BEVERLY HILLS, CA — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences today announced that 10 films remain in the running in the Visual Effects category for the 86th Oscars®.

The films are listed below in alphabetical order:

Elysium
Gravity
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Iron Man 3
The Lone Ranger
Oblivion
Star Trek Into Darkness
Thor: The Dark World
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Pacific Rim

The Academy's Visual Effects Branch Executive Committee determined the shortlist. All members of the Visual Effects Branch will now be invited to view 10-minute excerpts from each of the shortlisted films on Thursday, January 9, 2014. Following the screenings, the members will vote to nominate five films for final Oscar consideration.

Oscars nominations will be announced live on Thursday, January 16, 2014, at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2013 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, March 2, 2014, at the Dolby Theatre® at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.

Three partner organizations, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), Telefilm Canada and Quebec’s Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC), have joined their efforts so that audiences across Canada can take part this year in The Shortest Day Short Film Celebration, an event started by the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image (CNC) in France that has now spread to some 20 other countries. This free event, dedicated to the promotion and screening of short films, is a first for North America and is presented with the support of the CNC. It offers an entertaining way of welcoming the winter solstice—the shortest day of the year—on December 21.

The Shortest Day Short Film Celebration will feature screenings of more than 30 Canadian shorts organized into four thematic programs: Kids, Family, Comedy/Dark Humour and Festival Films. These films reflect the diversity of this very contemporary art form, a genre that is becoming more and more popular in this era of Facebook, YouTube and smartphones.

Screenings across the country
List of screening locations by province and territory. From Newfoundland and Labrador to Yukon, more than 60 participating venues—mainly movie theatres, cultural centres, associations, festivals and libraries—will join the event and hold screenings of one or several of the four thematic programs. It’s an opportunity to discover films and filmmakers close to home—whether you like going to the movies alone, with family or with friends.

“With support from Telefilm Canada and SODEC, and with our networks, The Shortest Day is one more way of letting people learn about our creative talents and providing access to their accomplished, amazing and often avant-garde works,” added Tom Perlmutter, Government Film Commissioner and NFB Chairperson.

“Telefilm Canada is very pleased that this event is taking short films to larger audiences across the country,” said Michel Roy, Chair of Telefilm Canada. Through initiatives such as The Shortest Day and Not Short on Talent, Telefilm promotes Canadian talent around the world. On December 21, we’ll have the opportunity to discover some of tomorrow’s leading filmmakers, given that many of those who direct short films at the start of their careers go on to become feature-film directors.”

“From Baie-Comeau to Alma, by way of Rimouski and Sherbrooke, movie lovers of all ages will have the chance to discover a variety of creative and fascinating movie worlds during The Shortest Day,” said Doris Girard, Chair of SODEC. “We are particularly pleased by the extraordinary response to the initiative from movie theatres across Quebec. They have shown a keen interest in short films by including this day dedicated to short film in their programming. SODEC appreciates the support that exhibitors are giving to short films and thanks them for their participation.”

Winners in the 2013 IDA Documentary Awards were announced during last night's program at the Directors Guild of America, giving Jehane Noujaim's The Square top honors with the Best Feature Award. The first major film acquisition by Netflix, The Square follows a group of Egyptian activists as they battle leaders and regimes, and risk their lives to build a new society of conscience.

Also announced in the ceremony was the Best Short Award, which honored Slomo, directed by Josh Izenberg. An inspirational portrait of neurologist turned rollerblader, Dr. John Kitchin, Slomo has been an audience favorite at festivals around the world garnering a number of audience and jury awards.

During the ceremony, which was hosted by comedian and award-winning stage and screen actor, Paul Provenza, two series awards were also presented. The Best Continuing Series Award went to the PBS series Independent Lens. Now in its 12th season, the weekly series features original documentary films made by some of the best independent filmmakers working today. The Best Limited Series Award went to the CNN Original Series Inside Man, hosted by Oscar®-nominated documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock.

