Canadian Films at Palm Beach International Film Festival April 11, 2012

Palm Beach International Film Festival presents 5 Canadian films. Please note that the screenings take place in different venues.

Le sens de l’humour (Sense of Humor)
Directed by Emile Gaudreault
Luke and Marco are two B-list stand up comedians who tour across Quebec playing to small town crowds. Part of their shtick every night is to pick a victim and make fun of him, much to the audience's delight. At Anse-au-Pic, a remote community which borders the Saguenay region, they choose Roger Gendron, a bashful cook who flips burgers at the local diner. Big mistake: Roger is a complete nut case.

Tuesday, April 17 at 2:30 pm at the Muvico Parisian-City Place

Totem & Taboo – WORLD PREMIERE
Directed by Frédéric Leclair
It's a story about a hunter who suffers from paranoia and hallucinations after hiding the accidental murder of an old hermit. This prevents him from keeping his passions repressed and makes him turn against his wife and daughter. It's 'The Shining' meets 'Jacob's Ladder.'

(38 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, FL 33444)

The Child Prodigy
Directed by Luc Dionne
On the keyboard, the young hands fly rapidly and the melody rises. These hands belong to 6-year-old Andre Mathieu. He won his audiences and fired up concert halls in London, New York, Paris and around the world. Adulated, hailed, praised, the child prodigy seemed to have everything to succeed. But another destiny was waiting for him...
