  • 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.

She’s still partying in parking lots, working as a cashier in a supermarket, and living in her father’s basement. When Ruth gets drunk at a friend’s baby shower and ruins it with her juvenile antics, her old high school cronies – who are now all married with children – suggest she might want to find some friends her own mental age. Ruth is devastated. Just when Ruth hits rock bottom, she runs into her friends who mistakenly think she’s pregnant.

  • Last Night (1998)
    Last Night (1998) Set in Toronto at an unknown date, Last Night tells the story of how a variety of intersecting characters spend their final evening on Earth. It seems the world is to end at midnight (Eastern Standard Time ) as the result of a calamity that is not explained, but which has been expected for several months. There are several scenes of an ominously glowing sun, which gets progressively larger and brighter even into the night. Some people in the film choose to spend their last evening alone, others with loved ones, others in prayer, others in public mayhem, and still others at raucous festivities. The owner of a power company Duncan (David Cronenberg ) spends the majority of his final day calling up every single one of his customers to reassure them that their heating gas will be kept on until the very end. Meanwhile, his wife Sandra (Sandra Oh ) prepares to fulfill their suicide pact when she becomes stranded with a depressed widower Patrick (Don McKellar ) preparing to die while listening to music and drinking wine on his roof, surrounded by mementoes of his recently deceased wife. The widower's best friend Craig (Callum Keith Rennie ) participates in a nearly non- stop sex marathon as he attempts to fulfill every fantasy he has ever had, at one point awkwardly asking Patrick to join him. Sarah Polley appears as Patrick's sister Jennifer; their family chooses to have a final meal together although he leaves prematurely to seek his own finale. Jackie Burroughs makes an appearance as an apparently mentally disturbed woman who jogs around announcing how much time is left before the end.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2000/2001 for Period Ending March 31, 2001
    ANNUAL REPORT 2000 - 2001 ANNUAL REPORT 2000/2001 For period ending March 31, 2001 Page 1 BRITISH COLUMBIA FILM YEAR IN REVIEW 2000/2001 continued to be a period of growth for the British Columbia film and television industry. For the second year in a row, the province surpassed $1 billion in total production activity. This represents the largest level of production across Canada, and retains British Columbia’s place as the busiest North American production centre outside of Los Angeles and New York. Contributing to the overall growth of the film and television sector has been the establishment of an increasingly strong indigenous independent production community. The sustained rise in B.C. owned and controlled production over the past five years marks a significant shift in the traditional structure of the B.C. industry. In 2000, indigenous production represented 30% of total production whereas in 1995 it represented only 8%. British Columbia can be confident that it has developed a strengthened domestic sector alongside its active service production industry. In October 2000, Minister of Canadian Heritage, Sheila Copps announced the long awaited Canada Feature Film Fund to be administered by Telefilm Canada. The fund will provide $100 million each year for five years through performance and selective envelopes to Canadian feature filmmakers. The Canadian broadcasting landscape was set for dramatic changes as a result of key ownership shifts brought before the CRTC for approval. BCE sought the purchase of CTV, Global vied for the assets of WIC, and a new television station license was slated for Victoria. British Columbia Film put forward written submissions and made presentations at the CRTC hearings related to these broadcast changes, seeking to ensure that benefits flowed to British Columbia’s independent production sector.
