Utopia’s label Circle Collective has bought Bruce Labruce’s bold and thought-provoking film “The Visitor” for North America and the U.K. Represented in international markets by Best Friend Forever, “The Visitor” world premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in the Panorama section.
A London-set reimagining of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1968 film “Teorema,” “The Visitor” stars the well-known performance artist Bishop Black as a refugee who emerges naked from a mysterious suitcase on the banks of the Thames. Entering the lives of a privileged white family, he becomes their employee and conquers each member of the family in a series of explicit encounters where taboos are shattered.
The cast is completed by Macklin Kowal, Amy Kingsmill, Luca Federici, Ray Filar and Kurtis Lincoln. The film was presented as an installation by A/political, an art and activist body, during Frieze London, a contemporary art fair.

The Venice Film Festival’s independently run Venice Days section has unveiled its lineup of 10 competition entries, nine of which are world premieres.
The lineup also includes a mix of buzz titles from known and emerging talent, characterized this year by an accent on Eastern Europe, as well as the section’s customary strong representation of female directors.
Hotly anticipated queer comedy fantasy “Saint-Narcisse” by Canadian artist-turned-filmmaker Bruce Labruce and queer romance drama “My Tender Matador,” directed by Chile’s Rodrigo Sepúlveda Urzúa — and set during the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship — are among the standouts, as are shorts by French-Senegalese director Mati Diop (“Atlantics”) and Poland’s Malgorzata Szumowska (“Body”), which will unspool as part of the Prada-commissioned Miu Miu Women’s Tales, a series of short films directed by women.
The opener will be French/Algerian director Kamir Aïnouz’s promising feature debut “Honey Cigar,” which was developed with...

Brussels-based Best Friend Forever has acquired Canadian artist-turned-filmmaker Bruce Labruce’s queer comedy fantasy “Saint-Narcisse,” ahead of Cannes’ virtual Marché du Film.
Set in 1972 Canada, “Saint-Narcisse” follows Dominic, a handsome narcissistic young man who discovers the existence of his twin brother, living in a remote monastery lead by a depraved priest. Dominic sets out to save him and reunite once and for all. The two beautiful, identical brothers are soon embroiled in a strange web of sex, revenge and redemption.
“‘Saint-Narcisse’ is my biggest budgeted and most ambitious movie to date with spectacular locations, elevated cinematography and art direction,” said Labruce, who has so far written and directed 11 feature films, notably “Gerontophilia” which played at Venice in 2013 and “Pierrot Lunaire” which won the Teddy Award in Berlin in 2014.
“Every filmmaker should make at least one film in their career on the following subjects: twins or doppelgangers, incest, a cabin in the woods,...

Bruce La Bruce does not care if you’re offended. Probably the most respected filmmaker to also claim a robust oeuvre of pornography, his work often includes Bdsm, sex work, fetishes ranging from gerontophilia to amputees, castrations, and vampire sex. It is also biting social satire with a queer punk sensibility and a deep love of cinema, made by the X-rated love-child of John Waters and Robert Altman. Labruce’s newest film, “The Misandrists,” is true to form, but with one important difference: This time, it’s all about the women. And not just any women — it’s militant lesbian separatists trying to overthrow the patriarchy.
“It’s kind of an exploitation movie, or it certainly references a lot of exploitation genres,” Labruce told IndieWire during a recent phone interview. “There’s nunsploitation in there, there’s ’70s softcore sexpolitation films, which quite often have lesbian undertones. And there’s the reform-schoolgirl genre,...

Man-haters, rejoice! The Female Liberation Army is here to save us. Or at least, keep us fired up and entertained. Fresh off a run at Europe’s top film festivals, including a premiere at the Berlinale, Karlovy Vary, and Panorama, comes “The Misandrists.” Directed by legendary gay filmmaker Bruce Labruce, “The Misandrists” follows the dissidents of the Fla, a militant lesbian separatist cult whose primary goal is to dismantle the patriarchy — by any means necessary.
Set in 1999, “Somewhere in Ger(wo)many,” the film follows a young radical named Isolde (Kita Updike) who falls in love with boy dissident Volker (Til Schindler). Stowing him away in the basement of the Fla’s country manor so she can nurse his wounds, Isolde fears discovery by Big Mother (Susanne Sachsse). No men are allowed on the commune, and lesbian sex is encouraged, as Big Mother believes it is the only way to female liberation.

