Impeccably crafted by filmmaking duo Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier (“Watermark,” “Act of God”), “Long Time Running” has the feel of sitting around a campfire by the lake […]...

★★★☆☆Water both resists and exists. It's both the giver of life and the destroyer of futures. The Earth is covered by 71% of water, and it's this enigmatic fact that renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky looks at in his latest documentary, Watermark (2013). The film alights though differing vignettes from spans continents and dives into the relationship water, the environment and humanity have and how all three struggle to coexist. This is explored in the huge floating abalone farms off China's Fujian coast, the construction site of the biggest arch dam in the world - the Xiluodu, six times the size of the Hoover - and the barren desert delta left behind where the mighty Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean.

Watermark
Directed by Jennifer Baichwal and Edward Burtynsky
Canada, 2013
The opening minutes of the new documentary Watermark promise something that sadly never comes to fruition. First, we see rushing waters, possibly from a distinctive waterfall, for at least a minute, if not more. Then, there’s a smash cut to the desert that was once the Colorado River; these are hypnotic, lulling, and somewhat disturbing shots of nature in extreme opposition. These early moments recall the excellent documentary Leviathan, which is ostensibly about the North American fishing industry, but is so intentionally context-free and unnervingly shot that it feels more like a horror film. Roughly half of Watermark is as context-free as Leviathan, relying primarily on the visual impact of its content; unfortunately, the other half tries and fails to fill in the audience with detail upon detail.

Watermark is a documentary filled with images both beautiful and wrenching, yet the film as a whole is a disappointment. In her Manufactured Landscapes (2006), filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal explored the working methods of renowned landscape photographer Edward Burtynsky.
For Watermark, the two co-direct, traveling the world to document the complex interaction of man and water. Aided by cinematographer Nick de Pencier, the filmmakers aim their cameras at the landscapes surrounding the world's great waterways, as well as at the humans who live in and around them.

Despite not being nominated for Best Director, Louise Archambault’s Gabrielle managed to pull off what we thought was the impossible (our Leora Heilbronn has pegged the drama as the film that should win, but favored Denis Villeneuve’s Enemy as the best bet) winning Best Motion Picture at the 2014 Canadian Screen Awards (a.k.a Canadian Oscars). If the out of synch supposed “live” telecast wasn’t bad enough (all awards including the winning film were announced almost one hour prior to on twittersphere), the show’s producers gave Gabrielle winning producers Luc Déry and Kim McCraw the equivalent of end of toilette paper roll in terms of time.
The voters also choose Gabrielle‘s Gabrielle Marion-Rivard as Best Actress in a Leading Role, while the heavily favored Enemy grabbed five awards, Best Direction for Villeneuve, Best Original Score for the excellent Danny Bensi/Saunder Jurriaans pairing , Best Editing,...

With the dust fully settled on the Academy Awards, we point our attention northward with tonight’s 2014 Canadian Screen Awards. Many of the television winners have already been announced in glitzy fashion during this Canadian Screen Week, but with baited breath, we’re more keen on seeing how the film award honors will pan out. Last year’s Tiff saw Denis Villeneuve bring not one (Prisoners), but a pair of feature films and it is the offbeat, doppelgänger delight Enemy that should reap in the top awards of the evening. Here are my predictions of who will win, who should win, and who should have been nominated in each of the most anticipated film categories.
Best Motion Picture:
The nominees are: Enemy, The Dismantlement, Empire of Dirt, The F Word, Gabrielle, The Grand Seduction, Maina, Tom at the Farm

Last night in a packed theatre at the Tiff Bell Lightbox an eclectic group of film critics, the who’s who of top local film producers and filmmakers, and Tiff executives gathered to hear the unveiling of the 13th annual Canada’s Top Ten films of the year. The room buzzed with excitement with many discussing the Nyfcc winners, predicting the Board of Review winners and, of course, noting which filmmakers were in attendance (assuming that was a clear cut sign of who made the list).
A hushed silence came over the crowd when Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of Tiff, took to the podium on stage to introduce the evening’s host, beloved local comedian Steve Patterson. “As a 15 year veteran of comedy, I know what it’s like not to be recognized”, Patterson cracked, making light of Canadian gems often going overlooked on the world stage.
