Five Canadian features head to NYC fest

Five Canadian feature films will screen in the Canadian Visions program at this year’s Independent Feature Film Project in New York, running Sept. 15-22.

The festival, dedicated to mostly American independent films, hosts the Telefilm Canada-sponsored Canadian Visions program, a venue for showcasing Canadian indie works from primarily first-time feature filmmakers.

This year’s Canadian program features Leonard Farlinger’s The Perfect Son (New Real Films, Toronto), Charles Biname’s La Beaute de Pandore (Cite Amerique), Andrea Dorfman’s Parsley Days (A.D. Pictures, Halifax), Ruba Nadda’s I Always Come to You; and Arto Paragamian’s Two Thousand and None (Galafilm Productions, Montreal).

In addition to sponsoring the program, Telefilm provides travel assistance to the attending filmmakers. *
