Montreal's Festival du Nouveau Cinema announces it's line-up !

Autumn has just begun and Montreal is about to end its annual film festival frenzy with the 37th edition of the Festival du Nouveau Cinema (New Cinema Festival). The popular event has the reputation of offering to its audience the best cinema has to offer over the year and the line-up this year is phenomenal. All the big hits from TIFF are there (Tokyo Sonata, Synecdoche, New York, Martyrs, JCVD and many more) along with some titles that were surprisingly absent from this year's line-up, including Philippe Garrel's La Frontière de l'aube, a new cut of Wim Wender's Palermo Shooting and Laurent Cantet's Entre les murs, the winner of the 2008 Palme d'or. Quebecois cinema will be as usual well represented with new work from the province's key authors, including Robert Morin, Denis Côte, Rodrigue Jean and Rafael Ouellet. The icing on the cake is a visit from legendary filmmaker John Boorman who'll receive a much deserved achievement award. It begins on October 8th with Oliver Asselin's Un capitalisme sentimental and it's gonna be awesome.
