Canada’s Top Ten – Toronto
January 8, 2010
From January 14-21, you can see some of the top 2009 Canadian films at Canada’s Top Ten, an annual festival featuring ten features and ten shorts. The festival was established in 2001 by the Toronto International Film Festival to celebrate and raise awareness of Canadian cinema, and the films are chosen by a panel of experts and must have premiered at a major Canadian film festival in the previous year.
This year I’m particularly intrigued by The Trotsky, by Jacob Tierney, which is a quirky comedy about a teenager who believes he is the reincarnation of fabled Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. I’d also love to check out Bruce Alcock’s Vive la Rose, the film uses stop-motion animation and oil paintings to bring a Newfoundland love song to life.
When: January 14-21, 2010
Tickets: $8-65
Where: Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto
