"Danse Macabre"<\/p><\/div>\n

Whenever a list of nominated or winning titles in a best-of or industry awards tally is revealed, there\u2019s a curiosity among some (me) as to what\u2019s currently out or will be out on DVD.<\/p>\n

The relative newness of those films means few will actually be commercially available at the time of announcement, but at least the publication and publicity of a list generates some interest in the filmmakers and their work (ideally).<\/p>\n

In any event, below is the list as revealed this morning at Canada\u2019s Top Ten<\/a>. The official website includes brief bios of the filmmakers, the nominated films, and the panel who voted on the candidates.<\/p>\n

From January 14-21, 2010, the TIFF Cinematheque will screen the films as well as offer panel discussions.<\/p>\n

The 8-day event may well be the best opportunity to catch the lot, since it might be a while before the bulk of the films will appear on video or as digital media.<\/p>\n

Film titles below with hyperlinks will take you to their respective official websites; the linked director names will glide you to IMDB entries; and the remaining links indicate availability on DVD and DVD review(s) at KQEK.com.<\/p>\n
