SHORT BLOCK:

The Telegram Man (New Zealand) East Coast Premiere!
Directed by James Khehtie
Narrative Short (14 Minutes)

During World War II, Australia's small farming communities paid a terrible price. In the rural towns of New South Wales, one family each week discovered their son, husband, brother or father would not be coming home. In the throws of such grief, one seldom considers the man who delivers the news â" the telegram man. This beautifully crafted short film stars three international screen legends â" Australian actors Jack Thompson, Gary Sweet and Sigrid Thornton.

We Were the Vanquished (Holland) â" East Coast Premiere!
Directed by Joshua Sampson
Documentary Short (40 Minutes)

Pieter Gerard Vanderhooft was targeted for death by the Nazis for his activities as part of the Dutch resistance in World War II. Twice jailed and even placed on death row, Vanderhooft miraculously survived to fight another day. Complete with heart-pounding reenactments, We Were the Vanquished gives rare insight into the personal experiences and struggles of a Dutch war hero.

M.I.L.O Goodbye 09(Denmark) North American Premiere!
Directed by Julius Telmer
Documentary Short (4 Minutes)

Danish rapper M.I.L.O.'s first official documentary style music video tells the real life story of the 6-month journey that brought the rapper from his last concert in Denmark to the war in Afghanistan as a soldier. The song âFarvel til '09â (Goodbye '09) is the goodbye letter he wrote to his family in the event he would be killed in action.

The Real MASH (Canada) â" US Premiere!
Directed by Min Sook Lee
Documentary Short (48 Minutes)

The Real MASH traces the original stories that inspired the fictional TV series and film set during the Korean War. Both pushed buttons on cultural and social frontiers but Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) units were more like renegade units and early indicators of the social turmoil and tensions that were to unfold later in the USA. Interviews with MASH actors, including Jamie Farr, Loretta Swit and Gary Burghoff, co-creator Gene Reynolds, as well as the military surgeons, doctors, nurses, pilots and enlisted men who served in the war are blended with dramatic recreations, archival film and rare photographs to tell the true stories behind the MASH series.
Following the film screenings the Canadian Embassy will host a VIP reception.
