The theme for this year’s PFF is “Transition” — taking a step into the unknown and going on an adventure. The curated films explore various terrains to immerse yourself in, from minefields at the Iraqi-Turkish border to the great Australian Outback.
Opening the festival is Canadian director Xavier Dolan’s drama Mommy (2014), winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s Jury Prize. Starring Anne Dorval and Antoine-Olivier Pilon as a dynamic mother-son duo, the unorthodox 1:1 aspect ratio of the film harkens back to Dolan’s previous body of work that explores the complexity of human nature and relationships.
Beyond the cinematic experience, the festival has an exciting range of activities before and during the festival. In particular, acclaimed British director Martin Rosen, of Watership Down (1978), will lend insight into his creative process with a post screening dialogue and an animation masterclass.
