Ghost Town Anthology (French: Répertoire des villes disparues) is a 2019 French-language Canadian supernatural[1] drama film directed by Denis Côté. It was selected to compete for the Golden Bear at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival.[2] The film is an adaptation of the 2015 novel by Quebec writer Laurence Oliver.[3]

Set in the small town of Sainte-Irénée-les-Neiges, Quebec, the film centres on the inhabitants of the town who are struggling to cope after Simon Dubé, the teenage son of an area family, is killed in a car accident.[4] As the family and town grieve, however, the residents begin to report a number of ghost sightings.[1]
