TIFF brings 'Ten Best' showcase to Beijing

Soon after Canadian director Denis Villeneuve's blockbuster Blade Runner 2049 saw its Chinese release in late October, his Academy Award-nominated film Incendies was seen by audiences in Beijing on Nov 3.

The movie was the opening film in the Canada's Ten Best: New Cinema from the North showcase being presented by the China Film Archive from Nov 3 to 12 - a collection of classic and contemporary Canadian films making their screen debuts in Beijing.

The Toronto International Film Festival organized the screening of Canada's top films in Beijing, and they include several highlighted in TIFF's annual Canada's Top Ten Film Festival, as well as a selection of retrospective titles from TIFF's Canada on Screen sesquicentennial series.
