Festival Flash: Canadian Films

Canadian cinema often gets a bad rap, especially within Canada itself. After all, we live in the country that brought the world Meatballs III. Yet, for every Ginger Snaps Back we release, our nation also comes out with notable films such as Exotica and Les Invasions Barbares. The Toronto International Film Festival has always been an important locale for this country’s filmmakers to showcase their newest and best work, and this year is no different. There’s enough Canadian talent in this year’s festival to wash the taste of Johnny Mnemonic out of our nation’s collective memory.
