The series kicks off with Michael McGowan's Still (pictured). One of the titles that has yet to be released theatrically, Still is one of the CT10 films I'd like to see. (I'm kicking myself for leaving Toronto early now that Genevieve Bujold is supposed to be attending the Friday screening.) Also worth noting is a discussion with Sarah Polley on her excellent film Stories We Tell, plus the short films, which you probably won't see anywhere else. Finally, make sure to use this chance to squeeze in a screening of Rebelle if you have not done so, since it's Canada's Oscar contender--correction, shortlisted Oscar contender.
