Fail to Appear, screening at VIFF, showcases a new wave of Toronto talent
It is a fool’s game to crown any film a surefire buzz generator going into an event as large as the Vancouver International Film Festival, but here goes anyway. Fail to Appear, the debut feature from Canadian director Antoine Bourges, is a quiet gem that draws the viewer in from its opening frame – a long, steady shot of office equipment in an aesthetically challenged basement.
SCAFFOLD will play in competition at both the 55th New York Film Festival and the BFI London Film Festival in October!
