Ep. 20: Canadian Cinema shines at TIFF 2019

TIFF 2019 was another strong year for Canadian cinema. On this episode of the podcast, we discuss 19(!) Canadian films, ranging from small character studies to a re-imaged Greek tragedy to an anti-colonialist zombie epic.

Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney (@bwestcineaste) and Executive Editor Orla Smith (@orlamango) are joined by special guest Angelo Muredda (@amuredda) to break down the Canadian cinema slate at last month’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF 2019). Join us on a journey through films about unreliable narrators, zombie settlers, the immigrant experience, empathizing with mental illness, a bonkers version of Canadian history, and the year’s best cameo.
