  • Montreal 2003
    Montreal 2003 By Ron Holloway Spring 2004 Issue of KINEMA MONTREAL WORLD FILM FESTIVAL 2003 One of the ironies of the 27th Montreal World Film Festival (27 August to 7 September 2003) was the presentation by Montreal festival director Serge Losique of three films programmed at relatively the same time by Venice festival director Moritz de Hadeln at Venezia 60 (27 August to 6 September). These were the following: Andrei Zvjagintsev’s Vozvraschenie (The Return, Russia), winner of the Golden Lion, Alejan dro Gonzalez Iñarritu’s 27 Grams (USA), with Sean Penn awarded the Coppa Volpi for Best actor; and Hana Makhmalbaf’s Joy of Madness (Iran), a documentary made by the 14-year-old sister of Samira Makhmalbaf on the latter’s making of Pan é asr (At Five in the Afternoon), her competition entry at Cannes. By way of a return gesture, a Montreal competition entry, Goutam Ghose’s In the Forest Again (India), was next shipped to Venice for its European premiere on the Lido. And it should be noted, too, that The Return had been originally booked for the Locarno festival - then yanked at the last minute from the lineup for entry in the Venice competition. Either the major international film festivals are relaxing their rules, or producers and directors and sale agents can play one festival off against another to get the best programming deal. No matter, Montreal was the winner this time. From the more than 400 films from 75 countries programmed by Serge Losique, the committed cineaste could track an amazing array of new talent and trends from every corner of the world.
