The Vancouver International Film Festival has added 22 Canadian feature films to the lineups for its Canadian Images and Future//Present programs, including five world premieres.

Under the festival’s new “film-plus” model, the two programs will fall under VIFF’s True North stream, which spotlights Canadian filmmakers.

Four of the eight features added to the Future//Present program, which highlights emerging Canadian filmmakers, will make their world bows. Writer/director Randall Okita’s The Lockpicker, Sofia Bohdanowicz’s Never Eat Alone, Lev Lewis’ The Intestine and Nicolas Lachapelle and Ariel St-Louis Lamoureux’s Lights Above Water are all set to debut. The program will also host the North American premiere of Karl Lemieux’s Maudite Poutine. Three other features were added to the lineup: Nicolás Pereda’s Tales of Two Who Dreamt (Canadian premiere), Lawrence Côté-Collins’ Split and Ashley McKenzie’s Werewolf, which will world bow at TIFF.

Fourteen features were added to this year’s Canadian Images program, which focuses on projects from established Canadian filmmakers, including a world premiere for White Pine Pictures’ Where the Universe Sings: The Spiritual Journey of Lawren Harris from directors Nancy Lang and Peter Raymont.
