There’s a reason why the Féderation Internationale de la Press Cinématographique awarded the FIPRESCI Prize to Seagrass.

John Chau comes to life in The Mission, which raises important questions about colonialism and the consequences of untramelled faith.

Seagrass, the B.C. filmmaker’s debut feature, will be screened at the Toronto and Vancouver international film festivals.

The special presentations lineup includes films by Atom Egoyan, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Catherine Breillat, Ken Loach, and Justine Triet.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
We would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). With this acknowledgement, we thank the Indigenous peoples who still live on and care for this land.
