Pierre Yves Clouin won an Hors les murs residency in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 2010, in the section Film video, Cinema from Institut français for his video project, a film without a scenario; the sequence in which events were filmed would, itself, engender the scenario.
"I'm a Pontiac Indian" (Je suis un indien Pontiac,) was shot in the summer of 2010 during this residency.
Institut français is the international cultural exchange agency run by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Communication. The Hors les murs residency program was, until 2009, known as Villa Médicis Hors les murs.