IDA’s Career Achievement Award was presented to Academy Award®– and Emmy Award-winning director, producer and writer Alex Gibney whose body of work includes Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God (2012), Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer (2010) and Taxi to the Dark Side (2007), which won an Oscar® for Best Documentary Feature. This year saw the release of Gibney’s latest films We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks and The Armstrong Lie. Producer Matthew Tolmach (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Armstrong Lie) presented the Career Achievement Award to Gibney.

Presented for just the fourth time in the 29-year history of the Awards, the IDA Amicus Award went to Impact Partners co-founder Geralyn Dreyfous, who also founded the Utah Film Center. Dreyfous’ executive producing and producing credits include the Academy Award®-winning Born Into Brothels, The Invisible War, as well as 2013's The Square and The Crash Reel. Presented by Academy Award®-winning actor and advocate Geena Davis, the IDA Amicus Award recognizes friends of the documentary community who have contributed significantly to the field.

Filmmaker Laura Poitras received IDA’s Courage Under Fire Award, in recognition of "conspicuous bravery in the pursuit of truth." Along with Glenn Greenwald, Poitras broke the story of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, revealing the PRISM program. Poitras is working on a trilogy of films about America post 9/11, which includes My Country, My Country (2006) and The Oath (2010). Poitras is currently in Berlin editing the third film of the trilogy, a documentary about NSA surveillance, and accepted the award via live remote. Presenting the award to Poitras in Los Angeles was William Binney, who worked at the National Security Agency for over 30 years before resigning in protest over the agency’s data mining programs.

The Jacqueline Donnet Emerging Documentary Filmmaker Award, which recognizes the achievements of a filmmaker who has made a significant impact at the beginning of his or her career in documentary film, was presented to Zachary Heinzerling. Cutie and the Boxer, Heinzerling’s feature documentary debut, premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival, receiving the US Documentary Directing Award.

SPIRITED AWAY: THE FILMS OF STUDIO GHIBLI
Featuring the rarely-screened Grave of the Fireflies
December 13 to January 3 at TIFF Bell Lightbox

This holiday season, TIFF Cinematheque presents a retrospective devoted to Japan’s Studio Ghibli — one of the most influential film studios in the world. Following its spectacularly popular run in the spring of 2012, Spirited Away: The Films of Studio Ghibli returns from December 13 to January 3 to delight TIFF Bell Lightbox audiences with a near-exhaustive 18-film collection that includes a blend of new 35-mm and digital prints. The showcase pays homage to the studio’s legendary Japanese animation team led by Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, its trademark animation style, powerful storytelling, and deeply felt humanism.

TIFF is honoured to finally feature the rarely-screened masterpiece Grave of the Fireflies, one of Ghibli's supreme accomplishments and regarded by many as the greatest animated film of all time. The lineup also includes From Up On Poppy Hill, a father-son collaboration between studio co-founder Miyazaki and his son Goro; beloved classics such as My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke and Kiki’s Delivery Service; rarely seen titles Only Yesterday and The Ocean Waves; and Hayao Miyazaki's Academy Award®-winning Spirited Away.

Audiences will have the chance to experience many of the films in two versions: in their original language with English subtitles, and star-studded dubbed versions voiced by high-profile talent including Cate Blanchett, Dakota Fanning, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Anna Paquin, Kirsten Dunst, Billy Bob Thornton, Minnie Driver, Amy Poehler, Claire Danes and Liam Neeson. To kick off the series, avid cinephile and celebrated director Guillermo del Toro leads a Master Class session on December 12 that will consider Miyazaki’s artistry with an extended introduction and post-screening discussion of Castle in the Sky.

Tickets for screenings go on sale December 4 for TIFF Members, and December 11 for the public.

The Master Class with Guillermo del Toro is currently sold out. A limited number of tickets will be available to the rush line 10 minutes before the start of the screening.


