Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of TIFF, says the Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival is a vibrant celebration of diversity and excellence in contemporary Canadian cinema. “Our filmmakers have proven that they are among the best in the world and all Canadians should feel incredibly proud to get behind them and celebrate their achievements. Wrapping up Canada’s year in the global spotlight, we are thrilled to present this uniquely Canadian list, rich not only in talent but also in its diversity of perspectives, stories, and voices that reflect our nation’s multiculturalism," said Bailey.

President Nixon was in the White House and the U.S. was at war in Vietnam. The image of the picture‐perfect, stay‐at‐home housewife with the ideal husband and family was being threatened. Forces of change—a sexual revolution, the use of hallucinogenic drugs and a new founded challenge to authority—had crept into family rooms and dinning table conversations. Raised in a traditional Christian family, Perry leads a sheltered life, always doing what is expected of him. He has a wonderful virgin Christian girlfriend, Dorothy. He attends church with his family on Sundays and enjoys family dinners. He is following a career path that will prevent him from being drafted to fight in Vietnam. As a chemist he is book smart and company driven, but doesn’t know the harsh realities of the world. Everything he believes in is challenged the day he is chosen to be a jury member in a hippie death cult murder trial, where the defendant on trial is a strikingly beautiful woman named Leslie.

MERCEDES BUNZ LOOKS INTO THEIR POLITICAL IMPACT. to the public discourse, hereby carefully hiding that in this market chances were not equal. Some people were freer than others. The political idea of equality became an image campaign for an IPO, “What is the most resilient parasite? An idea. A single idea from a human mind can build cities,” and pushed for the sake of this argument also further privatization. explains Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘Inception’ to Ellen Page, when he recruits her as a dream stealer. Communism as an idea that in effect had built several cities – Moscow, Brasilia, Halle-Neustadt to While democracy has been annexed by this dull version of market economy, its political idea, name but a few – resonates in DiCaprio’s phrase, the setting of the idea his character is talking about however, cannot be appropriated. The political sphere is fundamentally different to the economical in the noir science-fiction movie of Christopher Nolan, however, is quite different. It is not focused sphere, and always will be. Its aim is not to make profit, but to organise the collective living of human anymore on crowds taking over the state in order to erect a better world.
