O Fear, O Night

Christine Chevarie-Lessard
2026 | 1 h 7 min
At a time when everyone is talking about anxiety, Christine Chevarie-Lessard tries to understand the ever-present fear inside her by meeting with an Anxiety Anonymous group, a singing scientist, a sociologist who wants to be a bullfrog, a philosopher who fears for democracy, and some imaginary figures for good measure. In a story that blends introspection, emotion and humour, fear is shown to be at times dangerous, at times transformative, but always powerful and universal.
