We are thrilled to announce that En Plein Air, directed by Morgana McKenzie and produced by June Films, has been officially selected for the 2025 Marché du Film at the Festival de Cannes. The film will be showcased as part of Telefilm Canada’s prestigious “Not Short on Talent” program, highlighting emerging Canadian filmmakers on the international stage.
En Plein Air is a visually arresting cinematic short that delves into themes of isolation, identity, and the human connection to nature, shot on location in the deserts of Southern California. McKenzie’s direction brings a unique blend of poetic realism and speculative fiction, creating a narrative that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.

This event offers a curated selection of Canadian short films, providing a platform for filmmakers to connect with industry professionals, distributors, and festival programmers from around the world.