Screenings include: (S) = Subtitled version, (D) = English-dubbed version

Castle in the Sky (Tenkû no shiro rapyuta)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 1986 | 125 min. | PG | 35 mm
Hayao Miyazaki’s dazzling action-adventure epic was the first film released under the Studio Ghibli banner, establishing the studio’s trademark art style, its tradition of strong female protagonists, and the political/ecological underpinnings of its intricate fantasies. The young heroine Sheeta possesses a powerful crystal that might hold the key to the discovery of Laputa, a legendary floating city concealed within a violent thundercloud. Escaping from the clutches of the sinister Colonel Muska, Sheeta joins forces with engineering apprentice Pazu and the two friends set out to find Laputa on their own, hotly pursued by Muska’s men and a band of sky pirates lusting after Laputa’s fabled treasure hoard. Released in an excellent English-dubbed version by Disney in 2003 (with the voice talents of Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, and Mark Hamill), Castle in the Sky is a luminous testament to the power of hand-drawn animation.

My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari no Totoro)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 1988 | 86 min. | G | digital
Miyazaki’s most beloved film (and most beloved character), My Neighbor Totoro eschews the frenetic pacing, vulgarity and violence of so much children’s entertainment in favour of warmth, gentle humour and wide-eyed wonderment. When the Kusakabe family moves to a new home next door to a dark forest, sisters Satsuki and Mei discover that the house and the woods abound with spirits and strange creatures, most notably the massive but good-natured Totoro, who befriends the girls and takes them on a series of magical adventures. Along with the very different Akira, My Neighbor Totoro helped bring Japanese animation to global attention, with Totoro himself becoming a genuine folk hero; his grinning, balloon-like countenance adorns Studio Ghibli’s logo and its Tokyo headquarters.

Howl’s Moving Castle (Hauru no ugoku shiro)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 2004 | 119 min. | PG | 35 mm
When Sophie, a teenage girl who works in her father’s hat shop, meets the charismatic wizard Howl, she inadvertently arouses the wrathful jealousy of the evil Witch of the Waste, who casts a spell that turns Sophie’s face and body into that of a 90-year-old woman. Seeking to dispel the curse, Sophie is led to Howl’s castle, a colossal, sentient flying machine, and embarks with the wizard on a series of magical adventures and into the crucible of a destructive war that Howl is desperately trying to stop. Adapting and considerably altering Diana Wynne Jones’ eponymous fantasy novel, Miyazaki creates one of his most visually inventive works, and introduces a deeply felt pacifist theme which he stated was inspired by his outrage over the American invasion of Iraq. One of the most financially successful Japanese films of all time, Howl’s Moving Castle appeared on numerous critics’ 10-best lists upon its North American release, and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Kaze no tani no Naushika)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 1984 | 117 min. | PG | 35 mm
A breathtakingly ambitious sci-fi/fantasy epic, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind brought a new artistic credibility to anime, and its success led to the founding of Studio Ghibli. Nausicaä is a warrior princess from the Valley of the Wind, the last bastion of civilization in a world whose ecosystem has been destroyed in the wake of an apocalyptic war. When an airship bearing one of the monstrous creatures used in the war crashes in the Valley, Nausicaä is forced to defend her homeland against two warring clans who seek to claim the living weapon for themselves, even as the giant insects that thrive in the vast toxic jungle threaten to wipe out an unworthy humanity once and for all. A visual marvel, featuring some of the greatest monsters in the Ghibli canon, Nausicaä established the ecological and political themes that would form the philosophical foundation of the great Ghibli films to come.

Only Yesterday (Omohide poro poro)
dir. Isao Takahata | Japan 1991 | 118 min. | PG | 35 mm
Taeko Okajima, an office girl from Tokyo, decides to take a 10-day vacation in the country. Not having any close family to stay with, she chooses to visit some relatives of her sister’s husband and work on their safflower farm. The slow, laborious process of harvesting the crops gives Taeko an opportunity to reflect on her past, and what her life goals might be. With flashbacks to her school days, we follow Taeko’s thoughts as she becomes aware that her life, although steadily evolving, has for the most part been unfulfilling and aimless. Taeko finds a friend in Toshio, a second cousin who supports organic farming, and through their friendship she re-evaluates her life, realizing that with a little help from the past, she may yet be able to build a new future. Never released on home video in North America, Only Yesterday offers a study on the profound beauty of rural life, positioned alongside nostalgic and humorous recollections of 1960s Japan.
Sunday, December 15 at 7 p.m. (S)

