Telefilm Canada has announced funding for three feature films from Quebec. A total of $1.3 million will be provided under Telefilm’s selective component production program for projects with a budget under $2.5 million.

Among the projects receiving funding is Marianne Farley’s Au nord d’Albany. Farley earned an Oscar nomination this year for her live-action short film Marguerite. She is a director, co-writer and producer on the film, which follows a Montreal woman who leaves for the U.S. with her two children. Claude Brie is a co-writer and Benoît Beaulieu (Turbo Kid) will produce.

The two additional films chosen are Patrick Boivin’s Écho à Delta and Édouard Albernhe-Tremblay’s La Bataille de Farador. Écho à Delta is produced by Cédric Bourdeau and Stéphane Tanguay under Les Productions Kinesis and tells the story of a 10-year-old boy who is grieving the death of his little brother. Boivin directs the film, which is written by Jean-Daniel Desroches.

La Bataille de Farador is coproduced by Sonia Despars and Marc Biron under prodco Parallaxes and Joao Vinhas and Stéphane Collin under the Belgium-based Octopods Films. Tremblay writes and directs the film about a man who loses himself in a tabletop role-playing game until his sister returns home.

Telefilm plans to announce additional film recipients under the selective component later this summer.
