TIFF 2014 PREMIERE VIDEO: François Ozon’s 'The New Girlfriend' (Un nouvelle amie) An Anticipated Controversy in France At TIFF I attended the premiere screening of The New Girlfriend by director François Ozon starring Romain Duris and Anais Demoustier.

Both mour... BANG, BANG BABY Best 1st feature at TIFF 14 Video by Leopoldo Soto In the fictional Canadian town of Lonely Arms in 1963, sweet and prim high-schooler Stepphy (Jane Levy) devotedly cares for her alcoholic father (Peter Stormare), tends to his auto-service shop, and, like most girls her age, adores heartthrob singer Bobby Shore.
