsis
A Parisian bus. Its passengers. Evasive glances, polite silence: the well-regulated codes of cohabitation between travelers, confined together for the duration of a journey. Then an incident, a tiny grain of sand, will disrupt this fragile ecosystem. The tension rises and the thin veneer of civility cracks.

A graduate of the Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL), Roger Gariépy has made his mark in the world of advertising. His career has taken him from Bos advertising agency, where he was a partner, to Tokyo, where he was a member of the creative management committee of the Dentsu group. Inducted into the A2C Hall of Fame (the Association of Quebec Creative Agencies), he is responsible for some memorable advertising campaigns and has left an indelible mark on the industry. Following the sale of his company to the Dentsu group, Roger Gariépy devoted himself to making short films. At the same time, he is the founder and artistic director of the "Court sur Place" short film festival, which presents an annual retrospective of films from Quebec, Canada and around the world. The event is held at La Petite Place des Arts in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc, Mauricie.