Porco Rosso (Kurenai no buta)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 1992 | 94 min. | G | 35 mm
After a mysterious encounter in the skies during World War I, famed flying ace Marco Rossolini was cursed to look like a pig. Now known as Porco Rosso, he works as a flying bounty hunter on the sun-kissed Adriatic Sea protecting ships from sky pirates, and repairing often to the Hotel Adriano and the company of his friend (and possible love interest) Gina. After a run-in with a band of pirates and their hired American gun Curtis, Porco has his plane repaired by Fio, the mechanically-gifted daughter of a long time friend, who soon becomes an unwitting pawn in the duel between Porco and Curtis, who has eyes for Gina himself. Placing Miyazaki’s trademark brand of whimsical fantasy within an unusually specific historical and political context — the post-WWI depression and the rise of Italian fascism — Porco Rosso is a high-flying adventure with a porcine twist, and was the highest-grossing film of its year in Japan.
Tuesday, December 17 at 6:30 p.m. (S)
Sunday December 22 at 3:30 p.m. (D)

Kiki’s Delivery Service (Majo no takkyūbin)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 1989 | 102 min. | G | 35 mm
On the occasion of her 13th birthday, klutzy witch-in-training Kiki leaves her hometown in the company of her talking black cat Jiji, as it is customary for all witches to live alone for a year when they reach 13. Settling in a quaint seaside town, Kiki starts her own broom-borne courier business, but finds that her powers are fading in the face of her insecurity and self-doubt. Taking place in a gorgeously rendered, geography- and era-blurring alternate reality — Miyazaki himself provided many of the intricate hand-painted backdrops — Kiki’s Delivery Service is a sweet-natured and inspirational coming-of-age story, forgoing grand adventure for the discoveries and epiphanies of everyday life. Released in an English-dubbed version by Disney in 1998, with Kirsten Dunst as Kiki and the late Phil Hartman as Jiji, Kiki’s Delivery Service has proven to be one of the most popular Ghibli titles in North America.
Thursday, December 19 at 6:30 p.m. (S)

Tuesday, December 31 at 1 p.m. (D)

Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no haka)
dir. Isao Takahata | Japan 1988 | 90 min. | PG | digital
Rarely screened in Canada, Isao Takahata’s masterpiece was unavailable for TIFF’s previous Studio Ghibli retrospective; so it is a thrill to be able to present it for the series’ return engagement. In Kobe, Japan in 1945, teenager Seita has become accustomed to the presence of American bomber planes flying overhead, but on one fateful day he experiences their full, destructive power: after a firebomb raid on the city, his mother is horribly burned and his neighbourhood is set aflame, leaving him and his five-year-old sister Setsuko homeless. As the final, bloody days of the war rage around them, the two children must learn to survive with little shelter, less food, and even scarcer hope. A film of profound emotional resonance and the zenith of Ghibli’s humanist storytelling, Grave of the Fireflies is perhaps the most important film ever created at the studio — and as a decisive declaration of animation’s ability to tell any kind of story, even the most tragic and painful, it ranks as one of the greatest animated films of all time.
Friday, December 20 at 6:30 p.m. (S) — introduction by Jesse Wente, Head of Film Programmes, TIFF Bell Lightbox
Wednesday, January 1 at 6:30 p.m. (S)

Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 2001 | 125 min. | PG | 35 mm
Winner of the top prize at the Berlin Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, Spirited Away is Studio Ghibli’s best-known and most critically-acclaimed work, and a modern classic of the animated film. After they move to a small suburban town, 10-year-old Chihiro and her parents discover what seems to be an abandoned amusement park which mysteriously contains a restaurant with plenty of food, but no customers. When her parents are turned into pigs after sampling the restaurant’s cuisine, Chihiro discovers that the park is a haven for hundreds of spirits and monsters ruled over by the bobble-headed witch Yubaba. In order to save her parents, Chihiro is forced to work odd jobs in the spirit world, where she finds herself in the midst of a feud between Yubaba and her gentle twin sister. Featuring some of Miyazaki’s most dazzlingly imaginative creations — most notably the alarmingly immense masked spirit called No Face — Spirited Away is a visual wonder and a uniquely philosophical take on the standard coming-of-age story.

