Roll out the red carpet. These are five flicks we cant wait to see at
the Vancouver International Film Festival.
Patang
Go fly a kite. Better yet, go fly millions of them. This
richly woven tale of six lives set against the backdrop of Indias
largest kite festival will have its Canadian premiere at VIFF.
In Darkness
Based on true events, this Canadian-Polish
co-production tells the story of a Polish sewer worker who risks his
life to help Jewish families escape from the Nazis by keeping them
hidden in a sewer system during the Second World War. Oscar buzz has
already begun; this is Polands submission for the Best Foreign Language
film Oscar.
Las Acacias
Road trip! This quiet Argentinian film follows a
truck driver as he travels from Paraguay to Buenos Aires with a woman
and her baby. It earned the Caméra d’Or at Cannes.
One Lucky Elephant
Bring your tissues. This moving documentary
follows a circus producer as he tries to find a home for a beloved
ten-thousand-pound performer whos retired from the ring.
Youve been Trumped
Jonsis beautiful soundtrack will make up for
spending 95 minutes looking at Donald Trumps hair in this documentary
about the Donalds plan to develop a golf course in one of Scotlands most
beautiful and ecologically sensitive areas. Kelsey Dundon
