BISOU SAUVAGE - Bahij Jaroudi Interview

Christian Zyp interviews Bahij Jaroudi (writer/director/animator) about his animated short film BISOU SAUVAGE. It screens at the Edmonton International Film Festival as part of Lunchbox Shorts 4.0 on Thursday October 1st, 2026 at 12:10 PM at Landmark Cinemas 9 City Centre (Theatre 1).

BISOU SAUVAGE... As world tragedies pile up, a bored couple is looking for their next distraction. This explosive dark comedy is a blunt take on the privilege of boredom and the dissonance that is needed to pretend everything is okay. Lebanese-Canadian illustrator and animator Bahij Jaroudi compels us to recognize our own apathy in this relatable black-and-white animated short.
