I am very grateful to the Montreal Film Festival for putting me on the International film map when they awarded me with the Best Actress Award in 1994. And I keep coming back because this festival, without any competition, is the Cannes of Canada, and the USA combined!
The Montreal Film Festival is the most exotic film festival to be found in Canada and the USA combined! The food and location, the quality of films and events, offered at this festival, are to die for! And is reflected in the global talent it attracts, the best of the world's A list! It will always be one of my favourites. Bravo! Here's to another successful 30 years!!!
