KimStim is a Brooklyn based, full-service distribution company dedicated to the release of exceptional independent, foreign, and documentary film. Founded in 2000 by Mika Kimoto and Ian Stimler, KimStim brings to US and North American audiences selected films from around the world gleaned from the most prestigious film festivals and include top prize winners from Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, and Tribeca.

A getaway at a secluded log cabin in the forest becomes the site of escalating, multigenerational tensions and anxieties in this disquieting, impeccably mounted coming-of-age drama from Quebecois filmmaker Philippe Lesage (Genesis). Ostensibly a merry reunion between well-known film director Blake Cadieux (Arieh Worthalter, 2024 César winner for Best Actor for The Goldman Case) and his longtime friend and former collaborator Albert Gary (Paul Ahmarani), the vacation gradually becomes something far more complex and less stable, especially with the combustible admixture of Albert’s teen son’s best friend, Jeff (Noah Parker), and Albert’s self-asserting daughter Aliocha (Aurélia Arandi-Longpré). Featuring longtime Krzysztof Kieślowski muse Irène Jacob.

Good

"This was a blind buy, but I enjoyed it. Would love to see his last film on Blu-ray."

— Mark B. (4/5)

Brilliant, slow-burning film and director!

— Maximillian G. (5/5)

Canadian Coming of Age

"Philippe Lesage is one of my favorite filmmakers working today; I don't need to see a trailer or read a synopsis. If he's got a new movie out, I'm there. His previous films The Demons and Genesis are both incredible coming of age stories. Who By Fire is his most formally confident and I'm so glad KimStim and VS are releasing this on Bluray (now release The Demons and Genesis on Bluray!). Great movie, one of the best of 2024 (I saw it twice in theaters)."

— Ryan B. (5/5)
