This year's Vancouver International Film Festival, which runs September 27th to October 12th, has already revealed a number of their upcoming titles in the form of Cannes favourites and festival winners but at a press conference today, a few additional details for this year's festival were released, namely the fact that "Trailer Park Boys" creator Mike Clattenberg's comedy Moving Day would kick off the Canadian Images section of the festival while Leos Carax's Holy Motors (trailer, review) has been selected to close the festival; as far as I can tell, the first time a genre offering has done so.

In addition to the already announced tiles which include Joel Potrykus Ape (trailer), Kleber Mendonça Filho's Neighbouring Sounds, Michael Haneke's Amour and Rodney Ascher's Room 237 (review), the festival's preview guide has been available for a few days and buried in 9 pages are a few more must see titles including Brandon Cronenberg's highly anticipated Antiviral (trailer), Peter Stickland's Berberian Sound Studio (trailer, review), the Irish alien invader comedy Grabbers (trailer, review) and the wacky looking A Liar's Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman (trailer).


If that's not enough, there's also the Korean blockbuster Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time, Jo Sunghee's A Werewolf Boy (trailer), Jaxon Buxton's Blackbird (trailer) and the Russian mob flick Dom: A Russian Family.

More titles to come but until the next announcement, all of the titles announced to date can be found in the sneak preview guide available at the VIFF website.
