Equinox (French: Équinoxe) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Arthur Lamothe and released in 1986. Lamothe's first narrative feature film in 18 years after having concentrated exclusively on documentary films since 1968's Dust from Underground (Poussière sur la ville), the film stars Jacques Godin as Guillaume, a man returning to his hometown for the first time since being wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit, in order to confront the former friend whose false testimony resulted in Guillaume being sent to prison.
The film was shot in the rural Îles de Sorel near Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, in 1985, and premiered at the 1986 Montreal World Film Festival.
