5. Keith and Renee
What started as an awkward meeting through a friend turned music making magic has now brought Keith and Renee to ten years as a musical duo, but not without a whole lot of work and determination. Starting out as a four-piece band and then branching off into a duo, Keith and Renee have so far released four albums with a fifth on the way this summer. Starting off with a folk-pop sound on Novice (2001), Simple Stuff (2004) and Revolution (2007), the duo saw much deeper interest from the public by the latter album as their single ‘Good Year’ was chosen as the Manitoba Homecoming 2010 official anthem song.

“You’re either born here, or you got a reason” When the town doctor goes missing in Churchill, Manitoba, all trails lead to The Flats. Teetering on the edge of the Hudson’s Bay, this frozen strip of land becomes the focus of a search that unearths its strangest residents, some town secrets, and even a few ghosts. The Flats is a dark comedy about what brings people to the edge of the world, where the polar bears are the least of your worries. Details

7. Elle
Based on a true story and adapted from the Governor General’s Award-winning novel, Elle chronicles the ordeals and adventures of a young French woman deliberately marooned on a desolate island off the coast of Newfoundland in 1542. Sometimes harrowing and often funny, Elle brilliantly reinvents the beginnings of this country’s narrative through bears (both real and spirit) and the embracing of one’s environment. Details
