Presented by Rendez-Vous French Film Festival
Hair of the Bear, which premiered at the Windsor International Film Festival, sees Malia Baker (Babysitter's Club, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Descendants 4) play Tori, an anxious 16-year-old girl who, after self-harming and refusing to go to school, finds herself in a remote wintry cabin with her grandfather, Ben, played by Roy Dupuis (Le Femme Nikita, and, Shake Hands With The Devil).
The coming-of-age film, shot northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in a frozen, wintry setting, marks the narrative feature debut of Alexandre Trudeau, brother of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and fellow writer and director James McLellan.
Suffering from debilitating anxiety and refusing to go to school, 16 year old Tori is driven to stay with her grandfather in a remote frozen wilderness but unexpectedly finds herself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
