“We are delighted to offer support to these outstanding projects. It was an exceptional field of submissions – Canadian audiences have a lot to look forward to!” said Marguerite Pigott, Head of Creative Development for Super Channel.

The diverse list of projects includes 15 feature films, 5 documentaries and 2 series. Among the feature films are Origin of the World, produced by the Oscar nominated team behind War Witch (Rebelle), Pierre Even and Marie-Claude Poulin with writer/director Kim Nguyen. Origin of the World is a film about the real struggles of three women in an interconnected global village. Also among the features is Beale Street, produced by Allison Black with writer/director Nathan Morlando (Edwin Boyd). Beale Street tells the story of a neophyte FBI agent sent to investigate a perceived communist infiltration of the burgeoning civil rights movement in 1958.

Amongst the documentaries is Phoolan Devi: Life and Legacy of the Bandit Queen produced by Jack Silberman with writer/director Hossein Fazeli. This documentary tells the extraordinary story of an illiterate village girl who became a bandit and the subject of the largest manhunt in Indian history, only to transform into one of the first low-caste women elected to the Indian parliament.
