The Blue Mountain Film + Media Festival (Ontario, Canada) have unveiled the line-up for the upcoming edition (May 29th – June 1st). Cherry picking some of the better films from last year’s Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard section, Jason Gorber the Director of Film Programming lassoed the likes of Black Dog, Holy Cow!, Souleymane’s Story and Gints Zilbalodis’ Flow alongside Director’s Fortnight selections Eephus and Canadiana supreme in Matthew Rankin’s Universal Language. Chloé Robichaud’s recent Sundance winner Two Women and Scott McGehee and David Siegel’s The Friend (TIFF selection) are among the highlights of the 32 film programme. You can find the film selections below including Star Wars (Anangong Miigaading), A New Hope in the Ojibwe (Anishinaabemowin) language – pretty neat.
