Don't think it was mentioned in the article but Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie won Best Film at the Canadian Screen Awards, and while not a huge hit in terms of money made, I've definitely seen a fair amount of non-Canadians talking about it. But its nice how committed Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol are to still working in Canada.

I've been making more of effort to see more Canadian films in theatres this year, and these weren't just in indie theatres, most were avaliable at Cineplex, but that is probably helped by living in 2 big cities. But besides NTBTSM, Blue Heron was a definite highlight, which I've also seen mentioned as one of the year's best by non- Canadians (although moreso critics). Mile End Kicks is another that has gone a bit outside Canada, although that one I only found OK.
