View 2017 Annual Report Audiences + Creators Connect at VIFF 2017 The 36th edition of the Vancouver International Film Festival kicked off on a triumphant note with a gala screening of Mina Shum’s Meditation Park, the first Vancouver-shot and set feature to ever open the festival. The rapturous response of the capacity crowd set the stage for what would be an inspiring 16 days of audiences engaging with the world’s finest films and the creators responsible for them. By the time our festival had wrapped, we’d showcased 321 films at 458 public screenings, including 29 World Premieres, 18 International Premieres, 56 North American Premieres and 65 Canadian Premieres. The lineup included favourites from the festival circuit plus discover- ies curated specifically for Vancouver film-lovers. More than 200 film- makers enhanced the screening experience for our audiences with enriching Q&As that delved into their motivations and creative pro- cesses. In turn, VIFF celebrated their achievements by offering more than $100,000 in prizes to both emerging and established filmmakers, ensuring that they’re able to continue creating such exceptional work. Our unique Films+ programming continued to expand the frame by welcoming episodic, “digital-first” and virtual reality creators to take part in our annual celebration of cinematic storytelling. The master- minds behind celebrated television series such as Game of Thrones and The Handmaid’s Tale participated in extended Creator Talks, while some of YouTube’s most innovative directors received the big screen treatment. Totally Indie Day highlighted evolutions in storytelling, in- dustry initiatives and distribution, while other conferences focussed on digital entertainment and virtual reality. With the Sustainable Production Forum remaining the preeminent event of its kind in the world, we added VIFF AMP, which highlighted the creative intersec- tion between film and music. Plus: we pumped up the volume with a live music series headlined by Kronos Quartet’s unforgettable live score for The Green Fog. Our programming team is already uncovering more cinematic gems and inspiring experiences. We can’t wait to share them at VIFF 2018!

  • News Release. Tiff Unveils Top Ten Canadian Films of 2017
    December 6, 2017 .NEWS RELEASE. TIFF UNVEILS TOP TEN CANADIAN FILMS OF 2017 The Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival™ illuminates the nation with public screenings, free events, and special guests Alanis Obomsawin, Evan Rachel Wood and Jeremy Podeswa TORONTO — TIFF® is toasting the end of Canada’s sesquicentennial with its compelling list of 2017’s best Canadian films for the 17th annual Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival™. Established in 2001, the festival is one of the largest and longest-running showcases of Canadian film. From January 12 to 21, 2018 at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, the 10-day event boasts a rich offering of public screenings, Q&A sessions and a special Industry Forum, followed by a nationwide tour stopping in Vancouver, Montreal, Regina, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa and Saskatoon. 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. Steve Gravestock, TIFF Senior Programmer, says the number of exciting new voices alongside seasoned masters in this year’s lineup is a testament to the health of the Canadian film industry. "With a top ten that includes five first- or second-time feature directors, there is much to celebrate in Canadian cinema this year," said Gravestock.

    The End of Time A film by Peter Mettler 114 min, English, Digital (DCP, Blu-ray), Canada, 2012, DoCumentary FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building 630 Ninth Ave. #1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 / Fax (212) 989-7649 Website: www.firstrunfeatures.com Email: [email protected] www.firstrunfeatures.Com/endoftime Synopsis "Recalling the work of Terrence Malick, Werner Herzog and the late Chris Marker" (Hollywood Reporter), Peter Mettler’s enthralling new film combines elements of documentary, essay, and experimental cinema to create a tour de force that challenges our conception of time — and perhaps the very fabric of our existence. With stunning cinematography and a knack for capturing astonishing moments, The End of Time travels the planet — from the CERN particle accelerator outside Geneva to the lava flows of Hawaii; from a disintegrating Detroit where Henry Ford Built his first factory to the tree where Buddha was enlightened. Both mind-expanding and eerily familiar, Mettler's provocative film explores the links between renewal and destruction, between primordial mysticism and the furthest reaches of modern science, giving the viewer a transcendent cinematic experience. Praise for The End of Time "Recalling the work of Terrence Malick, Werner Herzog and the late Chris Marker...THE END OF TIME Becomes immersive and hypnotic...a ravishingly Beautiful experience." – Stephen Dalton, The Hollywood Reporter "A work of vision...A gloBe-trotting cine-essay about time...poetic and lovely." – Adam Nayman, POV "Mettler's trippy

AWAY FROM HER is a beautifully moving love story that deals with memory and the circuitous, unnamable paths of a long marriage. Married for 50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona’s (Julie Christie) commitment to each other appears unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness and humour. This serenity is broken only by the occasional, carefully restrained reference to the past, giving a sense that this marriage may not always have been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fiona’s to make such references, along with her increasingly evident memory loss, creates a tension that is usually brushed off casually by both of them. As the lapses become more obvious and dramatic, it is no longer possible for either of them to ignore the fact that Fiona is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, Fiona decides that it is time for her to enter into Meadowlake, a retirement home that specializes in the disease.

  • Game of Thrones Season 7 Directors Revealed | EW.Com
    Game of Thrones season 7 directors revealed It’s the first official news about Game of Thrones season 7: The next outing of the international fantasy sensation has lined up four acclaimed directors to tackle the 2017 season – including a founding Thrones veteran who’s returning to the show after directing major Hollywood films. The first thing savvy Thrones fans will notice about this list is the number of names. In recent years, Thrones has employed five directors to helm two episodes each. HBO has not yet publicly confirmed the plan by Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss to reduce next season to seven episodes. But given that there are fewer directors on board for season 7, viewers can take that as a sign that things will be different next year. Here are the directors signed on for season 7: – Alan Taylor: An Emmy-winning veteran of The Sopranos, Taylor helped pioneer the visual storytelling style of the show when he helmed the pivotal ninth and 10th episodes of season 1, particularly “Baelor” (the episode where Ned Stark was executed). The Thrones producers were so impressed they gave Taylor four episodes to helm in season 2 – including the premiere and the finale. Then Marvel snatched him up for Thor: The Dark World followed by Taylor reuniting with Emilia Clarke to direct her big-screen role in Terminator: Genisys. Now he’s back on Thrones for the first time since 2012. – Jeremy Podeswa: The Canadian director and Boardwalk Empire veteran scored an Emmy nomination for directing the show’s most controversial hour, season 5’s darkly tense “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.” This year he directed the propulsive season premiere as well as Jon Snow’s riveting resurrection episode, “Home.” – Mark Mylod: A four-time director on the show, the British veteran of Showtime’s Shameless and HBO’s Entourage took on this season’s uniquely textured re-introduction of the The Hound in “The Broken Man,” as well as Arya’s exciting chase sequence in “No One.” – Matt Shakman: A newcomer to the series.