Pom Poko (Heisei tanuki gassen ponpoko)
dir. Isao Takahata | Japan 1994 | 119 min. | G | 35 mm
Tanuki, the legendary Japanese raccoon-dogs, are fun-loving creatures who live deep in the ancient forests. If you don’t see them, don’t be fooled: their enormous pouches endow them with the power to create fantastic illusions, allowing them to transform into just about anything — even humans — to play tricks on us. Threatened by the encroachment of suburban developments for decades, one group of tanuki finally resolve to wage war against the workers and machines by relearning the ways of their ancestors. Rigorously trained with the aid of three tribal elders from the distant island of Shikoku, the insurgent tanuki use their illusion magic to stage a series of spectacular interventions to stop the invading humans once and for all. Isao Takahata’s whirlwind adventure is one of Ghibli’s most pointed and powerful ecological allegories, boldly mixing its funny animal animation with striking moments of action and tragedy.

Tuesday, December 24 at 1 p.m. (D)

The Cat Returns (Neko no ongaeshi)
dir. Hiroyuki Morita | Japan 2002 | 75 min. | PG | 35 mm
After high-school student Haru rescues an elegant black cat from being hit by a speeding delivery truck, the awkward teenager finds her locker inundated with gift-wrapped mice and her desk inscribed with crayoned cat-hieroglyphs. It turns out that the feline in question was Lune, Prince of the Cat Kingdom, and following a visit from the ultimate aristocrat — the Cat King himself! — Haru is plunged into the cats’ underground realm, where she finds that the hardest part of growing up is staying yourself — quite literally, when her body starts to take on an unmistakably feline cast. Alice in Wonderland meets The Metamorphosis with the never-fails kawaii factor of cat-anthropomorphism in the debut feature by second-generation Ghibli animator Hiroyuki Morita, which carries over the popular character of The Baron (a debonair, top-hatted cat figurine come to life) from the studio’s 1995 film Whisper of the Heart.

Whisper of the Heart (Mimi wo sumaseba)
dir. Yoshifumi Kondō | Japan 1995 | 111 min. | G | 35 mm
As she approaches the last summer of junior high, 14-year-old Shizuku determines to read as many books as possible in preparation for her future career as a writer. After meeting a boy named Seiji, whose taunts clearly indicate that he has a crush on her, Shizuku discovers an antique shop whose array of fantastical items inspires her to start writing a book starring the shop’s most intriguing artifact, a top-hatted cat figurine called The Baron. This sensitive teenage love story was the first and last film directed by Yoshifumi Kondō, Miyazaki’s anointed successor at Ghibli, who died suddenly in 1998. (Miyazaki wrote in his eulogy for his long-time friend and collaborator that “his drawings were shining with the real admiration towards youthful freedom”). Whisper of the Heart was the highest-grossing film of its year in Japan, and its gorgeously rendered fantasy sequences representing Shizuku’s tales of The Baron (directed by Miyazaki) proved so popular that Ghibli made a spin-off film starring the dapper feline, The Cat Returns.

Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 1997 | 134 min. | 14 A | 35 mm
Sixteen years in the making, Princess Mononoke was Miyazaki’s most ambitious and expensive film to date, a sweeping, gorgeously detailed historical fantasy with a powerful ecological message. After killing a rampaging boar-demon that attacked his village, a brave young warrior named Ashitaka is stricken by a curse that vastly increases his strength but will eventually kill him. Travelling to the west in search of a cure, Ashitaka comes upon Iron Town, an industrial settlement whose workforces are clear-cutting the nearby forest. Soon embroiled in a war between Iron Town and the forest’s giant animal gods, who are led by a young human girl named San — nicknamed Princess Mononoke (“Monster”) by the townsfolk — Ashitaka must try and bring peace to this war-torn land. Packed with high adventure and featuring some of Miyazaki’s most remarkable creations, Princess Mononoke was the highest-grossing film of its year in Japan, and the subsequent 1999 North American release (featuring the voices of Billy Crudup, Claire Danes, Billy Bob Thornton and Minnie Driver) further heightened Ghibli’s international reputation.

