Stealing the silver screen
Two films from talented Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan will feature on the Australian Centre for Moving Image’s (ACMI) Long Play program in April.
The 21-year-old has been touted as a rising star, and not without basis. He directed and acted in both films and won multiple awards at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Dolan’s new feature film Heartbeats (2010), about friends falling out over a boy, and his award-winning directorial debut I Killed My Mother (2009) will screen at ACMI from April 7 – 28.

This young guy is definitely talented… and he’s only 22 (or 21, don’t remember…).
I was actually surprised to see that his next movie is on a crowdfunding website (touscoprod.ca) in order to find money to produce it !
But I joined this opportunity to help this talented director, and I really hope that he’ll get more recognition with Laurence Anyways.
