In 2018 in Berlin, Telefilm Canada will continue to build strong and profitable bridges between Canadian creators, producers, distributors, investors, and their industry partners,” says Carolle Brabant, Executive Director, Telefilm Canada. “In this way, tomorrow\u2019s platforms will be increasingly rich in inclusive stories, and evermore representative of the diverse communities that form the collective fabric of our nation and the world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For sure, Canadian diversity is on full display at the Berlinale, with screenings of features, shorts, virtual reality projects, and documentaries, by all sorts of Canadian talent, both new and established. This year\u2019s films by Indigenous filmmakers include Three Thousand <\/em>and Nuuca.<\/em><\/p>

You won\u2019t want to miss the European premiere of the The Green Fog<\/em><\/a> by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s Vertigo<\/em> that was created through archival and found footage shot in San Francisco. Also at the Berlinale is Accidence<\/em><\/a>, this directorial trio\u2019s ten-minute short, which lets us view events around a murder, from the voyeuristic perspective of apartment balconies.<\/p>

Competing in the festival\u2019s Generation section is Luc Picard\u2019s Cross My Heart<\/em><\/a> (Les Rois mongols<\/em>). Also nominated for six Canadian Screen Awards, the film takes place in 1970 and is about a girl who, with her cousins and brother, takes an older lady hostage to avoid foster care. Also in Generation is Pascal Plante\u2019s award-winning Fake Tattoos<\/em><\/a> (Les faux tatouages<\/em>), which was part of the Talent Fund-supported Micro-Budget Production Program (now Talent to Watch Program). This punky tale of love between two teenagers recently screened at the Slamdance Festival! And, Oscar-winning director Torill Kove\u2019s animated short Threads<\/em><\/a> is about the love between mother and daughter.<\/p>
