For the eighth year running, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City is presenting an exhibit and screening the Canada’s most notable English and French films of the year.
If you’re in New York from March 16 to 21, you can catch the screenings of two musicals, two documentaries and four diverse dramas – a little taste of the Canadian mosaic.
Two Ontario musicals include Score: A Hockey Musical about a teen hockey player who becomes a national sensation, and Small Town Murder Songs a scenic film noir set in a small-town Mennonite community.
You can also check out two documentaries, Beauty Day stars Jackass forerunner, cable-access daredevil Cap’n Video aka Ralph Zavadil, while the other is Sturla Gunnarsson’s Force of Nature: The David Suzuki Movie.
Other films include A Montreal Girl by Jeanne Crépeau, Jaloux by Patrick Demers, The Neighbor by Nagmeh Shirkhan, and Vital Signs by Sophie Dersape.
The event is organized each year by the film department at MoMA in collaboration with Telefilm Canada with the support of both the Consulate General and Quebec Government Office in New York.
