Canadian movies are on a roll.
The official program of the recent Vancouver International Film Festival listed more than 60 productions with Canadian roots - shot in Canada, financed with Canadian money, or made by Canadian artists and technicians. Or all of the above. Recent filmfests in Toronto and Montreal also presented dozens of Canadian pictures. These movies are as varied as they are numerous. At one end of the spectrum is the domestic drama of The Sweet Hereafter, about a town coming to grips with a tragic accident that struck several of its children.
