About Preludes
Commissioned by the Toronto International Film Festival to mark the event's 25th anniversary in September 2000, the "Preludes" program consisted of ten short films by Canadian directors which were inspired in some way by the festival. Each film screened as a prelude to a feature film in the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival program. The full "Preludes" anthology was screened on the web in November 2000, and was given theatrical retrospectives at the TIFF Lightbox in the subsequent years.
Directed by David Cronenberg, Michael Jones, Don McKellar, Jeremy Podeswa, Anne Wheeler, Michael Snow, Patricia Rozema, Atom Egoyan, Guy Maddin, Jean Pierre Lefebvre, Preludes leans on a strong ensemble — Leslie Carlson, Leslie Bais, Bill Chan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2000.