“The Other Side of Hope”
Winsome, sweet, and often very funny, the second chapter of Aki Kaurismäki’s unofficial trilogy about port cities is a delightful story about the power of kindness that unfolds like a slightly more somber riff on 2011’s “Le Havre.” The Finnish auteur’s latest refugee story begins with a twentysomething Syrian man named Khaled (terrific newcomer Sherwan Haji), who escapes from Aleppo after burying most of his family and sneaks into Finland by stowing away in the cargo hold of a coal freighter. His path eventually crosses with Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen), a newly single restauranteur who could use a helping hand. Part Roy Andersson and part Frank Capra, “The Other Side of Hope” deepens the director’s recognition of how immigrants and refugees are victimized by their invisibility, and its timeliness could help it strike a chord with domestic audiences. “Le Havre” grossed more than...

The current crop of acclaimed Quebec filmmakers shooting feature films south of the border speaks to an unprecedented infatuation on Hollywood’s part with French-Canadian directors.
Among the heavy hitters: Jean-Marc Vallée (“Wild,” “The Dallas Buyers Club,” HBO’s upcoming “Big Little Lies”), Philippe Falardeau (“The Bleeder,” “The Good Lie”), Denis Villeneuve (“Arrival,” “Sicario,” the forthcoming “Blade Runner” sequel), not to mention Xavier Dolan, who’s currently shooting his star-studded English-language debut, “The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.”
But there’s another remarkably prolific, genre-bending Montreal filmmaker – an award-winning festival regular who has clocked in nine features, one medium-length production and shorts to spare over the last decade – who’s never shown much enthusiasm about dipping his toes in the American studio system. No matter how many prizes or festival selections his films rack up (Berlin, Cannes, Locarno and Sundance among them) or how many retrospectives film societies program about his work,...

In this morning's round-up, we have a Q&A with Casper Van Dien from the supernatural horror film, June. Also: details on Dracula's prop auction, XLrator Media's 24 Hour Rental, a video tribute to Friday the 13th Part VIII called "Voorhees Stomp", a new poster for The Hexecutioners, and release details for Krampus: The Reckoning.
Casper Van Dien Q&A: "June tells the story of nine-year-old June (Brice) who has been shuffled in and out of foster homes for years. And though she tries to be good, no matter where she goes, a trail of chaos and terror seems to follow. It’s only when June is sent to live with a new couple, Lily (Pratt) and Dave (Van Dien), that it looks as if things might finally work out. Except this innocent child with the face of an angel is possessed by an ancient, malevolent entity that has hijacked her soul.

Canada's Bruce Labruce has been one of the more notable cinematic provocateurs of the last couple of decades. Starting off in Toronto's queercore scene, he's won acclaim on the festival circuit thanks to the taboo-busting, sexually explicit likes of "The Raspberry Reich," "Otto, Or Up With Dead People," and "L.A. Zombie" (the latter of which was banned from the Melbourne Film Festival). So when his latest film, "Gerontophilia," opens with a blank screen over which we seem to hear a woman nearing orgasm as she recites the names of "female revolutionaries" including Lizzie Borden and Winona Ryder, you'd be forgiven for expecting more of the same envelope pushing.

Last year, Bruce Labruce presented at Fantaspoa what is, in his own words, the most accessible and mainstream effort he has made so far. I'm talking about Gerontophilia, a film about an 18-year-old boy with a fetish for old men. I watched it during its one and only screening at the festival and thought it was very good. The protagonist, Lake (Pier-Gabriel Lajoie), is in the middle of a relationship with a beautiful girl of his own age when he begins working at a nursing home, taking care of the old men. It's a piece that tackles self-discovery and an honest portrait of people in love, without any explicit sex scenes (though still, and obviously, not for everybody). Director Labruce was kind enough to talk...