From Up on Poppy Hill (Kokuriko-zaka kara)
dir. Goro Miyazaki | Japan 2011 | 91 min. | PG | digital
The highest-grossing Japanese film released in Japan in 2011 (co-written by the legendary director and Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, and directed by his son Goro) is a story of young love and cultural renewal set in 1960s Tokyo. Every morning, the teenage Umi raises flags as a blessing to passing sailors, and her goodwill catches the attention of schoolmate Shun, who writes the anonymous flag-raiser a poem in the school newspaper. Joining Shun’s campaign to save the school clubhouse from being destroyed as Tokyo prepares for the 1964 Olympics, Umi soon falls for the charming and passionate young activist. The lovely and understated From Up on Poppy Hill features gorgeous animation, a surprisingly eclectic score (surf music in a Ghibli film!), and evokes such gently
humanistic Ghibli classics as Only Yesterday.
Wednesday, December 25 at 6:45 p.m. (S)

The Secret World of Arrietty (Kari-gurashi no Arietti)
dir. Hiromasa Yonebayashi | Japan 2010 | 94 min. | G | digital
Arriving at his aunt’s country house to rest before undergoing a heart operation, young Sho makes a strange and unexpected new friend: Arrietty, a beautiful 14-year-old and four-inch-tall girl who lives with her equally miniscule family in the secret recesses of the house, “borrowing” the small amounts of food they need to survive. Living in mortal fear of the “giants” whose houses they covertly inhabit, the Borrowers have kept their existence a secret for eons; and despite the growing friendship between Sho and Arrietty, the girl’s father declares that the entire family must find a new home. Based on Mary Norton’s classic children’s book The Borrowers, The Secret World of Arrietty was yet another triumph for Studio Ghibli, becoming the highest-grossing film at the Japanese box office for 2010 and winning the best animated film prize at the Japanese Academy Awards. This English-language version, released in North America by Disney, features the voices of Saoirse Ronan as Arrietty, along with Will Arnett, Carol Burnett and Amy Poehler.
Thursday, December 26 at 4 p.m. (D)

Ponyo (Gake no ue no Ponyo)
dir. Hayao Miyazaki | Japan 2008 | 100 min. | G | 35 mm
Ponyo is a fish-girl who lives in an underwater castle with her father and several sisters. Wanting to see more of the world, she floats away on the back of a jellyfish and finds herself stranded on the shore of a small fishing village, where she is rescued by a five-year-old boy named Sōsuke. Falling in love with Sōsuke, Ponyo determines to transform herself into a human using her father’s magic — but the forces she unleashes throws the natural balance out of order, resulting in a massive storm and a life-or-death challenge for Sōsuke. Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and incorporating the customary Ghibli ecological message, Ponyo marked Miyazaki’s return to more lighthearted fare and a new level of craftsmanship: the intricate animation of the sea and waves (much of it drawn by the director himself) resulted in the production of 170,000 separate images, a record for a Miyazaki film.

The Ocean Waves (Umi ga kikoeru)
dir. Tomomi Mochizuki| Japan 1993 | 72 min. | 14A | digital
Rarely seen outside of Japan, The Ocean Waves is one of Ghibli’s most poignant and unsung masterpieces, capturing the joys and drama of adolescence and teenage alienation with subtle insight and affecting sensitivity. Kōchi is your average coastal town on the sleepy, idyllic island of Shikoku, and young Taku is definitely your average high school student. But soon his quiet life will be turned upside down with the arrival of Rikako, a beautiful transfer student recently arrived from Tokyo. Taku and his best friend Yutaka are drawn in by Rikako's complicated family life and mercurial temperament, but as rumours start to spread at school the trio finds their friendship tested by changing relationships and the onset of adulthood. The first Ghibli film to be directed by someone other than Miyazaki or Takahata, The Ocean Waves was a project initiated and controlled by the studio’s younger artists under the supervision of 34-year-old director Tomomi Mochizuki, melding the classic Ghibli style with a more consciously mature narrative that reflects the concerns of the studio’s new generational cohort.

