Cédric Louis and Claude Barras have been collaborating since they made Icefloe (2005). In a style that appeals to children and adults alike, their films take a humorous and clever look at complex subject matter such as difference and death. Sainte Barbe (2007) and Land of the Heads (2009) were co-produced by their studio, Hélium Films, and the National Film Board of Canada.
