  • A Celebration of Canada
What if there was no tomorrow? What if you knew the world was coming to an end? How – and with whom – would you spend your last hours on earth?

These are the questions facing a number of very different individuals ahead of the millennium in this beautifully shot drama. Don McKellar plays an architect who plans to meet his maker alone, while others party, or pray, in groups. A recently married couple make a suicide pact, but are caught apart and struggle to get back together. One man pursues final sexual conquests and a weak woman strives to gain courage. As the end of the world approaches, these strangers’ lives end up interacting. This critically acclaimed drama stars some of Canada’s finest film talents.

A Celebration of Canada

Exploring Canada‘s cinematic history spanning the past century, built by its rich culture and diverse heritage.

Canadian cinema is now more successful than ever, making it the perfect time to celebrate the successes of the country’s film industry and the impact it is having on cinema as a whole.

Woven around the works of influential Scottish-Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren, the season will showcase a diverse representation of films: from the work of the elder statesmen of Canadian cinema, to those who broke new ground in the industry, First Nations Canadians and immigrants, who have been the backbone of the country throughout its history, and the next generation of filmmakers bringing the movement to theatres globally.