My Neighbors the Yamadas (Hōhokekyo tonari no Yamada-kun)
dir. Isao Takahata | Japan 1999 | 104 min. | G | 35 mm
This rarely-seen gem is a considerable departure for Studio Ghibli in terms of both style and story: not only does this gently humorous domestic comedy eschew the wild flights of imagination of Miyazaki’s fantasies or the historical gravity of director Isao Takahata’s acclaimed Grave of the Fireflies, but its comic strip-style animation (distinctly different from the traditional Ghibli style) was also created entirely on computers, making it the first Ghibli film to be made without traditional hand-drawn animation. In a series of titled vignettes such as “A Family Crisis,” “Marriage Yamada-Style” and “Patriarchal Supremecy Restored,” Takahata takes us into the daily lives of the Yamada family, which includes father Takashi and mother Matsuko, four-year-old daughter Nonoko, annoying older brother (is there any other kind?) Noboru, wise Grandma Shige, and family dog Pochi. Interweaving the family’s everyday life lessons with whimsical fantasy sequences, My Neighbors the Yamadas is a delightfully offbeat example of Ghibli’s focus on the intricacies of human relationships and the intersections of past and present.

Montreal, Monday, November 18, 2013– The Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) has the regret to announce the passing of filmmaker Peter Wintonick. A tribute had just been paid to him as part of the 16th edition of the festival.

Born in 1953 in Trenton, Ontario, but established in Montreal for a long time, documentarian Peter Wintonick passed away this Monday, November 18, at the age of 60, struck by liver cancer. A producer, a director, a critic, an editor and a programmer, Peter Wintonick devoted a large part of his life to independent cinema. His filmography included fiction features, documentaries, educative and sociopolitical films.

Wintonick had notably produced and directed with Mark Achbar Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, which won many international awards. Among his filmography, we also find Cinéma Vérité: Defining the Moment and Seeing Is Believing: Handicams, Human Rights and the News. Peter Wintonick regularly collaborated to different film magazines and with several festivals and institutions throughout the world. He also taught cinema in several universities, notably at Concordia University. In 2006, Peter Wintonick received the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts.

Yesterday, the RIDM organized a special screening of PilgrIMAGE, his last film codirected with his daughter Mira Burt-Wintonick, in order to pay tribute to him and to gather all of the filmmaker’s friends together around a brunch. Several of them were able to share stories and memories with the people present. Daniel Cross (EyeSteelFilm) presented Peter Wintonick as "the Buddha that holds our international documentary community together with love, empathy, peace and justice."

The Montreal International Documentary Festival offers its most sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Peter Wintonick.

Quebec’s only film festival dedicated to documentaries, the Montreal International Documentary Festival presents the best reality-based films, including the works of established directors and new talents.

The 16th RIDM are taking place from November 13 to 24, 2013 at Cinéma du Parc, Excentris, the Cinémathèque québécoise and Concordia University.

PLANET IN FOCUS ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL OPENS TOMORROW
John Walker’s visually evocative feature doc, Arctic Defenders opens the Festival

Wednesday, November 20, 2013: Planet in Focus (PIF), Canada’s largest environmentally themed film festival, is proud to announce its robust line-up of features and short films to be screened at the 14th annual Planet in Focus Environmental Film Festival taking place in Toronto on November 21-24th, 2013.

John Walker’s Arctic Defenders is the Opening Night Film and provides a startling revelation that the Canadian government secretly moved Inuit communities into the High Arctic, without proper resources, in order to defend our sovereignty. Italian filmmaker Enrico Cerasuolo’s Last Call is the Closing Night Film and revisits the writers and the theories presented in the 1972 book “The Limits to Growth”, dubbed ‘one of the most important documents of our age’ by the New York Times, the book, explored the impact of over population, industrialization, pollution, food production and resource depletion.

