Our Cinema – Review of a year of hits (features)
For an art that is sometimes said to be dying, at least going through the pains of wholsesale transition, the cinema seems in remarkably vivid condition. The Festival has never seen as many films as this year. The Festival's selection team viewed some 3000 films of all sizes and genres, either abroad, at various festivals, markets and custom film events, or at home in the Festival's own screening facilities. Films from around the world, from countries with large, established film industries, and from countries that are largely unknown to local filmgoers.
This cornucopia of films had the Festival's selectors wondering where to draw the line on acceptance. Were we sufficiently patient with films that were slow to tell their stories? Had the speed and unlimited choice of the Internet spoiled our viewing habits? Cinephilia, an appreciation of the cinema in all its variety, is a learned attribute. But it can easily be corrupted by an unbalanced diet of blockbusters and Youtube clips.
The Internet allows curious cinephiles to learn about unusual films from faraway places, but the rampant piracy of the Internet often deprives already struggling artists of the means not only to be making their next films but of paying the bills on their previous ones. Digital technology has at once democratized the making of movies and endangered the ability of young cineastes to make a living at their art.
This year's harvest at the the Montreal World Film Festival includes 432 films from 80 countries – 212 features, 16 medium-length films and 204 shorts. Of the 212 features, 60 are debut efforts. The Festival's hews to its mission of providing a showcase for new talent.

FOCUS ON CHINA DURING THE MONTREAL WORLD FILM FESTIVAL
CHINA FILM BUSINESS WEEK AT MWFF
The China Film Business Week which will be held in Montreal August 27 to 31, 2012 within the framework of the Montreal World Film Festival, will be articulated around four large groups including the China Movie Channel which broadcasts on 21 national networks and the China Film Group which produces 30 features, 1000 telefilms and 400 TV series annually. Via its subsidiary, the China Film Co-Production Corporation, the China Film Group also manages all Chinese co-productions with foreign companies in over 50 countries.
China Film Promotion International groups nearly all domestic production companies in China, and China Film Group Distribution includes Chinese domestic distributors along with Chinese distributors of foreign films. Another distribution group, Huaxia Film Distribution, will also be in attendance.
During the week, the Chinese delegation will participate in the exchange of co-production projects, will visit Montreal film studios and laboratories, will participate in a forum on distribution in China, and join in networking sessions with producers, distributors and broadcasters.
The China Film Business Week will provide an exceptional opportunity to meet with top management from some of the most important production and distribution companies in China.
A CHINESE FILM TO OPEN WORLD FILM FESTIVAL
MILLION DOLLAR CROCODILE, a popular entertainment directed by Chinese filmmaker Lisheng Lin, will open the 2012 Montreal World Film Festival, and will inaugurate its World Greats section,. "The Chinese cinema is one of the strongest in the world right now and can be compared to Hollywood in its variety and depth," stated Serge Losique. Director Lisheng Lin and the film's team will be in attendance in Montreal. In 2004 he co-wrote the script for Feng Xiagang's WORLD WITHOUT THIEVES which opened the 2005 Montreal World Film Festival. He subsequently directed two of his own features.
“HAPPINESS NEVER COMES ALONE” TO CLOSE FESTIVAL
The French film “Un Bonheur n'arrive jamais seul” (Happiness Never Comes Alone) directed by James Huth with Sophie Marceau, Gad Almaleh, Maurice Barthélémy, François Berléand telle the story of Sacha who plays jazz, loves partying and his life free from constraints and Charlotte who has three children, two ex-husbands and a career to manage. They have nothing in common. Or so they think...
