Chandra Menard from BlogTO has posted her top 8 picks from Short Cuts Canada. I admire the attempt to limit it at 8 picks (but she sneaks in a few more).
"Short Cuts is like a fest within The Fest, running five full programmes and pairing some odds and ends (each under 50 minutes in length) with screenings of Canadian features. Thrillers, dark comedies, and the latest from animation guru Cordell Barker top my list of standouts in this year's set."
You can read her selections here.
If you need a testament to the strength of this year's program, you'll only need notice that she reviews her top faves (and doesn't get a chance to review Maddin's masterpiece).
