    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.

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: BREAKFAST WITH SCOT
SYNOPSIS: BREAKFAST WITH SCOT is about a very straight gay couple – Sam, an ex-Toronto Maple Leaf, and Ed, the team’s lawyer – whose lifestyle and relationship are turned upside down when they become the guardians of Scot, a budding queen of an eleven-year-old boy. Reluctant to get involved in the first place, Sam and Ed find themselves in conflict with each other about bringing Scot into their already full and rich lives. Feelings change, however, as the pair are caught off-guard by this unique young character who is joyously and unashamedly himself.

This thoughtful comedy takes a look at homosexuality in professional sports and society’s resistance to accepting gay heroes. The National Hockey League takes a progressive step by endorsing BREAKFAST WITH SCOT and granting the production rights to use NHL and Toronto Maple Leafs’ names and likeness in the film.

    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.

A small town girl, Alberta, struggles to control her fate when she takes on her roommate Celene’s identity as a dominatrix to pay the bills.

In the midst of their strange, sexually charged role-play, they are interrupted by a trio of criminals who make it clear they aren’t leaving until Paul hands over the half million dollars they’re convinced he stole from them. When it becomes apparent that Paul is not going to reveal the whereabouts of the cash, the trio targets Alberta, thrusting her and Celene into leading roles in this dangerous game.

SYNOPSIS: Adapted from the critically-acclaimed play by tour-de-force author Tom Walmsley, BLOOD tells the story of reuniting siblings Noelle and Chris. Noelle, a sometimes prostitute aching for a fix after three months of parole-enforced abstinence, is desperate for cash. Noelle's money-making plan for turning a kinky threesome trick changes when her usual partners are busy and her long-lost brother Chris returns. What follows is a hypnotic dance of blurred moralities and incestuous explorations. For 90 real-time minutes the siblings push each other through often violent examinations of lusts and weaknesses spanning drugs, love, death and power. They trade control and fantasies in a debate between destroying and reconciling with the other. By experimenting with the many manifestations of love, the result is a blunt, passionate, and darkly comic look at two people struggling for salvation.
