Ha! is a Canadian short film, directed by Sébastien Pilote and released in 2007.[1] The film stars André Bouchard as a man in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region who has just lost his job after the closure of his employer, as he goes about his first day without the stable and predictable structure of a normal work day.[2]

The film premiered at the 2007 Locarno Film Festival, and had its Canadian premiere at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.[2]
The film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films in 2007.[3] It won the awards for best short film at the 2007 Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes de Barcelona,[4] the 2007 Festival du nouveau cinéma,[5] and the 2008 Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois,[6] and was a Jutra Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Film at the 10th Jutra Awards in 2008.[7]
