The titles in Canada’s Top Ten – representing the year’s best domestic films – read like a program book for the Toronto International Film Festival, with all but one – director Mike Clattenburg’s comedy Trailer Park Boys The Movie – having played at TIFF this year.

Documentaries that made the cut include Jennifer Baichwal’s award-winning Manufactured Landscapes, which will be released in the U.S. in spring 2007 through Zeitgeist Films; Radiant City, by Alberta’s Gary Burns and Jim Brown, about suburban living; and underwater photographer Rob Stewart’s conservation-themed doc Sharkwater.

Among the French-language finalists are Philippe Falardeau’s Congorama, which premiered at Cannes in May; Robert Favreau’s Un dimanche à Kigali, which earned more than $1 million at the Canuck box office; and Noël Mitrani’s Sur la trace d’Igor Rizzi, which took the 2006 TIFF prize for best first Canadian feature.

Sarah Polley’s drama Away from Her, Reginald Harkema’s comedy Monkey Warfare, The Journals of Knud Rasmussen from Zacharias Kunuk and Norman Cohn, and box office hit Trailer Park Boys round out the list.

‘The diversity of genres and subjects featured in Canada’s Top Ten highlight the extraordinary filmmaking talent in this country,’ said Toronto International Film Festival Group boss Piers Handling in a press release.

The sixth annual list, announced Dec. 12 by the TIFF Group, is chosen by a 10-member nationwide panel made up of filmmakers, journalists and industry professionals.

Notably absent is Érik Canuel’s Bon Cop, Bad Cop, which became the all-time biggest domestic earner at the Canuck box office, surpassing Porky’s with $12.2 million in ticket sales by Dec. 7.
