Take One's 2001 survey.


In an effort to give the best possible overview of Canadian cinema, Take One will now publish not only its annual survey of features and documentaries released in the Greater Toronto Area The Greater Toronto Area (widely abbreviated as the GTA) is the most populous metropolitan area in Canada. The GTA is a provincial planning area with a population of 5,555,912 at the 2006 Canadian Census.  (GTA GTA Grand Theft Auto (legal)

), the largest market for English-Canadian film in the world, but also the annual Canada Top Ten poll inaugurated by the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2001, plus the complete results of the Canadian Film Awards, the Genies, and the Quebec Film Awards, Prix Jutra. Ironically, in one of those twist of dates that plague Canadian films, 2001 was the year of Zacharias Kunuk's Atanarjuat, even though the film didn't open commercially until 2002. The Inuit-language film already ranks as one of the most astounding a·stound

[From Middle English astoned, past participle of astonen,
 ethnographic films ever made and should go on to do well at the box office, especially in Europe. The French-language film of the year is Andre Turpin's Un Crabe dans la tete, a big winner at prix Jutra, and Bruce Sweeney's Last Wedding takes the English-speaking top honours, even though it was scandalo usly overlooked at the Genies. Take One's choice for the best Canadian film of 2001 is Last Wedding, Sweeney's scathing look at the contempory male beast. Sweeney is a big West Coast talent waiting to break through into the mainstream of Canadian cinema.
