Tight Race for Artistic Innovation Award at TIFF07

It’s no secret that Rolf de Heer’s Ten Canoes was one of my favorite movies at last year’s TIFF, and that de Heer’s a pretty big fan of Toronto as a city as well. I’ll admit that I was a bit peeved when he lost the Artistic Innovation Award to Taqva (which was a pretty great film as well), so I’m extremely glad to hear that the Australian director is back this year to compete for the award with his new film Dr. Plonk.
