Rodrigue Jean's film "Labrador - Autopsy of Silence" is heading to the U.S. and U.K. following its acquisition by TLA Releasing. The film garnered significant attention at its world premiere during the Tribeca Festival, securing three prestigious awards. These accolades included best international narrative feature, best cinematography for Mathieu Laverdière, and best performance for Christopher Angatookalook.
The narrative centers on a cargo ship's journey to remote Inuit communities in Canada's far north. During a storm off the coast of Labrador, the ship's cook is discovered murdered. With only the 20 crew members as potential suspects, an Inuit mechanic named Alupa, a friend of the victim, becomes the focus of suspicion.
H264, the international sales house, announced that the film will also receive a theatrical release in Canada during winter 2027. The production was overseen by Patricia Bergeron, Cédric Bourdeau, and Rodrigue Jean at Transmar Films.
