TIFF’s TOP TEN: Kaveh Nabatian’s Vapor

TIFF announces its top 10 short Canadian films of 2010.

Kaveh Nabatian’s arresting Vapor made the top ten.

Here’s what the jury said about his film: “With spare, powerful images and an assured structure, Vapor tells its story like a dance piece. No image is wasted, no moment overplayed. Vapor stays with you long after you’ve left the theatre.”

TIFF flew the filmmakers to Toronto for last night’s event.

And Kaveh says it was pretty cool to share the stage with Guy Maddin.

Congrats to all Canadian filmmakers.

And special props to Halima Ouardiri who also made the top ten for her beautiful Mokhtar.
