In the Jam Jar is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Colin Nixon and released in 2021.[1] A tribute to maternal love, the film stars France Castel as Joan, a dying woman who is being cared for by her son Dan (Alain Goulem).[2]

Despite featuring francophone actors, the film's dialogue was shot in English and subtitled in French for francophone audiences.[1]

The film was screened in July 2021 as part of Telefilm Canada's annual Not Short on Talent showcase of Canadian short films at the Cannes Film Market.[3] It had its official public premiere at the 2021 Festival du nouveau cinéma, where it won both the juried and audience-choice awards for Best Canadian Short Film.[4]

The film was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards,[5] and a Prix Iris nominee for Best Live Action Short Film at the 24th Quebec Cinema Awards.[6]
