TITLE: AWAY FROM HER
SYNOPSIS:Married for 50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona's (Julie Christie) life together is full of tenderness and humour, their serenity broken only by Fiona's restrained references to the past, complicated further by her increasingly evident memory loss. Moving Fiona into a nursing home specializing in Alzheimer's disease, Grant is not allowed to visit for the first month so she can "adjust". When he sees her again, Fiona has forgotten him and turned her affection to Aubrey (Michael Murphy), another resident in the home. Heartbroken, Grant visits daily, bearing witness to the growing bond between her and Aubrey. When Aubrey's wife, Marian (Olympia Dukakis), takes Aubrey home, Fiona becomes deeply depressed, and Grant embarks on the greatest act of self-sacrifice of his life.

TITLE: QUILL
SYNOPSIS: "If you see only one Japanese seeing-eye-dog movie this year, let it be Quill. The opening scenes present a bounty of puppies so unbearably cute, they'll elicit a chorus of coos from even the stoniest audience. The movie's hero is a Labrador named Quill who undergoes the most demanding training regimen seen on screen since the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Smart, diligent and charming, he wins the affection of his stern trainer, Tawada, and his grumpy blind handler. Audiences are just as unlikely to resist him in Yoichi Sai's simply rendered and indisputably sweet film." - Jason Anderson, EYE Magazine.

TITLE: BROADWAY: THE GOLDEN AGE
SYNOPSIS: The most important, ambitious and comprehensive film ever made about America's most celebrated indigenous art form. It is award-winning filmmaker Rick McKay's journey over 4 continents and 5 years to find out whether there had been a golden age of theatre and why it had never been documented. He soon learned that great films can be restored, fine literature can be kept in print - but historic Broadway performances of the past are the most endangered. They leave only memories that, while more vivid, are more difficult to preserve. In their own words - and not a moment too soon - "Broadway" tells the stories of our theatrical legends, how they came to New York, and how they created this legendary century in American theatre.
DIRECTOR: Rick McKay
KEY CAST: Carol Channing, John Raitt , Chita Rivera, Robert Goulet, Angela Lansbury, Elaine Stritch and dozens and dozens of other major players.

TITLE: BALLETS RUSSES
SYNOPSIS: The revolutionary 20th-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes began as a group of Russian refugees, who never danced in Russia, and became not one but two rival dance troupes.

The film then explores the company's halcyon days of the 1930s and '40s, when the Ballets Russes toured America and finally the company's demise in 1950s and '60s.

TITLE: TIDELAND
SYNOPSIS: In the great tradition of child fantasy stories such as The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, Terry Gilliam takes us on a wild adventure with his adaptation of Mitch Cullin's cult classic novel. Welcome to the world of Jeliza-Rose, the young heroine and narrator of TIDELAND. What has brought Jeliza-Rose from the big city to the prairies? And why is her former rockabilly guitarist father not talking to her anymore? And who is making all that noise in the attic? Jeliza-Rose drifts from the harsh reality of her childhood and escapes into the fantasies of her own active imagination. This is a fantasy world to rival all others; here fireflies have names, bog-men awaken at dusk, monster sharks swim down railroad tracks, and disembodied Barbie heads share in her adventures. TIDELAND is as optimistic as it is surreal, as humorous as it is suspenseful - a celebration of the power of a child's imagination.
