Life, Above All at TIFF: Update

Life, Above All, the movie based on Allan Stratton's novel Chanda's Secrets, will be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this Sunday and next Tuesday. A few people from Annick will be in attendance, so look for an update next week.

In an exciting development, South Africa has chosen Life, Above All as its official entry for best foreign-language picture at the Academy Awards. We'll have to wait until late January to see whether the Academy officials give it a nomination, though, so our fingers are crossed!
