Quebec filmmaker Xavier Dolan has been named an officer in France's Order of Arts and Letters.

At the heart of the film is a coming-of-age story, which in some ways, parallels Dolan's own trajectory from child actor to cinematic wunderkind.

Xavier Dolan has debuted films at Cannes several times before, including 'It's Only the End of the World,' which won the Grand Prix prize at the 2016 festival.

Montreal actor-director Xavier Dolan says a release date has been set for The Death and Life of John. F Donovan in France.

Forty per cent of the Canadian film slate at this year's Toronto Film Festival is directed by women.

Arcade Fire's Regine Chassagne and Win Butler are being recognized for their roles as cultural ambassadors for the province.

Quebec film director Xavier Dolan has won the best director award at France's Cesar Awards for his film "It's Only the End of the World."

Xavier Dolan is thrilled his movie "It's Only the End of the World" is one of nine films in the running for a best foreign-language Oscar nomination.

If there's one thing to take away from the Canadian lineup at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, it's that homegrown movie makers are pushing the creative boundaries, say programmers.

This year's TIFF also includes films by Bruce McDonald, Alanis Obomsawin and Deepa Mehta.
