Another TIFF title bound for Berlin is Vietnamese-Canadian director Carol Nguyen’s, a short about two young girls and their relationships with their ancestors that will screen in the Berlinale’s Generation Kplus section.
Other Canadian filmmakers are building awareness for and interest in their films for greater traction with foreign audiences, including on streaming platforms. Nisha Pahuja – whose TIFF best Canadian feature prize winneralso grabbed the documentary award at the Palm Springs Film Festival – continues to tout her National Film Board of Canada production about a farmer and father in India who launches a legal fight to secure justice for his 13-year-old daughter, the victim of a brutal gang rape.
“I’m certain that this is exactly what the market is looking for, because underrepresented audiences want to see themselves on the screen,” Chica explains., which was shot in Manitoba and screens in the Perspective Canada sidebar. The film tells the story of a white farmworker in a small town who is fired for racism by her Palestinian boss, only to then fall in love with her.
“For diverse stories, queer stories, there’s still a reticence or a feeling that they’re too niche, or won’t appeal to a broad audience. But there’s a universality to be found in most stories,” Peeters, whose directorial debut stars Enuka Okuma and Chelsea Russell, insists.
