TIFF Sesquicentennial Celebration - Canada's Essential 150 Films

Including drama, documentary, animation, shorts, etc, TIFF's ambitious programming to screen the 150 most important Canadian films ever made, in honour of Canada's 150th birthday, started off with a bang. In the first week I took in Sarah Polley's fascinating Stories We Tell, a moving documentary in Manufactured Landscapes featuring Edward Burtynsky and two terrific collections of short films. Check out the programming as there are many more amazing free screenings to come, as this initiative unfolds over the rest of this year.
