Without enough money, it was all about love and time, said director Martin Villeneuve recently on the TED stage where he talked about how he made a visually stunning sci-fi on a shoestring budget. A Canadian sci-fi in French might feel like something rather odd. And you're right, the Montreal-based director's invitation to his future hometown doesn't resemble much you've seen before. Based on his graphic novels, "Mars et Avril" is a retro-designed neo noir where music, philosophy, and love is more central than intergalactic warfare. In light of the first manned expedition to Mars we watch as a love triangle unfolds on Earth between an acclaimed musician and his instrument builder as both have fallen for the lovely photographer Avril, and as we all know a little love can change a lot. Just look at the theoretically impossible but practically irresistible "Mars et Avril" which in itself is a strong testament to how far you can get with love... and time.

"'Mars et Avril' marries the high-gloss look of a Hollywood future-world blockbuster to the more cultured, subtle sensibility of an indie-auteur movie. This striking debut is best enjoyed as a visually ravishing tribute to the power of love." - Stephen Dalton, Quiet Earth
