Jennifer Garner survived “Yes Day” — with a little help from her good friend coffee.
The actress, 45, posted a sleepy, makeup-free selfie on Friday from the inside of a tent, announcing that she was in the midst of a “Yes Day” — a family tradition in which the parents indulge all their kids wishes (within reason). This is the fifth year Garner has celebrated the unofficial holiday.
“You’ll never need coffee more than the day after “Yes Day!” she captioned on Instagram. Along with a series of hashtags explaining that she and the kids had slept in a tent in the backyard.

The film follows Benny (Matthew Frias) and Christopher (Edmund Donovan), two college freshman who meet while playing football and soon begin a relationship. Soon as their love grows, a past connection involving their mothers comes to light and threatens to tear them apart. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.

A sensitive portrait, but often a wretched one, of young people at crossroads, set on a Canadian First Nations reservation but with resonance far beyond. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Shane (Andrew Martin) had been hoping to escape from his rundown First Nations reservation in rural northern Ontario for university in Toronto, but his plans are on hold since his sister committed suicide… an act that has mystified everyone; no one knew how sad she was. (We slowly begin to see the sort of pressure she would have been under as a young woman here.) His widowed mother is paralyzed by grief, their house is literally falling apart, and Shane is struggling to support them both and find money for repairs. But it’s not only the lack of economic opportunity in his dead-end...

A thoughtful character study about a young gay Anishinaabe teen at a crossroads in life, Adam Garnet Jones’ “Fire Song” explores the social dynamics of a First Nation reservation and the challenges of being gay within the community. The film stars Andrew Martin as Shane, a closeted kid forced to take care of his family after his sister commits suicide in their remote Northern Ontario Aboriginal community. Though he was supposed to move to the city for University in the fall, he’s torn between his responsibilities at home and the promise of freedom in the city. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.

One of the more notable aspects of the Toronto International Film Festival, due to its location, has been its emphasis on Canadian cinema. The festival’s popularity and prominence among film fans around the world has led to Tiff becoming a key platform for Canadian films and Canadian filmmakers to showcase their talents, with the festival’s opening film often coming from a Canadian. The 2015 incarnation is no different in this regard, with Jean-Marc Vallée’s newest feature Demolition set to open the event, and filmmakers like Deepa Mehta, Atom Egoyan, Jon Cassar, and Paul Gross showcasing their newest films at the festival. The Festival organisers, however, have now revealed the other Canadian features that will be playing at the event, across a variety of programs. The list can be seen below.
