  • lesbianfilm

    “lesbianfilm” is a hilarious performative documentary (mockumentary) that puts the spotlight on all the hype, PR, collaboration, love and bickering that goes into the making of an independent feature film. In the great homosexual tradition, “lesbianfilm” employs camp and humour to achieve a political aim. With tape rolling, the lesbianfilm collective askes the question: “Do you support lesbianfilm?” At the end of the day, the group has managed to debunk identity politics, pitch the festival programmers, and secure numerous donations from unsuspecting patrons of the arts – of props, wardrobe, a location and various in-kind service for the fictional project.…

  • Since Then

    After the love has gone, the mundane routines of everyday become the hope for a brighter tomorrow.

  • Air Cuts, The

    In Mandarin. Shot against the landscape of social and economic changes in Beijing – the destruction of aged houses and the construction of new pillars of skyscrapers – the film collects a string of small events which show human behaviour and its interaction with the surrounding environment that is diffused with an irritating air of crawling anxiety and sexuality. While the events are mostly unrealistic and often unrelated, at the centre of theme is a middle-class couple who are going through an uncomfortable relationship. They wonder if the quality of their relationship is due to the mal-positioning of their bed,…

  • Machine Machine Machine Machine

    Consumed by toaster experiments and the lure of the switching yard, a pale mad scientist (Julian Doucet) dresses up like a slightly automated Hugo Ball to enter the late winter landscape and bear witness to man’s inhumanity to machines.

  • TV Stories

    “TV Stories” chronicles the simple story of a man who lives alone and spends most of his time interacting with other people’s answering machines. The story is told using a structural film technique in which the room was shot from eight camera angles. The film was then edited so that each shot lasts exactly two seconds. We see the shots in the same repeated sequence, giving us a 360 degree view of the room every 16 seconds.

  • Busk

    Life is hard when you live on Gerrard … especially when you’re a white French-Canadian rapper trying to make it on the streets of Toronto. “Busk” is a fish-out-of-water comedy about a guy with a dream who doesn’t give up even when his whole ‘hood is against him. “Busk” is based on a skit performed by the comedy troupe Sweet Potato. Eric Marier acted out his nerdy white rapper character for filmmaker Paula Tiberius over wine one evening, and she wrote the script the next day. Eric added his own raps, and they geard up to shoot the film four…

  • Subrosa

    “Subrosa” traces a young woman’s journey to Korea, the land of her birth, to find the mother she’s never known. This exquisitely crafted drama probes the idealized, often false constructions of cultural and maternal identities wrought by the adoptee’s return. “Subrosa” tracks the unnamed heroine from a sterile adoption agency office to seedy bars and motel rooms on neon strips, then to a stark U.S. army camp town and the bustling flower markets of Seoul. Though her path to self-destruction and ultimate self-revelation ironically and tragically mirrors that of her imagined biological mother, the past remains elusive to her, the…
