December 13, 2006 And this country's best films are … Jury's Top 10 list is just as notable for the movies that didn't make the cut by Liam Lacey The Top 10 films include three documentaries about the environment, one feature film mostly in the Inuktitut language (Zacharias Kunuk and Norman Cohn's The Journals of Knud Rasmussen) and dramas about Alzheimer's disease (Sarah Polley's feature directing debut, Away from Her) and political radicalism (Reginald Harkema's Monkey Warfare). November 24, 2006 Movie features gay Leaf NHL, Leafs give flick full support Due out in theatres next December by Randy Starkman, Sports Reporter The appearance of the first gay Toronto Maple Leaf will be groundbreaking, even if it is only in celluloid. Actor Tom Cavanaugh plays a gay ex-Leaf in a comedy film Breakfast With Scot currently being shot in the GTA and Hamilton. He’s one-half of a homosexual couple – his partner is the team lawyer – whose lives are turned upside down after becoming guardians of Scot, “a budding queen of an 11-year-old boy,” according to the storyline. September 22, 2006 Harry gets blown away by Terry Gilliam's TIDELAND @ Fantastic Fest!!! Every now and again at a festival you see a film that has a bad reputation – where you come out understanding the reputation, but TOTALLY DISAGREEING WITH IT. Where it so flipped in your mind what you thought going in … that you’ve just got to walk away from the festival and get to a quiet place – where the chatter and talk of a thousand excited film fans fades – and you’re left with your own internal monologue to explore at a keyboard. Tonight, that took place at FANTASTIC FEST – and the film that absolutely blew my mind was TIDELAND from Terry Gilliam. TIDELAND, for me, is a masterpiece. September 14, 2006 Sarah Polley: a star is reborn, behind the camera Directing her first movie, the ever-precocious Sarah Polley finds magic in age-old love by Brian D. Johnson Six years ago, Sarah Polley was flying home from Iceland when she first read Alice Munro's story about a woman who forgets she has a husband after a lifetime of marriage. September 13, 2006 Coupland, Polley showcase Canadiana at TIFF In her directorial debut Away From Her, Sarah Polley also incorporates elements of Canadiana into her film: residents in a nursing home cheer for the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team, a character is seen reading a book by Canadian author Alistair Macleod and appliances are bought at Canadian Tire. September 13, 2006 Lionsgate Gets Away From Her Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), the leading independent filmed entertainment studio, has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Sarah Polley’s critically acclaimed and audience pleasing drama AWAY FROM HER, it was jointly announced today by Lionsgate’s President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions Peter Block and President of Theatrical Films Tom Ortenberg. The studio plans a Spring 2007 release. September 11, 2006 Away from Her draws us close to husband's anguish by Geoff Pevere The winter sun may shine intensely throughout most of Sarah Polley's Away From Her, but the movie's real subject is darkness closing in. September 10, 2006 The New View Sarah Polley discusses her moving directorial debut, Away From Her by Katrina Onstad Perhaps it’s because as a former child actor, she grew up in an adult world, or perhaps she is just a young fogey, but the directorial debut of Sarah Polley, 27, has the assuredness of a film made by someone twice her age. Eschewing the hipster-soundtracked coming-of-age story that often marks the first outing of a young director — no Garden State gauze here — Polley has made Away From Her, a hushed, handsome adaptation of an Alice Munro story about a long-married couple in the throes of Alzheimer’s. September 7, 2006 From TV starlet to director, via a road less travelled by Leah McLaren "No one should have to go through puberty in a period costume," says Sarah Polley, fixing her interviewer with an unnerving, blue gaze that makes it almost impossible to tell whether she's joking. She cracks a smile and the clouds part. "It's really embarrassing." As she sits in the Café Diplomatico, in Toronto's west end, there is little of the crinoline-clad child star Canadians came to know in the '90s.
