We are pleased to announce that the winner of the 2017 Barry Convex is Navin Ramaswaran’s POOR AGNES.
POOR AGNES was chosen to represent the 2017 Barry Convex Award not only for its impressive direction, darkly comic storytelling and overall cialis cheap no prescription unified vision, but for its challenging attitude. Coming out of a country with a system where voices of subversion against, and challenges to, the mainstream status quo are few and far between — and yet more important than ever – POOR AGNES acts as a daring and powerful middle finger against establishment filmmaking.
The jury would also like to give an honourable mention to Patrick Demers’ ORIGAMI, for its deft direction, sophisticated visual aesthetic, strong performances and the successful cialis generic drug blending of genres in a complex story told in a refreshingly unconventional manner.
Sincerely, the 2017 Barry Convex jury:
Kier-La Janisse, George Mihalka and Douglas Buck
The Barry Convex Award is an annual juried cash prize for which all Canadian features or co-productions making their Canadian premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival are eligible. For more information on the award, see HERE >>
