I would have bet the farm on the film finding a distributor fairly soon after the fest and was thinking SPC was going to grab the title for a certain art-house theater segment of the population.
The Toronto FIlm Festival have announced everything Canadian (or in some cases co-produced with Canada) with the world premiere of Atom Egoyan's Chloe.
Spend a little time in any film-related academic setting, and Atom Egoyan's name is sure to come up.

The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
