BCIFF Showcase:

"The Substance" (2024)

“Lay down some tarp, because there’s going to be a lot of blood.” ~ Thierry Frémaux

2024 Award for Best Screenplay - Festival de Cannes Festival de Cannes

"It’s about beauty. It’s about success. Taking it out of reality was a way to make it timeless and thus universal, like the story could happen today, yesterday, or tomorrow—as well as anywhere. I wanted the locations and set decorations to have a very strong symbolic meaning."
~ Coralie Fargeat , Director, Vogue

"With sharp wit and cathartic intensity, Coralie Fargeat turns toxic beauty culture inside out in her mind-blowing latest feature. Powered by a career-best performance from Demi Moore, The Substance fearlessly bulldozes its way into the midnight-movie pantheon and the feminist canon."
~ MUBI

"For a movie that won Best Screenplay at Cannes, it relies too much on its performances and style to make up for writing that, well, lacks in substance."
~ Drew Gregory, autostraddle

"The Substance will test your stomach (and your patience) but it’s all worth it! Demi Moore is riveting and Coralie Fargeat’s script is a dark, satirical phantasmagoria."
~Kristen Lopez, Kristomania

BCIFF Showcase: 'In the belly of the tiger' (2024)

“Speaking to the soul of India, my film uses Indian mythology as a signal of hope to tell a deeply personal love story designed to put these invisible lives at the center of human consciousness,”
~ Jatla Siddartha, the director

'In the belly of the tiger' (2024)
"Caught between real events and the magical lotus blossoms from the belly of Lord Vishnu, Siddartha Jatla’s film is a poignant critique of capitalism."
~ Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival

"This conundrum emanates from the story of a man who offers himself up to a hungry tiger if it means being able to feed his family, a tale Jatla uses to scrutinize the machineries of injustice."
~ Siddhant Adlakha, Variety Magazine

"Bowing in the Berlinale’s independently curated Forum programme, 'In the Belly of a Tiger', combines social critique with magical realism to depict the struggles of India's rural poor."
~ Clarence Tsui, The Film Verdict

"The film questions the value of animal lives vs human lives, highlighting the struggles of forest-dwelling people and addressing poverty issues." ~ Geothe-Institut
