CanConWire reporting on productions & greenlights and festivals & awards.
Festivals & awards
The 27 festivals supported and the 48 eligible applications are different units, since one counts festivals and the other counts applications, and the release does not say how many festivals applied. This is a short intake window opening after a first round, and it says nothing yet about how the second round will be decided.
Festivals & awards
Checked October 17: the October 9 early-bird date has passed; the Academy page still lists the October 26 final deadline as open. Entry window only; no nominations or ceremony dates yet.
Festivals & awards Analysis
Fantasia's 30th edition ran July 16 to August 2 in Montreal. It opened on Nicolas Winding Refn's career-achievement honour and closed on a Canadian franchise's second instalment, with a first-time Canadian director's creature feature standing out in between.
