Recorded at Arts Court Theatre- Nov. 9, 2016
As one of the most important examples of a Canadian media artist who began his career making arts council funded films and emerge as an international cinema star, Atom Egoyan is the perfect choice for the inaugural edition of the Masters programme. His work is daring, thoughtful, searching, and ranges from low budget art cinema to big budget Hollywood productions. Egoyan’s career has been critically acclaimed across the globe, and his work has captured many awards at some the world’s most prestigious film festivals. Atom Egoyan has also been very supportive of younger Canadian filmmakers, serving as advisor and mentor the next generation of moving image makers in Canada.
