Nine films by Canadian directors will be shown at the Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF), including, Denys Arcand’s Le Règne de la beauté (An Eye for Beauty), Xavier Dolan’s Mommy, Sturla Gunnarsson’s Monsoon and Stéphane Lafleur’s Tu dors Nicole, according to the Canadian funding organization, Telefilm Canada.
“With Canadian films enjoying a high profile at the Palm Springs International Film Festival so early in the new year, 2015 certainly bodes well for Canadian cinema,” said Carolle Brabant, Executive Director of Telefilm Canada.
According to Telefilm Canada: “Palm Springs is one of the marquee events of the film-festival season and generates significant buzz owing to the fact that its line-up includes several contenders for the Golden Globes and Oscars, two events that take place not long after the Palm Springs Festival. The Festival is very well attended, welcoming more than 135,000 festival-goers every year.”
