Something to think about:
Men With Brooms is an example of a series of Canadian films that have been given an unusual amount of publicity: they actually see the screen after opening weekend, and most Canadians know they exist.
Some Canadian filmmakers will tell you that there are much better Canadian films out there, and are frustrated that this one in particular got all the publicity. Especially because it helped to perpetuate the ever-present apathy (and disdain) towards our national cinema, and made many international critics roll their eyes.
The Critique Series is a new initiative by The Film Collective to further enrich members' knowledge about film and filmmaking.

Anything can be posted here from your friends' screening at the Bloor
Cinema, to questions about Avid/ FCP. It is meant to facilitate communication
between members and to be a community for questions, concerns or publicity.
The Film Collective:
The Film Collective (TFC) is a network of people who have an interest in film and the
filmmaking process. It provides opportunities for indie filmmakers to show their stuff,
go to workshops, talk about films, make films, promote events and so on.
If you have an interest in film -- anything from talking about the latest indie screening to making your own--
you're welcome to join.
