TORONTO – TFO has selected 13 of Canada’s best films to appear in English and French on Le cinéma canadien/Canadian Cinema starting Monday.
The selection of internationally acclaimed films will include Xavier Dolan's Cannes-selected J'ai Tué Ma Mère and La Face Cachée de la Lune by Robert Lepage to all viewers in French with English subtitles. CinéTFO will also make French Canadian films accessible to cinephile audiences through English subtitling, while Anglophone films like Away From Her, by Sarah Polley will be subtitled in French.
Le cinéma canadien/Canadian Cinema will air Monday’s at 9:00 PM from October 6 to December 29, 2014. Throughout the three-month series, TFO will also post a selection of the subtitled films here.
“Offering these great Canadian films in a way both Anglophones and Francophones can experience and appreciate, is our way of straddling the two solitudes," said CinéTFO host Claudia Hébert, in the news release. “We take great pride in the wide and diverse selection of global and local films we have curated for our nightly CinéTFO line-up and are able to show commercial-free.”
