Despite the shadows and questions around the Festival's fate a huge crowd was waiting for Serge Losique at the Imperial August 25 at 7.00pm for the official opening of the 40th edition (the toughest since the hotel and cinema partnerships fell at the last minute).
Nevertheless guests of the festival were flocking on the red carpet, with elegant attire, waiting for the late Jury (some of them were late at the airport) and the complete cast and crew of Kiss me Like a Lover by Andre Forcier (a very spectacular world premiere, with a 5 minutes applause session at the end). In our opinion the film should be a crowd pleaser by all means on the candian launch september 16.