“This year, PIF’s film line-up captures a clear snapshot of the state of our environment”, says Dawn Kuisma, Executive Director of Planet in Focus. “From the breathtaking, but endangered landscape of Canada’s High Arctic in John Walker’s Arctic Defenders to the depths of the Canadian owned goldmines in Gold Fever, and in the troubled oceans and rivers of Tyler Mifflin’s, Water Brothers: The Pure and the Poisoned, and Markus Schmidt’s The Last Catch, PIF audiences will explore some of the most beautiful and also most at risk areas of our planet.”

Kuisma adds “PIF’s new Fest Forum will present four films accompanied by panel discussions with filmmakers, academics, scientists and activists who care deeply about our world. The issues of focus for 2013 include: Climate Change, Activism, Water and GMOs. We’re pleased to have 14-year old, Rachel Parent as part of our discussion on GMOs. We hope to inspire individuals of all ages to make positive change by presenting ‘3 Actionable Items’ with every film which can be easily executed.”

British talent turned out this evening for the 16th Moët British Independent Film Awards. The winners were announced at the star-studded ceremony, held at Old Billingsgate which was hosted by BIFA Winning actor James Nesbitt.

For the first time, the lucky winners took home the brand new iconic award designed by Fredrikson Stallard and created by Swarovski. The awards ceremony was streamed live exclusively online at www.film3sixty.com/moetbifa

Best British Independent Film was won by METRO MANILA with the film’s director Sean Ellis picking up Best Director. Lindsay Duncan won Best Actress for LE WEEK-END and James McAvoy won Best Actor for FILTH. Imogen Poots collected her BIFA for Best Supporting Actress for THE LOOK OF LOVE and Ben Mendelsohn took home Best Supporting Actor for STARRED UP.

METRO MANILA won the most awards on the night, picking up three trophies for Best Achievement in Production and as previously mentioned Best Director award and Best British Independent Film.

Joint Directors, The Moët British Independent Film Awards Johanna von Fischer & Tessa Collinson said: "This year our independent jury had an extremely tough job, they were asked to choose from an impressive pool of talent and creativity in a year where the diversity of storytelling is more extreme than ever. Thanks to an independent film industry which encompasses so many different cultures, personalities, visions and voices, Britain is producing a new generation of fearless artists both behind and in front of the camera who represent that richness of our diverse British society. With so many of the films exploring themes about being less judgmental and more forgiving, this perhaps reflects a movement within British independent filmmaking that brings much hope for the future.”

As previously announced, Julie Walters was awarded the coveted Richard Harris Award for outstanding contribution by an actor to British film, and Paul Greengrass the Variety Award, which recognises an actor, director, writer or producer who has helped to shine the international spotlight on the UK. The Special Jury Prize went to Sixteen Films & Friends (AKA Team Loach), in recognition of their contribution, bringing the work of Ken Loach to life.

Ben Roberts, Director of the BFI Film Fund said: 'this has been a standout year for British film and the BIFAs has once again kicked off the awards season in style, putting the wild creativity and bold storytelling of the UK's independent sector centre stage. Congratulations to all the winners and to the BIFAs for doing such a great job of spotlighting so many brilliant filmmakers.'

Elsa Corbineau, Marketing Director Moët & Chandon commented: “As a long term supporter of British film, Moët & Chandon is delighted to share in the celebrations of tonight's very well deserved winners. To toast the successes of 2013, guests joined us in creating a seven - foot champagne fountain to salute a year of amazing achievements.'

The Raindance Award was won by THE MACHINE. Elliot Grove, Founder of BIFA and the Raindance Film Festival added: “The breadth, scope and quality of this year's nominated films shows that British independent films and talent are not only the talk of the town but the talk of audiences everywhere.”

Surprisingly, Lee Daniels' The Butler was shut out of the nominations entirely. Also shut out were Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners, Ben Stiller's The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station.