In a recent MoMA retrospective, queercore pioneer Bruce Labruce cemented his reputation as a shock-and-schlock auteur whose tendency toward pornography and violence set him apart from the serious-minded New Queer Cinema movement of the 1990s — an approach so left of the left that John Waters, in a 2011 documentary on Labruce called The Advocate of Fagdom, described it as "gayly incorrect." Though its imagery is tame by Labruce's standards, Gerontophilia follows his fascination with taboo sexual behavior; it concerns a relationship between a teenage boy and a much older patient at an assisted-living facility. After an embarrassing bodily response causes him to quit his lifeguard gig, angel-faced Lake (Pier-Gabriel Lajoie) moves on to a menial job sterilizing ...

Xavier Dolan tied contemporaries Philippe Falardeau and Denis Villeneuve by winning his second Best Feature award at the 17th annual Jutra Awards. Quebec’s answer to the Oscars was a rather suspense-less affair as Mommy claimed nine (plus the top box office award honor) awards winning in all major categories with the exclusion of Best Supporting Actor category win, which would only end up going to Dolan’s other nominated film, Tom at the Farm. Pierre-Yves Cardinal was sublime in his predatory type role and as was the case for several nominees, was hard at work on another project and therefore not on hand for trophyware. Ricardo Trogi’s throwback to awkward teen years tale 1987 did win a trio of awards, but if there were any surprises in the Dolan camp it was the acceptance speeches: Dolan delivered a keynote speech type quality for the last win of the night...

The Toronto International Film Festival today announced award winners from the 39th Festival which wraps up this evening.
This year marked the 37th year that Toronto audiences were able to cast a ballot for their favorite Festival film, with the GrolschPeople’s Choice Award.
This year’s award goes to Morten Tyldum for The Imitation Game. The award offers a $15,000 cash prize and custom award, sponsored by Grolsch.
Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, the genius British mathematician, logician, cryptologist and computer scientist who led the charge to crack the German Enigma Code that helped the Allies win WWII. Turing went on to assist with the development of computers at the University of Manchester after the war, but was prosecuted by the UK government in 1952 for homosexual acts which the country deemed illegal.

The Toronto International Film Festival gave its top prize Sunday to The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and distributed by The Weinstein Company. The announcement brings the huge festival to a close after hundreds of film screenings over 10 days. The Imitation Game, a biopic about gay computer pioneer and code-breaker Alan Turing, won the Grolsch People’s Choice Winner, Aka, the audience award for favorite feature-length film shown.
The acclaimed film, which had its World Premiere at Telluride over Labor Day weekend and its unveiling at Tiff on Tuesday, also stars Keira Knightley and was directed by Norwegian helmer Morten Tyldum.
Unlike other festivals that throw their weight behind juried prizes, Tiff prides itself on the fact that their most important honor is chosen by actual moviegoers (although they do hand out some juried awards in other categories).
At the beginning of each film, the audience is reminded that they can vote.

“These are filmmakers at the top of their craft, bringing fresh perspectives to traditional genres like comedies and less traditionally Canadian genres, such as musicals,” said Toronto International Film Festival (Tiff) senior programmer Steve Gravestock. “This year’s slate truly showcases the diversity of talent in our country, featuring films from coast to coast.”
“We are inspired by the number of exceptional debut features from Canadian directors, reflecting the depth of talent in this country,” said Tiff’s Canadian features programmer Agata Smoluch Del Sorbo.

Bruce Labruce presented at Fantaspoa what is, in his own words, the most accessible and mainstream effort he has made so far. I'm talking about Gerontophilia, a film about an 18-year-old boy with a fetish for old men. I watched it last night during its one and only screening here in Porto Alegre and thought it was very good. The protagonist, Lake (Pier-Gabriel Lajoie), is in the middle of a relationship with a beautiful girl of his own age when he begins working at a nursing home, taking care of the old men. It's a piece that tackles self-discovery and an honest portrait of people in love, without any explicit sex scenes (though still, and obviously, not for everybody). Director Labruce was kind enough to...

On the back of Gerontophilia, Canadian enfant terrible Bruce Labruce has begun writing his follow-up, Twincest (working title).
Labruce has secured development funding through Quebec’s Sodec (Société de développement des entreprises culturelles) and is co-writing with Montreal-based screenwriter Martin Girard.
The director reunites with Gerontophilia producer Nicolas Comeau of 1976 Productions and has earmarked a summer 2015 start.
Twincest tells the story of identical twins Dominic and Daniel who are separated from their adulterous, lesbian mother shortly after their birth in 1950.
While Dominic has the good fortune to be raised by loving grandparents in Quebec City, Daniel is raised in a monastery by a depraved priest.
Twenty-one years later, unaware of each other’s existence, the two young men are brought together and are soon engulfed in a tempestuous mix of sex, revenge and redemption.
Labruce said the project is inspired by the works of Hitchcock, Brian De Palma, Jean Cocteau and Ingmar Bergman.

Celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year, MK2 has figured prominently in the international film business since its creation in 1974 by Marin Karmitz forty years ago. Founded by Marin Karmitz and now managed by his son Nathaniel, MK2 was involved in virtually all aspects of the industry from production, distribution, international sales, restoration, and even owns and manages several arthouse movie theaters that focus on opening spaces for new voices and fresh talent from an independent background. However, today, I was sadly told by a fellow French man, MK2 no longer produces or distributes except for a few films it picks up for international licensing in order to stay in the game. Its revenues from its theaters keep it going.
MK2 does an impressive catalogue of films for distribution in territories across the globe. Among the titles in its collection are films from some of the greatest names in cinema: Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard, Alain Resnais, Jacques Doillon, Olivier Assayas, Abdellatif Kechiche, Charlie Chaplin, David Lynch, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Abbas Kiarostami, Gus Van Sant, Michael Haneke, and Walter Salles.
Always present at all major festivals, and often associated with the winning films, ML2 brings to the Efm a new slate of projects in many stages, from completed films to those that are still in production. Their restorations of classic films open new audiences to experience cinema of the highest quality.
Completed Films
Hotell
Directed by: Lisa Langseth
Erika is a beautiful young woman with a perfect life. Until the day it all falls apart. She starts going to group therapy and meets other people suffering from various forms of trauma. One day this eclectic group decides to take matters into its own hands and heads off together in search of a way out. They start checking into hotels – a place of complete anonymity where you can wake up as a different person.
Gerontophilia
Directed by: Bruce Labruce
18-year-old Lake has a sweet activist girlfriend, but one day discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate conspires to land him a summer job at a nursing home where he develops a tender relationship with Mr. Peabody. Discovering that the patients are being over-medicated to make them easier to manage, Lake decides to wean him off his
medication and help him escape, resulting in a humorous and heartfelt road trip that strengthens their bond.
Tom at the Farm
Directed by: Xavier Dolan
Tom, a young advertising copywriter, travels to the country for a funeral. There, he’s shocked to find out no one knows who he is, nor who he was to the deceased, whose brother soon sets the rules of a twisted game.

Clouds of Sils Maria
Directed by: Olivier Assayas
At the peak of her international career, Maria Enders ( Juliette Binoche) is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years ago. But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena. She departs with her assistant ( Kristen Stewart) to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Chloë Grace Moretz) is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.
Still the Water

Argentina
Directed by: Carlos Saura
Argentina plunges us into the heart of traditional Argentine music, via a succession of choreographed tableaux retracing a history rich in métissage. With a unique approach to its mise en scene, documentary images from different regions of Argentina gracefully mixed with awe-inspiring traditional songs, performed by the greatest singers in the country. Both poetic and fascinating, Carlos Saura calls on the entire history of the country set to the tune of guitars and accordions.
Charles Chaplin: The Legend of a Century

Top brass at the 25th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (Psiff) have announced a new programme on Canadian Cinema as well as the traditionally strong roster of foreign-language films eligible for the Fipresci Award in the Awards Buzz section, and Modern Masters.
The festival will screen 45 of the 76 official foreign-language Oscar submissions under the umbrella of Awards Buzz.
“We’ve selected Canadian films for a special focus at this year’s festival for many reasons, not the least of which is the wealth of talent emerging from its relatively small, indigenous film industry, and the depth and richness of story and character portrayal its films exemplify,” said festival director Darryl Macdonald.
“Whether it’s established auteurs like Denis Coté, Denis Villenueve and Atom Egoyan, gifted actor-directors like Don McKellar and Sarah Polley or newly emerging talents like Chloé Robichaud, Craig Goodwill and Sébastien Pilote, Canadian creative ingenuity is on abundant display in its films. All of this...

