| | I Killed My Mother |
 Still virtually unseen in this country, I Killed My Mother, the most honored Quebecois film of the past decade, is a micro-budgeted wonder, an announcement of spectacular arrival for one of the cinema’s most important new talents, 21-year-old Xavier Dolan. Among its literally dozens of awards are three from the Cannes Film Festival, a Cesar (French Oscar) nomination for Best Foreign Film, two Lumiere awards including the Best French Language Film, and a Genie award (Canadian Oscar). “Dolan stars as Hubert, a gay teenager at war with his mother, a divorced lower-middle class suburban mom (Anne Dorval) who seems to be doing the best she can... more & buy tickets
| | Kids Grow Up, The |
 Documentary filmmaker Doug Block has captured much of his daughter Lucy’s life – and their relationship – on camera. Now his only child is 17 and preparing to leave home for college. Lucy’s imminent departure is the springboard for The Kids Grow Up, a funny, moving and deeply personal look at modern-day parenting... more & buy tickets
| | Lanterna Magicka: Bill Douglas and the Secret History of Cinema |
 Scot Bill Douglas (1934-91) was a collector of cinema memorabilia and pre-cinema optical devices as well as being an award-winning filmmaker (My Childhood, My Ain Folk, My Way Home). He put these devices into his last film, Comrades (showing at MIFF in a very rare print this year), the story of the first trade union, and also a history of pre-cinema. Lanterna Magicka celebrates Douglas’ genius, and the magical devices he collected over a 30 year period... more & buy tickets
| | Later We Care (Van Later Zorg) |
 Multifaceted Dutch director Claire Pijman brought her wonderful music film, Talking Guitars, to MIFF two years ago. This year, her new film, Later We Care, gives us an equally resonant and memorable experience, and one that’s very close to home. After her husband passed away, Jeane Pijman, Claire’s mother, is left with a house that’s too big for her... more & buy tickets
| | Lost in America |
 Lost in America is probably the most definitive—and definitively funny—movie about what it was like to live in the United States during the age of Reagan, the mid-80s. Albert Brooks’ truly hilarious, deadpan satiric comedy follows a yuppie couple who quit their high-paying jobs to “find themselves and touch Indians” by taking a Winnebago cross country…and with a “nest egg” to tide them over in case of any glitches. Julie Hagerty gives a wonderfully charming performance, equal parts earnest, sweet and smart as Linda, wife of ad exec David, played by Brooks himself, whose cross country odyssey doesn’t go anywhere near as it was planned... more & buy tickets
| | Mao’s Last Dancer |
 “Brought to the screen by Bruce Beresford, director of such celebrated works as Driving Miss Daisy and Black Robe, the inspiring true story of Li Cunxin speaks to personal and cultural freedom, passion and determination. Born in 1961, Li lived with his six brothers and impoverished parents in China’s Shandong Province. His family was destined to be labourers, but when recruiters from Madame Mao’s ballet academy in Beijing swept through his single-room school in search of untapped talent to mould into the future leading lights of the Cultural Revolution, eleven-year-old Li is selected, and committed to a strange new life of stringent training, both artistic and ideological... more & buy tickets
| | Memories of Overdevelopment |
 A loose sequel to Memories of Underdevelopment, one of the greatest Cuban films ever made, Memories of Overdevelopment follows Sergio, an intellectual who has left the Cuban revolution and “underdevelopment” behind—only to find himself at odds with the ambiguities of his new life in the “developed” world. A character study of a loner with no clear cut politics or ideology, a stranger in a strange land struggling with aging, sexual desire, and the impossibility of the individual to belong in ANY society, Memories of Overdevelopment requires no knowledge of its predecessor, made in Cuba in 1968, a film that brought an understanding of the richness and complexity of current Cuban culture to this country. But like its predecessor, it’s rueful, funny, sad and moving... more & buy tickets
| | Mesrine Part 1: Killer Instinct |
 Part 1—completely stand alone—of a two part gangster epic from France that was nominated for 7 Cesar awards (French Oscars), including Best Picture, walking away with three, including Best Actor for Vincent Cassel’s mesmerizing Mesrine and Best Director for Jean-Francois Richet. Mesrine: Killer Instinct introduces us to Jacques Mesrine (Cassel), a loyal son and dedicated soldier back home and living with his parents after serving in the Algerian War. Soon he is seduced by the neon glamour of sixties Paris and the easy money it presents... more & buy tickets
| | Mesrine Part 2: Public Enemy No. 1 |
 Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 –also completely viewable without having seen part 1–finds Mesrine back in France, finally in police custody and facing justice for his crimes. After escaping a courtroom and kidnapping the judge at gunpoint, Mesrine is declared Public Enemy Number 1 and is eventually condemned to a maximum security prison where he writes his memoirs, establishing himself as a household name and an anti-hero across France... more & buy tickets
| | Monseñor: The Last Journey of Oscar Romero |
 30 years after his assassination, Oscar Romero is a candidate for beatification and sainthood within the Catholic church. But he has long been that for those to whom he has been an inspiration and a martyr for his principled, political commitment to the poor and powerless. On March 24, 1980, Romero, archbishop of San Salvador, was gunned down at his altar... more & buy tickets
