While coverage for the Tribeca Film Festival ends here 2 new festivals get some coverage & 2 unique Canadian talents talk to the Movie Mystic as well. It starts with Documentary Director Ron Chapman talking about 2 projects being 'From Earth to Sky,' which looks at Indigenous architecture & 'Shelter,' which looks at Jewish post war immigrants in Toronto developing apartments. New York Asian Film Festival reviews kick off this broadcast & will return next broadcast with reviews of the Japense movies 'The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill, & 'Joint.' You will hear about the Hong Kong movie 'Hand Rolled Cigarette,' the Taiwanese animation 'City of Lost Things,' the Kazak movie 'Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It,' & the South Korean movie 'Escape from Mogadishu.' Those 5 reviews set up an interview with Canadian Director Philippe McKie who made a Japanese language film, yes, in Japan, called 'Dream on Fire,' which kicks off coverage on this show for the 2021 edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival. Personality/actress/model/ Nadia Dhawan chats about what she's up from rap videos to being a judge of the Daytime Emmy's.
