Review: The Debate

“It’s an intriguing and confusing viewing experience, and I highly recommend it. The sound design is especially beautiful.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: The Flexed Arm Hang

“The short film has such depth and character, you can’t help but fall in love with it.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Seeking Oblivion

“It’s about human flaws, dumb decisions and forgiveness. Seeking Oblivion captures how needlessly awful life is for Jeremy, even when he’s doing his best and doing all the right things.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Pinball & Perogies

“If you’ve ever had good memories at TARG, then this doc is for you.” – Angus Luff

Categories Angus Luff

Review: death isn’t the same anymore

“This auditory cinepoem can be felt with all the senses. It feels cold. It feels lonely. It’s complex and skillfully mapped.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Dirt Town

“Dirt Town uses a good amount of dirtiness and grime in its colour grading, and it’s representative of where the characters are headed, where the story goes.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Tessellate

“Jacobsen conveys how the individuals want to be perfect; their ‘imperfection breeds desire.’ They are rewired to conceal their flaws and characteristics in order to become better people. – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: World of The Fluffs

“Chaisi Glover’s World Of The Fluffs is a delightful animated feature that is inspired by a very real, and unfortunate habit.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: i hope they remember my name

“I hope they remember my name is a timely film that paints an intimate portrait of the potential effects of social media on mental wellbeing.” – Rachel Loewen

Categories Rachel Loewen

Review: Not Your Average Bear

“Cliff Skelton clearly depicts the frustration people face within the job market, however some scenes are lackluster and distracting, straying away from the focal point of the film, and prompting questions from the audience.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: Miracle, Baby

“This story brings an informative and personal touch to the hockey player, and can be appreciated by both sports fans, and non-sports fans.” – Chantelle Blanchard

Categories Chantelle Blanchard

Review: Vessel

“Godel thoroughly conveys how people long for human connection, but the ability to connect is daunting. Though people may want and deserve love, they will not be happy if they cannot communicate, and cannot be themselves.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: Nose to Tail

“Nose to Tail is Superbly Acted” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: The Mayor of Comedy

“There is something immediately likeable about comedian Sandra Battaglini, the host and interviewer in this feature documentary exploring the state of the stand-up comedy in Canada.” – Amen Jafri