The 42nd Edition of Montreal’s Festival du Nouveau Cinema is just days away and the weight of an incredibly diverse and exciting program can intimidate even the most weathered cineaste. Combining the very best of big name and upcoming filmmakers, the festival has built its reputation on giving attention to groundbreaking and avant-garde cinema. Though sometimes eclipsed by the international selections, perhaps the greatest asset of the Fnc is its showcase of local talent. Every year, the Focus program takes a special look at the very best of independent and fresh cinema from Quebec and Canada.
Bringing together 18 feature length films and a wide selection of narrative and experimental shorts, this year’s line-up is strong and eclectic. For those who may not know what to see in this section, I have selected five films that I think are particularly interesting and worthwhile. Be sure to add your own recommendations in the comments below!

Gerontophilia
Written by Bruce Labruce and Daniel Allen Cox
Directed by Bruce Labruce
Canada, 2013
Gerontophilia, or the sexual preference for the elderly, is the eponymous subject of the new film by Bruce Labruce, iconoclastic Canadian director of subversive narrative porn such as The Raspberry Reich and Hustler White, among others. Given what goes on in other Labruce films, amputee sex, “terrorist chic” sex, zombie sex, etc., the subject matter of his newest didn’t necessarily alarm the way it would for nearly other living filmmaker, Lars von Trier being a potential exception. What’s surprising is how incredibly normal and unshocking the film is, especially given Labruce’s history and the subject at hand. Many critics call this his bid at mainstream, and it could be perceived as such. But if the title doesn’t scare off most audiences, a quick trip through the director’s filmography probably will. Still,...

Hometown bad boy Bruce Labruce is back at the Toronto International Film Festival with what could bedescribed as a sort of gay “Harold and Maude” (though Labruce prefers a "reverse 'Lolita'"). Set in Montreal, the film details the sexual relationship between a teenage boy (dreamy newcomer Pier-Gabriel Lajoie) and an 82 year old man (Walter Borden) that he meets while working at a nursing home. While the severely May-December romance at the film’s center certainly breaks taboos in itself, it doesn’t feature explicit sex -- a first in Labruce’s filmography. Labruce talked to Indiewire about that change of pace as well as the film itself -- which debuted Monday night and screens again Friday. So where did “Gerontophilia” come from? It was kind of a long process. I thought of the idea about three or four years ago. There was a first draft that I wasn’t really happy with.

Bruce Labruce – Gerontophilia
Section: Vanguard
Dates: Monday 9th, Wednesday 11th, Friday 13th
Buzz: What to do with Bruce Labruce, whose titles will most likely always reside on the tenuous cusp of porn vs. art? That’s exactly why he’s an important and oft neglected voice relegated to the ghetto of gay cinema enthusiasts—he’s been challenging boundaries and ideas for well over twenty years without cashing in on anything remotely mainstream. While some titles may not always seem worthwhile (a dip into less sexually explicit waters resulted in 2010’s Otto: Or Up With Dead People, which in turns seemed to have inspired a more experimental sexy undead project, La Zombie, a film that had few champions), he’s back with more taboo subject matter (a young boy likes sex with old guys—oh my!) and is bound to cause divisive critiques.

With each film, Canadian-born, queer auteur, Bruce La Bruce (No Skin Off My Ass, Hustler White, The Raspberry Reich) improves his filmmaking excellence. The filmmaker has spent decades making fierce, hilarious and generally haphazard indie films with a sharp political edge. Now the iconic provocateur returns with this subversively tender tale Gerontophilia; about the intimate bond between a teenage nursing home attendant and an elderly resident. Tiff describes it as, Labruce taking satiric aim at both the desire for mainstream, and even conventional films within the queer community and the youth-obsessed nature of gay (and straight) culture. Watch the first clip below.

Canada's Bruce Labruce has been one of the more notable cinematic provocateurs of the last couple of decades. Starting off in Toronto's queercore scene, he's won acclaim on the festival circuit thanks to the taboo-busting, sexually explicit likes of "The Raspberry Reich," "Otto, Or Up With Dead People" and "L.A. Zombie" (the latter of which was banned from the Melbourne Film Festival). So when his latest film, "Gerontophilia," opens with a blank screen over which we seem to hear a woman nearing orgasm as she recites the names of "female revolutionaries" including Lizzie Borden and Winona Ryder, you'd be forgiven for expecting more of the same envelope pushing. But as it turns out, Labruce is having a sly play with the expectations of those who know his previous work, because when he fades in, there's nothing more than kissing—albeit enthusiastically received kissing—going on, between French-Canadian teen Lake...

