    I’m amazed by the variety of films presented. Just about every genre has been represented during the past week. I didn’t realize our Canadian neighbors had been so industrious, though I think I’ll take a pass on “Scanners.” Not my mug o’ Molson’s.

      Yes, it’s an impressive collection of films – kind of like a Canadian Film Festival!
