TIFF CANADIAN FEATURES SLATE ANNOUNCED


Add these to the films announced over two weeks back. The Toronto International Film Festival has revealed the films that will screen in its Canadian Features section. The director of one of these films will be the recipient of the City of Toronto and Canada Goose Award for Best Canadian Feature Film, and the Best Canadian First Feature Film will go to the best debut film from a Canadian filmmaker.

Special Presentations
  • Enemy (Denis Villeneuve) (World Premiere)
  • The F Word (Michael Dowse) (World Premiere)
  • Gabrielle (Louise Archambault) (North American Premiere)
  • The Husband (Bruce McDonald) (World Premiere)
  • Tom at the Farm (Xavier Dolan) (North American Premiere)
  • Watermark (Jennifer Baichwal and Edward Burtynsky) (World Premiere)

Alongside the world premiere of his upcoming thriller Ger, also starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Denis Villeneuve's Enemy (pictured above) will have its WP at TIFF. I'm looking forward to seeing Xavier Dolan's Tom at the Farm, with Caleb Landry Jones, but then I'm not going to TIFF...
