Two days before Father’s Day, Telefilm Canada put its money into seven new French-language movies marked by a son mourning his dad, another dad mourning his son, and yet another lad raised in the jungle by a tyrannical father.

The projects, revealed Friday, were selected from 23 submissions and will share a total investment of $7.4 million via the agency’s Canada Feature Film Fund. They are:

• 100 milliards de neurones, a drama from writer/director Michel Monty, about a young boy’s path towards a drug overdose in the wake of his father’s death. Produced by Josée Vallée and Pierre Even

• Angle mort, the story of a pyromaniac who kills bad drivers, directed by Frédérik D’Amours and produced by André Rouleau

• Cabotins, a comedy from director Alain DesRochers about a penniless variety show legend who puts on a show to avoid losing everything. Jacques Bonin produces.

• The road movie Demande à ceux qui restent, directed and co-written by Louis Bélanger, about a grief-stricken father who flees his former life following his son’s death. Denise Robert produces with Daniel Louis, Fabienne Larouche and Michel Trudeau

• The animated feature and copro with France, Le Jour des corneilles, about a boy’s first brush with the outside world after being raised in the jungle by his overbearing father. Serge Elissalde directs under producers Roger Frappier, Luc Vandal and William Picot.

• Frissons des collines, a comedy from Richard Roy, set in 1969, that follows a 12-year-old girl’s dream to get to Woodstock and see her idol, Jimi Hendrix. Louis-Philippe Rochon produces.

• The sports drama Lance et Compte, directed by Frédérik D’Amours, about a team bus wreck. Caroline Héroux produces with Réjean Tremblay.

The next deadline for French-language projects applying to the CFFF selective component is Sept. 14.
