Yesterday, The Cultural Post received an e-mail from Canadian screenwriter Dennis Foon (A Shine of Rainbows). In this announced e-mail, he announced that Life, Above All will have its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival on May 18.
First of all, the film was directed by Oliver Schmitz (Paris, je t'aime), produced by Oliver Stoltz (Lost Children) and scripted by Dennis Foon (A Shine of Rainbows). It was included in the festival's official selection in the category "Un certain regard". Obviously, Foon won't be the only Canadian competing in this category, for he'll be accompanied by director Xavier Dolan, who directed Les amours imaginaires, and Noah Pink, who directed ZedCrew.
Furthermore, the film is based on a novel of Canadian author Allan Stratton. The story addresses the knotty question of HIV/AIDS through the eyes of a 16-year-old girl living in a small African city.

A few days ago, the first poster of Les amours imaginaires, Xavier Dolan's second film, was released online by Remstar, a Canadian production company. Yesterday, the last two versions of the film's poster were unveiled.
This drama is the story of Francis (Xavier Dolan) and Marie (Monia Chokri), two friends. They fall in love with the same person, Nicolas (Niels Schneider). However, Francis and Marie will fiercely compete for the love of Nicolas while nothing indicates that Nicolas actually loves one of them.
Furthermore, Les amours imaginaires will be presented at the upcoming Cannes International Film Festival. It will be featured in the category Un certain regard. Obviously, Xavier Dolan's film won't be the only Canadian film in Cannes. Indeed, Noah Pink's ZedCrew will be presented at the Directors' Fortnight.
Finally, Les amours imaginaires will be released in Quebec on June 11, 2010.
