New Works in the VPMAC Catalogue:
The Truck Guys by Lauren Fournier (2022)
In The Truck Guys, a young female conspiracy theorist stakes out parking lots because she is convinced that a secret cabal of pick-up truck drivers is behind all of the world's ills. She connects with a recovered "Truck Guy" who shares intel with her, and ultimately challenges her to reconsider what she is doing. This is an experimental film that uses improvisation and parafiction. The film begins as a parodic anatomy of a conspiracy theory and becomes by the end an allegory that invites reflection on the perniciousness of racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia in Canada.
