The following use of food metaphors are brought to you by my empty stomach and the smell of bacon permeating my house. Enjoy…

For those seeking a more eclectic taste of Canadian film fare, the 4th Canadian Film Festival will certainly serve up a bain-marie of delights.

Start by road-tripping with Joshua Jackson, follow it up with a digest of contemporary philosophy and dessert on the icy Inuit tundra. Or, perhaps you’d rather chow down on magic mushrooms, a side of savage hockey and a nibble of Quebecois youth? Better yet – enjoy the degustation menu and grab tickets to every film, because this is a wonderfully affordable festival.

Accompanying your movie meals are a host of intimate parties throughout the week, including two galas and a whiskey-fuelled porno screening. By the end, you’ll be so full of Canadian bacon love that you may as well douse yourself in maple syrup and die happy.
