Working in the shadowy no man’s land between documentary and fiction filmmaking, Vancouver-based, Paris-born Bourges’s unclassifiable body of work—including his midlength breakout, 2012’s East Hastings Pharmacy, a scripted account of daily goings-on in a methadone clinic made with the participation of real-life addicts—has garnered him attention at festivals and galleries the world over as a sensitive chronicler of life in the lower strata of society. Screening Bourges’s short works as well as his feature-length debut, 2017’s Fail to Appear and his latest, 2022’s Concrete Valley, this program shines a spotlight on one of the most consistently surprising, beguilingly restrained, and admirably restless talents to appear in cinema’s last 15 years.
