Love, Harold

Alan Zweig | 2025 | Canada | Documentary | 90 minutes | English | Ontario Premiere

KEYWORDS: Suicide, grief, love, community

Award-winning Canadian documentarian Alan Zweig explores the nature of grief and helplessness after an old friend commits suicide. Zweig sits down with numerous friends and acquaintances also dealing with the loss of loved ones by their own hand. Their stories are as varied as the people they’ve lost, and their honesty and candour about their unimaginable experiences make an often taboo subject feel tangible and shared like never before. Their pain is palpable, but so too is their resilience. Love, Harold is a cinematic love letter to those we’ve lost but also a tribute to those left behind to pick up the pieces.

WITH SHORT FILM ——— Ghost—— Stephanie Quilliams | 2025 | Canada | Animated short | 3 minutes | English

Loss is universal, it’s something everyone encounters in some form. Ghost is a journey through some of the different ways one can cope – both healthy and unhealthy. Director Stephanie Quilliams has transformed the pain of losing her sister to suicide into a unique artistic endeavour by animating her sister’s ashes. 

Stephanie Quilliams an animator, puppeteer, director, and performance and multimedia artist. Steph has had her work shown internationally and has collaborated with artists both in Canada and America. Stephanie’s art often pushes boundaries and buttons. Through her most recent work Ghost, Steph takes a departure from her often humorous and bawdy themes to examine the concept of loss and how to cope with it.
