Top brass at the 25th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (Psiff) have announced a new programme on Canadian Cinema as well as the traditionally strong roster of foreign-language films eligible for the Fipresci Award in the Awards Buzz section, and Modern Masters.
The festival will screen 45 of the 76 official foreign-language Oscar submissions under the umbrella of Awards Buzz.
“We’ve selected Canadian films for a special focus at this year’s festival for many reasons, not the least of which is the wealth of talent emerging from its relatively small, indigenous film industry, and the depth and richness of story and character portrayal its films exemplify,” said festival director Darryl Macdonald.
“Whether it’s established auteurs like Denis Coté, Denis Villenueve and Atom Egoyan, gifted actor-directors like Don McKellar and Sarah Polley or newly emerging talents like Chloé Robichaud, Craig Goodwill and Sébastien Pilote, Canadian creative ingenuity is on abundant display in its films. All of this...

Twitch Film has exclusively premiered a wonderful trailer that takes a cue from the great Stanley Kubrick when it comes to advertising for a film. The film is called Patch Town. Read below for the trailer, synopsis and even an on set interview with the cast & the director, Craig Goodwill.
Trailer
Synopsis
After years in a loving home, Jon, a toy, was forgotten, deserted and ultimately betrayed by his adoptive mother. He returns to live a sad life as a worker on the line; a life of factory work and oppression in a place where hundreds of cabbage babies are born every day. The thankless task of shucking, picking, and processing these newborns to go out into the world and to their new mothers has taken its toll on Jon. With each new birth, Jon slips deeper into sadness, lamenting the days when life was good and he was loved.

Twitch is proud to host this world exclusive premiere of the latest trailer for Craig Goodwill's Patch Town. The film is based on the award winning short (that Twitch covered way back in 2011) which played Tiff, Cannes and a slew of other fests to much acclaim. Now in 2013, the story has been expanded to feature length, using a bunch of the original cast and including a few new suprises. Patch Town is a quirky mix of genres and tone. It's got a David Lynch-meets-Little Shop Of Horrors vibe, complete with a dash of Cabbage Patch Kids nostalgia thrown in for good measure. There are strong performances and appropriately moody visuals, and having seen the finished project it's sure to find many fans of...

Craig Goodwill's narrative short directorial debut, Patch Town, is officially scheduled to debut at this year's Toronto International Film Festival in the Short Cuts Canada section. I've read the synopsis several times and I don't think I completely get it yet, but I will say that if it in any lives up to either the, "satirical comedy-meets-musical" vibe it's going for Or this amazingly awesome poster from The Dude Designs' Tom Hodge, I'm in! Patch Town stars Lisa Ray, the Toronto-born half-Bengali, half-Polish actress who has made her way from Indian regional cinema, to the cinema of the Indian diaspora, to English language indie fare. The rest of the cast is local, with mostly stage backgrounds which should work well with the musical component. I...
