Series Pass: The Drifting States Of Denis Côté

Director in Attendance November 1114!

French-Canadian director Denis Côté became one of North America's most promising filmmakers after roaring onto the international film scene with his first feature, Drifting States, in 2005. With six features, his ouevre creates a sublimely minimal, genre-blending, hybridized offering that combines low-budget ingenuity with daring formal experimentation. Often concerned with the universal resonance and meaning of intimate relationships between marginal and marginalized characters, Côté's work is consistently inventive, incorporating digital image-making technologies into the forms of his films, as well as having his characters use these devices in their daily lives.
Côté's work pursues filmic familiars then side steps genre and formal conventions to divert the audience in directions that prove incredibly rewarding. His cinema is heart-wrenching, funny and redemptivequalities that certainly make it masterful.
