Big win at TIFF

21 Sep 2011

We are extremely happy to announce that our upcoming film Where Do We Go Now? by Nadine Labaki (pictured above) was the winner of People's Choice Award at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. The runner up, to our delight, was Iranian director Ashgar Farhadi's beautiful film A Separation, which earlier this year won both the Berlin International Film Festival and Sydney Film Festival! We will be releasing A Separation in 2012.

Where Do We Go Now? tells a story of a small Lebanese village as sectarian conflict looms over their community. Women of different religious affiliations band together and resort to most innovative and surprising schemes to save their community from surrendering to violence. This film is a heartfelt and charming follow-up feature to director Labaki's widely successful Caramel. We'll be releasing Where Do We Go Now? in 2012. We will also have more news in regards to new films acquired at the Toronto Film Festival shortly.
