    Fantasia 2020 : The Dark & the wicked , International Premiere

    Writer/director Bryan Bertino knows what scares you, as anyone who’s seen his pulverizing 2008 modern classic The Strangers can attest. He knows what scares you because he knows what scares him, and he creates works solely from that vantage point. One of the most unsettling films we’ve seen this year, The Dark & the wicked is a seriously frightening piece of work. Conceived, scripted and ultimately shot on Bertino’s own family farm, it’s a harrowing...

    Fantasia 2020 : The Columnist, North American Premiere

    With a premise so ripe in this modern age that we are, quite frankly, surprised it's taken so long for someone to make it, THE COLUMNIST proves it's definitely been worth the wait.

The excellent Cho Jin-woong (A Hard Day) proves to be extremely convincing in a complex role that required an actor at the top of his art...

    Fantasia 2020 : Labyrinth of cinema, Canadian Premiere

    “Live freely. That is the proof of peace”. That’s what my father would tell me. When I found myself arriving aimlessly in Tokyo, I used the 8-mm camera he’d given me as a keepsake to shoot a film that was shown in one corner of an art gallery in Ginza. That showing was recognized around the world as “the birth of a new film artist” and for the 60 years since then I’ve continued to make independent films, funded by the money I...
