Hell Runs on Gasoline!

At the Saint-Felicien racetrack (in Quebec, Canada), engines are running hot and the excitement has reached a fever pitch. With its thunderous soundtrack, jarring backfires and choking clouds of smoke, Martin Bureau's Hell Runs on Gasoline. takes us deep inside a chaotic battle to the finish. Race cars hit the track, accidents pile up and the flames of burning engines wreak havoc-an infernal vision that soon dissipates into an eerily silent cemetery of abandoned carcasses. This film is part of the 2014 edition of the 5 Shorts Project, created by the National Film Board of Canada and produced in conjunction with Spirafilm, a Quebec cooperative dedicated to independent cinema.
