In a year that saw François Delisle’s Le météore (Sundance and Berlin Film Festival accepted film) receive no love (zero nominations), and Denis Côté’s critically well-received Vic + Flo Saw a Bear was perhaps too askew for the voting clique (it did grab best Actress for Quebec’s “Melissa Leo” in Pierrette Robitaille), it was a bigger than life biopic by helmer Daniel Roby that flexed its muscles, beating out the comp. The high gloss Louis Cyr won in several tech categories and it’s strongman Antoine Bertrand won for Best Actor. Considered the favorite to win the top prize, Gabrielle was awarded the Best Director and Screenplay awards for Louise Archambault. Oddly, that film received no Best Actress consideration while it did net Gabrielle Marion-Rivard a Best Actress win at Canadian Screen Awards. Here are the noms and winners of the 16th edition.

A few years ago I caught Pedro Pires' debut short film Danse Macabre which preceded a Canadian feature at Viff. I can't recall anything about the feature but I've never forgotten Pires' short. I looked up everything I could on the director and have been tracking his career since (his feature film debut Triptyque premiered at Tiff and was co-directed with Canadian legend Robert Lepage). I'm thrilled that everyone can now take in Pires' glorious short.
Phi Centre, who a few weeks ago released Denis Villeneuve's Next Floor, have released Pires' morbidly gorgeous short for free viewing. Watching this again, I'm stunned at how much of it I rememb [Continued ...]...

Triptyque (Triptych) Written by Robert Lepage Directed by Robert Lepage and Pedro Pires Canada, 2013 - Quebecois cinema has always been a beast very much apart from the rest of the country. It has a long and proud history of being bolder, ballsier, and more artistically uncompromising than English Canadian film on the whole. Since Jésus de Montréal became the most widely-praised film to come out of the province (not directed by Denys Arcand, that is), Robert Lepage was a mainstay – that is, until he took a decade off to pursue other interests, particularly theater. Triptych marks his return, armed with a new collaborator, short-film director Pedro Pires, who assisted in bringing one of Lepage’s plays, Triptych, to the screen. The result avoids many of the commoner pitfalls that tend to befall stage-to-screen adaptations, but doesn’t quite gel into the sort of satisfying whole that would place it alongside Lepage’s past triumphs.
