The Montreal World Film Festival will not be held this year.

The beleaguered Montreal World Film Festival is expected to go ahead as planned after its founder paid Quebec's Revenue Department almost $33,000 in back taxes.

A documentary film chronicling the life of the now infamous Luka Magnotta, has been pulled from the Montreal World Film Festival, just three weeks before Magnotta's trial is set to begin.

Alain Chartrand, Mathieu Roy and Christian Duguay have had their works entered in competition at the Montreal World Film Festival.
