Dehors novembre is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Patrick Bouchard and released in 2005.[1] Inspired in part by the suicide of Quebec rock musician Dédé Fortin, the film depicts various characters facing mortality in a bleak cityscape to the soundtrack of "Dehors novembre", a song by Fortin's band Les Colocs which was itself inspired by the prior death of Fortin's bandmate Patrick Esposito Di Napoli.[2]

The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Animated Short at the 26th Genie Awards in 2006,[3] and won the Jutra Award for Best Animated Short at the 8th Jutra Awards the same year.[4]
