MORILLION III
Gabriel Lapierre / Canada / 2023 / 9 min
Hiking and acid make the perfect trail mix for BRXE and AXGE. The light reveals their bodies and mixes their identities. The trust they build together allows them to explore the psychedelics and aesthetics of their movements with resilience and vulnerably. They surrender to each other in the hollow of the Jacques Cartier valley. Morillon III: the name of the lot where they pitched their tent.
*Morillon III* is Gabriel’s second video in a post-pornographic series in collaboration with BRXE. They explore psychedelics and trust in a long therm partnership. The identities are mixed and the pleasure is rich and nuanced. They trive together for capturing real complicity and playfulness.

*The jury gives a Special mention to the documentary film Two years, which, in a highly aestheticized depiction of the sexual act, succeeds in translating the romantically intimate ideal into reality, with tenderness and sincerity, visually erasing the boundaries of the body and gender and merging them into a magical unity of pleasure and gratitude for the same.*
