For the seventh edition of Perspective Canada at the Cannes Film Market, Telefilm Canada is pleased to announce that Canada: Not Short on Talent is back for a second year. The program of 25 Canadian shorts was curated by Danny Lennon, the founder of Prends ça court! and a renowned programmer on the international festival circuit.
The films were selected to represent the diversity of Canadian talent, with directors from all across the country. Emerging talent is featured in both Herd Leader (Chef de meute) by Chloé Robichaud, competing in the Official Selection for the Short Film Palme d’or, and With Jeff (Avec Jeff, à moto) by Marie-Ève Juste screening at the Directors’ Fortnight. The selection also includes well-known directors such as Robin Aubert, Deco Dawson and Diane Obomsawin, as well as award-winning creations such as Doubles With Slight Pepper by Ian Harnarine, winner of best Canadian short at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Genie Awards, and financed by the Spike Lee Production Fund.
The program will premiere on May 22 and a promotional video created by Danny Lennon is available here:
