While Canadians are days away from hitting the polls to determine the next government, Chloé Robichaud, the filmmaker who broke out with her Cannes Un Certain Regard selected Sarah Prefers to Run is trading the athletic podium for….the political one. Among the new generation of French Canadian female filmmakers, her sophomore effort entitled Pays has its cast in place and is ready to roll. First-timer Nathalie Doummar is joined by Macha Grenon, Yves Jacques, Rémy Girard and Alexandre Landry (Louise Archambault’s Gabrielle) are among those to join the project. To be readied for 2016, the pic is produced by La Boîte à Fanny’s Fanny-Laure Malo (Sarah préfère la course), Item 7’s Pierre Even et Marie-Claude Poulin (Brooklyn) and Morag Loves Company’s Barbara Doran (The Grand Seduction).
Gist: Not imagining herself as a candidate in the federal election, 25 year-old Félixe (Nathalie Doummar) has more difficulty coming to terms after winning her riding.

Last night in a packed theatre at the Tiff Bell Lightbox an eclectic group of film critics, the who’s who of top local film producers and filmmakers, and Tiff executives gathered to hear the unveiling of the 13th annual Canada’s Top Ten films of the year. The room buzzed with excitement with many discussing the Nyfcc winners, predicting the Board of Review winners and, of course, noting which filmmakers were in attendance (assuming that was a clear cut sign of who made the list).
A hushed silence came over the crowd when Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of Tiff, took to the podium on stage to introduce the evening’s host, beloved local comedian Steve Patterson. “As a 15 year veteran of comedy, I know what it’s like not to be recognized”, Patterson cracked, making light of Canadian gems often going overlooked on the world stage. This year, however,...

This afternoon, with poutine and local wine to mark the occasion, the Toronto International Film Festival announced their Canadian film selections. Programmers Steve Gravestock and Agata Smoluch Del Sorbo proudly pronounced that this year both new and seasoned filmmakers had the “curiosity and courage to show troubling issues occurring in our country in new and exciting ways.” Past festival favorite (and one of my personal own as well) Xavier Dolan, the always controversial Bruce Labruce and Jennifer Baichwal’s films garnered applause from the crowd at the majestic Royal York ballroom. Titles sure to draw headlines and attention in the Canadian slate are Denis Villeneuve’s locally filmed ‘Enemy‘ which has Jake Gyllenhall playing a man with two identities, torn between a mistress and a wife. Villeneuve’s other recent feature ‘Prisoners‘ was previously announced as a festival title. It’s worth mentioning that two feature films being presented at...

A cartooned Robin Wright is how I started Day 3 with the early morning screening of The Congress, Ari Folman ambitious Directors’ Fortnight opening film that features Jon Hamm, Paul Giamatti, Harvey Keitel and Danny Huston in either live performance or animated rotoscope/kaleidoscope fantasy incarnations. Touching upon themes of ageism and futurism, this is a meaty sci-fi dessert is tonally awkward, but ambitious in scope.
My first taste of Variety’s 2013′s Ten Euro Directors to Watch technically commenced at last year’s Tiff with Gabriela Pichler’s Eat Sleep Die, but today I got to view one more film that made waves in Toronto last September and continues to play well for auds in Michiel ten Horn’s The Deflowering of Eva van End. Picked up stateside by the Film Movement folks, this aesthetically, stylistically, and tonally pleasing comedy about an exchange student who unknowingly stirs a family of five to near disaster,...

2013′s Un Certain Regard section carries a whopping five first time feature filmmakers that’ll be measuring themselves up against auteur cinema heavyweights. While we nailed predictions for Alain Guiraudie’s L’inconnu du Lac, Rebecca Zlotowski’s Grand Central and the more international flavored title of the Sundance hit, Fruitvale Station by Ryan Coogler, we didn’t see major players such as S21: The Khmer Rouge Death Machine director Rithy Panh, or Paradise Now‘s Hany Abu-Assad (who brings us the first fully-financed film to come out of the Palestinian cinema industry) or Mohammad Rasoulof from Goodbye fame (brings us what is surely an aptly titled film in Anonymous) in the horizons.
As Nicholas mentioned yesterday, this would be a year of the women filmmakers (by Cannes standards) – six of them find themselves in the Un Certain Regard category. Sofia Coppola is joined by the baffling inclusion of...

With less than a month to go before the festival kicks off out in France, the official line-up has finally been unveiled for this year’s 66th Cannes Film Festival.
The festival is, of course, one of the most prominent events of the year for the industry, with a handful of films launching their status as strong awards contenders out on the Croisette.
Last year, it was Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, Michael Haneke’s Amour, Thomas Vinterberg’s The Hunt, Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild. The year before that, it was Michael Hazanavicius’ The Artist, Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive, and Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.
