Gaby's Hills (fr|Gaby les collines) is a Canadian coming-of-age drama short film, directed by Zoé Pelchat and released in 2023.[1] The film centres on Gaby (Lou Thompson), a 13-year-old girl spending the summer with her father Jasmin (Emmanuel Bilodeau) in the Magdalen Islands region of Quebec; however, having undergone puberty since the last time she visited, she finds she must navigate new challenges as the community is now reacting to her as a young woman rather than as a girl.[1]
The cast also includes Catherine De Léan, Gaspard Chartrand, Robin L'Houmeau, Jérémy Poirier, Cécilia Lapierre and Léon-Charles Arseneau.
The film premiered in the Generation Kplus youth program at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival.[2] It was later screened in the Short Cuts program at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival,[3] where it received an honorable mention from the Share Her Journey award jury.[4]
