To close out 2026, QCCMTL invites you to discover Stranger by the Lake (2013), Alain Guiraudie’s hypnotic masterpiece that transformed contemporary queer cinema.Winner of the Best Director award in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival, the film masterfully blends thriller, psychological drama, and art-house cinema. Rarely have desire, pleasure, fear, and obsession been captured with such precision.The film explores the contradictions of desire, the fascination with danger, and the often-blurred boundaries between love, sex, and death. Bold, sensual, and haunting, it has become an essential work of queer cinema.A mesmerizing experience to discover, or rediscover, in the best possible way: on the big screen, surrounded by our community.Poster by Vincent Bernier.
