Some of the films that caught our eye:
Play Again

This romantic 'Canadian' tale centers around two former childhood friends; Todd, a small town could-have-been, and Allison, an overly nostalgic children’s book illustrator, who are reunited at their ten year high school reunion and embark on a childish yet romantic adventure recapturing the life they use to live.
Mind The Gap
ROMANTIC COMEDY/DRAMA – DIRECTOR: SHAUN MJUMDER – CANADA – 07:16 min
When a sexy beautiful young woman sits next to a sweet elderly man on a train, the ride is anything but boring.
Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould
DOCUMENTARY – DIRECTOR: MICHELE HOZER & PETER RAYMONT – CANADA – 106:00 min
Intimately revealing the man behind the myth, the film casts a fresh light on the mysterious pianist whose ideas were as controversial, and his private life as passionate, as his music.
