It’s almost too good to be true. — Atom Egoyan, filmmaker INTRODUCTION TO REEL CANADA Welcome to our 11th season. We've just celebrated our 10th anniversary — a huge milestone — and having now brought great Canadian movies to almost 250,000 students of all ages across the country, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re headed. From a modest pilot project in six high schools in Toronto in 2005 to about 100 different events in nine provinces last season, the program has grown enormously over the past 10 years. Very often, Canadian films are not available in the local mall or multiplex. They are available through REEL CANADA, and given the chance to see them, Canadians really do love Canadian movies. We bring our travelling festival to high schools, where students meet and talk with Canadian filmmakers Jack Blum, Executive Director whose work they have just seen. Whether or not it is their first exposure to a Canadian movie (often it is), they Sharon Corder, Artistic Director see themselves and their lives reflected on screen in a way that Hollywood just doesn’t provide. We screen Canadian movies for audiences of new Canadians who are working hard to learn our language and our culture. The movies show them what this incredible country looks like, how Canadian life is different from what they know and how at its heart it is exactly the same. Finally, on National Canadian Film Day, we invite all Canadians to celebrate Canada by watching a great Canadian movie. Once again, our core belief that our films have the power to unite us as a nation has been borne out: Enthusiasm for the day has been infectious. Thousands of people, in every province and territory, have participated in our annual film party and had a lot of fun doing so. REEL CANADA just continues to grow, thanks to the wonderful support of our sponsors, public and private, to the enthusiasm of the actors and filmmakers whose participation makes the events exciting and meaningful, and to you, our audiences who keep telling us in so many ways that you really enjoy the stories we tell ourselves and the rest of the world. Thank you for taking part. We hope you have a wonderful REEL CANADA experience.

Greetings and best wishes to the students, teachers and f ilmmakers who will be participating in the 11th season of REEL CANADA this year. REEL CANADA’s program of presenting Canadian f ilms to high school students in an exciting f ilm festival format is an innovative way to expose Canadian youth to the history, diversity and wealth of Canadian culture and creative talent. I am delighted to know that REEL CANADA is now active in 10 provinces and territories across Canada and I look forward to the day when the program is accessible to students in all regions of our great country. We are a nation of immigrants. With the exception of the people of the First Nations, all of us came from somewhere else at one time or another. This means that we all must meet the challenge of belonging, of discovering what it is to make this country our own. In today’s globally connected, media-f illed world, this is Adrienne Clarkson as true for those of us whose great-great-grandparents f irst arrived and settled here as it is for the newcomers National Patron who stream into our country every year. In 2005, I founded the Institute for Canadian Citizenship to foster discussion about the signif icance of citizenship and to create awareness among all Canadians of the need to participate actively in the integration of new citizens into our society. The Institute also strives to enable new Canadians to be more informed about Canada — its history, culture and way of life — and thus more engaged and connected to Canada and the communities in which they live. Thus I am particularly pleased to know that REEL CANADA now screens its films to adult newcomers enrolled in ESL training programs. This aspect of REEL CANADA’s work represents to me nation-building at its most creative, innovative, visionary and effective. I also applaud REEL CANADA’s initiative in establishing National Canadian Film Day, an opportunity for all Canadians to experience and celebrate our outstanding and unique Canadian cinema. The enthusiastic response of students, teachers, adult newcomers, and indeed all Canadians who experience REEL CANADA indicates clearly that it is an entertaining and stimulating way to be introduced to the great work of Canadian f ilmmakers.

  • Press Kit Falling Angels
    Falling Angels A film by Scott Smith Based on the novel by Barbara Gowdy With Miranda Richardson Callum Keith Rennie Katherine Isabelle RT : 101 minutes 1 Short Synopsis It is 1969 and seventeen year old Lou Field and her sisters are ready for change. Tired of enduring kiddie games to humour a Dad desperate for the occasional shred of family normalcy, the Field house is a place where their Mom’s semi-catatonic state is the result of a tragic event years before they were born. But as the autumn unfolds, life is about to take a turn. This is the year that Lou and her sisters are torn between the lure of the world outside and the claustrophobic world of the Field house that can no longer contain the girls’ restless adolescence. A story of a calamitous family trying to function, Falling Angels is a story populated by beautiful youthful rebels and ill-equipped parents coping with the draw of a world in turmoil beyond the boundaries of home and a manicured lawn. 2 Long Synopsis Treading the fine line between adolescence and adulthood, the Field sisters have all but declared war on their domineering father. Though Jim Field (Genie and Gemini winner Callum Keith Rennie ) runs the family house like a military camp, it’s the three teenaged daughters who really run the show and baby-sit their fragile mother Mary, (Two-time Oscar ® nominee Miranda Richardson) as she quietly sits on the couch and quells her anxiety with whiskey. It’s 1969 and beneath suburbia’s veneer of manicured lawns and rows of bungalows, the world faces explosive social change.
