[1] Telefilm Canada [1] proudly announces three Canadian films in competition at the 67th Festival de Cannes (May 14 to 25, 2014). The films are David Cronenberg’s ‘Maps To The Stars [2]‘, Xavier Dolan’s ‘Mommy [3]‘ and Atom Egoyan’s ‘The Captive [4]‘. This marks the most Canadian films that have screened in competition in the same year.
“This year’s Cannes festival is truly a monumental occasion for Canadian filmmakers,” said Carolle Brabant, Executive Director of Telefilm Canada. “This is the strongest presence we’ve ever had, and a true testament to the exceptional vision and tremendous artistry of our country’s filmmakers. Canadians should feel very proud.”
- The Captive: A drama centered on the awakening of the painter Margaret Keane, her phenomenal success in the 1950s, and the subsequent legal difficulties she had with her husband, who claimed credit for her works in the 1960s.
- Mommy: A widowed single mother, raising her violent son alone, finds new hope when a mysterious neighbor inserts herself into their household.
- Maps To The Stars: A loner tracks the gang who stole his car from a desolate town in the Australian outback with the forced assistance of a wounded guy left behind in the wake of the theft.
