TIFF 2011: CWC Loaded with Lynn Shelton, Naranjo, Sion Sono, Hansen-Love, Zvyagintsev, Vigalondo
With a total of 50+1 films from around the world, the Contemporary World Cinema programme could very well be a film festival in its own right.

Pyramide, the French sales agent and theatrical distribution had a great Cannes last year repping films that collected prizes in: A Screaming Man and Ano Bisiesto. This year they've got another Bruno Dumont film (see pic above), the closing film in the UCR section with Andrey Zvyagintsev's Elena and Ismael Ferroukhi receives an invite as well for Free Men in a Cannes' section that we figure isn't really part of the festival since there are no official press screenings made available.
European Discovery noms: Ajami, Katalin Varga, The Other Bank, Sois Sage and Autumn
