Stacey Donen, Artisitic Director of the Whistler Film Festival sent me his picks for the Canadian films this year.  Stacey schooled me in programming at TIFF a few years ago, so he's a guy everyone should listen too.  He also manages one of the major post-production facitilites in the city over at the Royal Cinema, which also shows some excellent movies throughout the year.  Check out what Stacey will be seeing at TIFF this year.

 "some of the Canadian films Stacey is looking forward to seeing:

LA DONATION - the final chapter of Bernard Emond's underrated and uncompromising trilogy.

THE TROTSKY - to follow the career of one of Canada's most intriguing new talents -  Jacob Tierney.

PETROPOLIS: AERIAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE ALBERTA TAR SANDS - Peter Mettler just may be, to me, the most important Canadian filmmaker of his generation.

EXCITED - because Bruce Swenney is really sexy!"
