Imagine this one... U.S. directors and guests arrive at the heavily fortified U.S. embassy in Berlin for a reception in honor of American filmmakers at the
Berlinale (yeah right! As if...) Well, our dear neighbors to the north did just that for their directors at the Canadian embassy just off Potsdamer Platz on Saturday night. Some of the filmmakers in attendance included
Bruce LaBruce ("Otto; Or Up with Dead People"),
Guy Maddin ("My Winnipeg"),
Claudia Morgado ("No Bikini"), "My Winnipeg" producer
Jody Shapiro,
Telefilm Canada's
Brigitte Hubmann, director
Yves Christian Fournier ("Everything is Fine") and
Gisele Gordon ("Miss Chief Trilogy").
