British filmmaker Fyzal Boulifa portrays the life of a young escort seen from the varied perspectives of her online reviewers in his film Rate Me. In Lone Rider Mathilde Delaunay uses remote Icelandic landscapes to accentuate her character’s struggles with the limitations of language and communication. Each film in this diverse group stands alone as a unique and innovative exploration of the short form. Shown together they provide the local community with a bold introduction to some of the most refreshing new voices in Canadian and International cinema.
As part of the third HIFF Programmer Initiative, programmers from Toronto International Film Festival, Festival du nouveau cinéma, Vancouver International Film Festival, Vienna Independent Shorts and REGARD – Saguenay International Short Film Festival will be in attendance.
