The 2010 edition of the Worldwide Short Film Festival kicked off in fine style here in Toronto last night. As is the norm for the festival, now in its sixteenth year, the opening night program was devoted to major award winners from around the globe and these were all more than deserving of the accolades. Here's the breakdown:
The night began with Cordell Barker's animated gem Runaway. Though I'd seen this a bunch of times before, this was my first crack at it on the big screen where it belongs. Barker was present for the screening and the crowd was more than appreciative. Check the trailer for this one below.
Up next, Seeds of the Fall, another dark comic gem from Sweden's Patrik Eklund. Eklund is a great favorite of ours here at Twitch - his wry comic timing is truly spectacular - and actually has a pair of films in the festival this year.

The 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival is set to run June 17-27 in a brand new location. Oh, it’s still in L.A, but it’s moving across town, from Westwood — where it’s been held the past few years — all the way over to Downtown.
The main “hub” for the fest will be the new L.A. Live complex, but there will also be screenings at other locations, such as the Downtown Independent and Redcat theaters. The city is really trying to build downtown up into a major arts and culture hub, so the festival moving there fits in with that agenda. Film Independent, the organization that runs Laff, also runs the annual Independent Spirit Awards, an event that also moved downtown — from Santa Monica — this year.

Yesterday, the Genie Awards, Canada's equivalent of the Oscars for those who don't know, were handed out. This year, Polytechnique dominated the Genie Awards and even took the award for Best Motion Picture. However, the presentation of the award on TV and on webcast was too short. Besides, it wasn't a live presentation and not all the awards were shows on TV/webcast. Second Besides: When will a TV network (and not some cable network that few Canadians have) broadcast the Genie Awards? Anyway, without further ado, here's the presentation of the winners.
1. Best Motion Picture
* 3 saisons.
* Before Tomorrow.
* Fifty Dead Men Walking.
* Nurse.Fighter.Boy.

2. Achievement in Direction:

Writer/Director/Animator: Cordell Barker
What happens when all the resources are used up? That’s the question that Cordell Barker’s animated short Runaway begs, as a train heads down an ill-fated track. As the steam engine begins to run out of coal, the conductor enlists the help of the less wealthy, less fortunate passengers in the second car in order to benefit the wealthy patrons of the first car. Little do they know that they all seal their own fate as they selfishly consume and avail themselves of the entire train, pulling it apart piece by piece throwing it into the fire, only to barely get themselves over the hill and down it resulting in a conclusion that burns up in flames. But do not fret, the cow that once occupied the track lives to see another day.

[With Cordell Barker's Runaway screening at Sundance, we present again the interview with Barker I conducted at the Toronto International Film Festival.]
One of the most acclaimed animators in Canada, the only complaint about director Cordell Barker is he just doesn't make very much, his painstaking hand-drawn process guaranteeing gaps of years between his projects. And so a new film by Barker is big news and at the past Toronto International Film Festival we had the chance to sit down and talk to the man about his new effort, Runaway.
TB: In Canada, we're pretty familiar with you: people especially in my generation have seen The Cat Came Back - we watched it in school all the time, and we watched it a lot. People know your work. I don't know how widely it would have traveled, so for our readership outside of Canada, can you tell us a little about your history, how you came into animation, and what your background is?
Cb: Well, my background - I don't really have one.

3D isn't only for the movie theaters and televisions, folks. In commemoration of the first anniversary of their online screening room (yesterday!), the National Film Board of Canada is sending out free 3D glasses and launching two new sections of their site to offer viewers goodies in both 3D and HD. This adds to the 1,400+ titles already available for free viewing on the website.
The 3D section is kicking off with the shorts Falling in Love Again, Drux Flux, Sandde, and Facing Champlain, plus a number of making-of feature for Champlain. On the HD side of things, there's a little more variety. While Cordell Barker got his latest short, Runaway, screening at Sundance (brief review here), his Oscar-nominated 1988 short The Cat Came Back is on the site, along with flicks that include the 1965 short High Steel, Chris Landreth's Oscar-winning Ryan, the 2007 Oscar nominee Madame Tutli-Putli, and The Stratford Adventure,...

It’s strange how in a little over nine minutes, Canadian director Cordell Barker reminded me of what can be achieved with two-dimensional hand-drawn animation, just as The Princess and the Frog did last year. While there’s immense merit to the art of computer animation, there’s also a tendency to restrain the visuals, as Pixar has, to worlds of familiarity.
To clarify a bit: we exist in a three-dimensional world, and when thinking and representing our ideas in three dimensions, we have a tendency to ground them in relatable ways. Conversations are held at eye level at moderate distance, character speed is comparable to what is achievable by human beings. There’s no Bugs Bunny style whip-pans and dust clouds in Pixar films — it’s not a bad thing, just a stylistic choice.

Back in 2001, The Toronto International Film Festival created Canada's Top Ten, an annual event created to celebrate Canadian cinema. We've talked about it in the past, as it's featured big names like Sarah Polley, David Cronenberg, and Don McKellar. And now, as 2009 comes so quickly to a close, this year's best have been picked.
I've usually seen at least a few of the feature choices, but this year I'm woefully behind on some pretty cool-sounding flicks. The 2009 films include Defendor -- the Woody Harrelson superhero indie by Peter Stebbings, Cairo Time -- the Ruba Nadda romance starring Patricia Clarkson and Alexander Siddig, and The Trotsky -- a film starring Jay Baruchel as a teen who believes he's the reincarnation of Leon Trotsky. On the shorts side of things, I've already alerted you to three in the Tiff Shorts Roundup: Bruce Alcock's Vive la Rose, Chris Landreth's The Spine,...

Canada's National Film Board of Canada (Nfb) returns to the upcoming Sundance Film Festival, January 21 to 31 with three selected animated film shorts.
The films screening are Cordell Baker’s "Runaway", Bruce Alcock’s "Vive la Rose" and David Coquard-Dassault’s "Rains".
"Runaway" is Barker's third short film with the Nfb. His previous films "The Cat Came Back" (1988) and "Strange Invaders" (2001) won 30 international awards and Academy Award nominations. "Runaway" was produced in Winnipeg by Derek Mazur for the Nfb.
Bruce Alcock’s "Vive la Rose", puts into images the words of a plaintive song about lost love. Co-produced by the Nfb and Global Mechanic, Alcock’s film is based on an 18th-century song by Newfoundland musician Émile Benoit, in a film that pays homage to the land, sea and the harsh lives of local fishermen, produced by Global Mechanic’s Tina Ouellette and the Nfb’s Annette Clarke and Michael Fukushima.
