The following report solely reflects the views of the authors. Findings, conclusions or recom- mendations expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funders of this report, who are in no way bound by any recommendations con- tained herein. 2 EXPORTING CANADIAN FEATURE FILMS IN GLOBAL MARKETS Executive Summary Goals of the Study The goals of this study were three-fold: 1. To identify key trends in international sales of feature films generally and Canadian independent feature films specifically; 2. To provide intelligence on challenges and opportunities to increase foreign sales; 3. To identify policies, programs and initiatives to support foreign sales in other jurisdic- tions and make recommendations to ensure that Canadian initiatives are competitive. For the purpose of this study, Canadian film exports were defined as sales of rights. These included pre-sales, sold in advance of the completion of films and often used to finance pro- duction, and sales of rights to completed feature films. In other jurisdictions foreign sales are being measured in a number of ways, including the number of box office admissions, box of- fice revenues, and sales of rights.

The director, Edward, creates a film that features Michelle, an aspiring novelist who escapes to Brazil and abandons her former life as a model.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

This middle-aged woman was given more power and freedom to explore all types of relationships within the film, unlike films where we would normally see a woman of this age for a blink of a second.

  • Hbo Brings the Newsroom Back on Air
    HBO BRINGS THE NEWSROOM BACK ON AIR Miami, FL – July 2, 2013 – HBO Latin America announced that the second season of its original acclaimed drama series, TheNewsroom, will premiere on July 14th in the Caribbean, simultaneously with the United States. Created by Oscar® and four-time Emmy® award winner Aaron Sorkin, this smart, topical and humorous series follows on the on- and off-camera lives of the fictional Atlantis Cable News (ACN) Network’s “News Night” staff, with an idealistic mission to do the news well despite facing a fickle audience, corporate mandates and tangled personal relationships.

Meanwhile, as Sloan (Olivia Munn) weighs a new job offer and Neal (Dev Patel) uses his internet alter-ego to smoke out a threat, Will, Mac and Charlie (Sam Waterson) face off with Leona (Jane Fonda) and Reese (Chris Messina) during a tension-filled lunch meeting. Season two takes place a year later in the days leading up to Election Day 2012, with numerous flashbacks to earlier events from 2011 and 2012, such as the 9/11anniversary, thefallof Gaddafi,genocideinRwanda, Obamacare, andmore.
