Drifting States (French: Les États nordiques) is a Canadian docufiction film, directed by Denis Côté and released in 2005.[1] The film stars Christian Leblanc as Christian, a man from Montreal who is hiding out in the isolated town of Radisson after mercy killing his chronically ill mother.[2]
The film, Côté's feature-length debut, was shot on a budget of just $80,000, and performed primarily by non-professional actors.[3]
Writing for 24 images, André Roy compared the film to the works of Jacques Leduc, particularly Ordinary Tenderness (Tendresse ordinaire) and The Last Glacier (Le dernier glacier).[4]
The film won a Golden Leopard Award in the Video category at the Locarno Film Festival in 2005,[1] and a Woosuk "Indie Vision" Award at the Jeonju International Film Festival in 2006.[5]