Venice -- One thing to be said for Gerontophilia is that at least it explores a relationship dynamic that hasn’t been replicated to death in movies. It could be called Harold and Claude. The notion of Canadian trash-art provocateur Bruce Labruce celebrating love and lust between a cute 18-year-old twink and an octogenarian man promises outré kink, if nothing else. But this tonally uncertain romance is both surprisingly conventional and tame. While the fabulously droll Pulp song “Help the Aged” is an apt choice to play over the end credits, it implies a deadpan wit only intermittently evident

★★☆☆☆ Canadian auteur Bruce Labruce opened the Venice Days sidebar of the Biennale's 70th incarnation with Gerontophilia (2013), a romantic comedy (of sorts) following 18-year-old Lake (Pierre-Gabriel Lajoie), who finds himself increasingly dissatisfied with his girlfriend and at the same time attracted to older men. In order to further investigate his newfound fetish, Lake gets a job at a local nursing home for the elderly, where he gets his jollies giving the elderly bed baths and drawing them while they sleep. He becomes particularly attached to octogenarian Melvin Peabody, played with a scene stealing charm by Walter Borden.
With Lake's growing affection towards Melvin also comes anger at the way the old are treated - or, more accurately, not treated - but instead discarded by a society that has no further need for them. Lake decides to help Melvin escape in order to follow his dream of one day seeing the Pacific Ocean.

While speaking at the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, President Obama called for the recognition of gay discrimination as the same as racial discrimination. He said “courage comes when an interracial couple connects to a gay couple who has been discriminated against, and understands it as their own.”
The Archbishop of Canterbury knows he’s fighting a losing battle when it comes to fighting against marriage equality. “ We have to face the fact that the vast majority of people under 35 not only think that what we’re saying is incomprehensible but also think that we’re plain wrong and wicked and equate it to racism and other forms of gross and atrocious injustice. We have to be real about that.

After serving as a Cannes Jury member back in May, Naomi Kawase (her most recent directing gigs include The Mourning Forest and Hanezu) is going to begin lensing her next feature film this fall. Variety reports that Japanese helmer’s Still the Water will be repped by MK2, the French prod-distrib-sales co. as acquired international sales rights to what is being pegged as a drama, which once again involves a form of teamwork between members of the opposite gender. France’s Commes des Cinemas is producing with Japan’s Kumie Inc.. Arte France Cinema and Eddie Saeta are co-producing. Seeing she is a long-standing VIP member in Cannes, a 2014 berth for the project is a given, with a Main Comp slot or least likely, the Un Certain Regard showing the most likely scenario.

Screening in the Vanguard section of this year's Tiff is Canadian writer, filmmaker, photographer and provocateur Bruce Labruce's dramedy Gerontophilia - a word that refers to a person who has a sexual preference for the elderly. In the film, an eighteen year old boy gets a summer job in a nursing home and develops a deep emotional attachment to an older man. Discovering that the old man, along with the other patients, is being over-medicated to make him easier to manage, the boy weans the old man off his medication and helps him escape, resulting in a road trip across the country. Here's Tiff's description: Queering the May-December courtship of Harold...

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...

The 2013 Toronto International Film Festival has announced its lineup of Canadian features, which includes The F Word from Michael Dowse (Goon) starring Daniel Radfliffe and Adam Driver ("Girls"), Xavier Dolan's new film Tom at the Farm and Denis Villeneuve's second film to be added to the festival Enemy, which stars one of his two leads in Prisoners (which is also premiering in Toronto), Jake Gyllenhaal. The F Word is also Daniel Radfliffe's third film in the fest after Horns from Alexandre Aja and Kill Your Darlings. F Word centers on Wallace (Radfliffe) who meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) and it would be love at first sight, except she lives with her long-term boyfriend. So Wallace, acting with both best intentions -- and maybe a little denial -- discovers the dirtiest word in romance: friends. Dolan is coming off the fantastic Laurence Anyways and again wrote, directed and stars in...
