‘Brother,’ ‘Black Ice’ among the many movies on this 12 months’s Canada’s Top Ten listing from TIFF

A coming-of-age movie set in Scarborough and an immigrant story that’s been successful on the awards circuit are among the many Toronto International Film Festival’s high alternatives of the 12 months.

TIFF’s annual Canada’s Top Ten listing contains Clement Virgo’s newest mission “Brother,” primarily based on David Chariandy’s novel about two Trinidadian-Canadian brothers rising up in Nineties Scarborough, a neighbourhood in Toronto.

Also making the listing is “Black Ice,” by director Hubert Davis, a documentary that explores the position race performed in hockey via a group of first-hand accounts from gamers previous and current.

Another choose associated to identification is “Riceboy Sleeps,” primarily based on Korean Canadian director Anthony Shim’s experiences rising up in British Columbia within the Nineties, which has picked up awards at movie festivals in Toronto, Vancouver and Windsor, Ont.

TIFF says the Canada’s Top Ten alternatives will display Jan. 26 to 29 at TIFF Bell Lightbox.

It says the listing is chosen by programmers in session with business panellists, filmmakers and competition programmers from throughout Canada.

The different options that made the listing are: “Cette Maison” by Miryam Charles, “Crimes of the Future” by David Cronenberg, “I Like Movies” by Chandler Levack, “Something You Said Last Night” by Luis De Filippis, “To Kill a Tiger” directed by Nisha Pahuja, “Rosie” by Gail Maurice, and “Viking” by Stéphane Lafleur.
