Title: Life of a Dog

Date: 2020

Language: Spanish; English

Description: Life of a Dog is acollaborative short film by two women filmmakers in Canada as they confront their lives in isolation. The women tell of their lives alone, as mothers, overwhelmed as they question their lives. The two stories are intertwined, intimate and universal; they reveal each family through the lens of these times.
The women, all living in Montreal, come from different backgrounds. Danae Elon is from Israel and Rosana Matecki is from Venezuela. Both own dogs that help them during this time and connect their stories.
In a diary-like style, combining the character voices and fragments of their life under quarantine, the film poetically depicts a personal story about this novel moment, from a woman's point of view.
