Synopsis

For the Frigon, hunting is a family tradition that forges and strengthens the bonds between the generations. For several autumns already, Louis-Henri has been tracking moose with his grandson, Sasha. However, at the dawn of his 81st birthday, old age reminds him that his career as a hunter is now behind him. For the first time this year, Louis-Henri will not go for the hunt and Sasha will leave without him. Goodbye, Hunter offers an intimate look at the transmission of a long family tradition.

    Émile’s initial passion for the territory, natural spaces and the humans who inhabit them, has led him to use his camera to transpose the encounters that inspired him. He recently completed his bachelor’s degree in film production at Université du Québec in Montréal and then directed Salut Chasseur, his first short documentary film.
