This year, we set a new milestone with five Canadian films selected as part of this year's Festival lineup. We've been championing Canadian filmmakers since our inception but in truth progress has been slow; until this year. We received thirteen Canadian submissions this year (go Canada!) and selected the following five that you'll see on the big screen this September.
