’s finely tuned story of adolescent mythmaking, togetherness and grief, has its world premiere Tuesday in Venice Days before heading to Toronto, but the film’s impressive international journey actually began in Cannes two years ago.
“It was the year the pandemic shut down Cannes, so we couldn’t go, but the festival did a lot for the filmmakers,” said Foy, who spoke to“The short filmmakers were invited to participate in Cannes’ Next Step development program, which helps short filmmakers make that jump to features,” he continued. “It was amazing to have that kind of access to people who do the same thing as you but don’t know your work. The feedback was extremely candid and honest.
Foy’s alignment with Toronto-based MDFF, which Montgomery established with director Kazik Radwanski in 2009, puts “Maiden” on a slate of notable, handmade, director-driven narratives and features that have screened at top festivals. MDFF is releasing the film in Canada. Foy enjoyed the collaborative vibe of the tight crew, which included cinematographer Kelly Jeffrey, whom Foy has been working with since film school. Their decision to shoot in 16mm and the film’s many night scenes precipitated numerous conversations about light.
