VIFF 2019 Red carpet

〜Directors and Actors〜

Young Canadian actors showed up first.  Former child actors are now getting bigger and more beautiful. Many of them live in Vancouver, too. 

 

By the way, there was a Korean actor who was waiting to greet one of the directors. Known actors from 80s and 90s movies also came…

 

One of the guests who attracted media’s attention was Director Anthony Chen from Singapore.  He won the Caméra d’Or award at Cannes International Film Festival with his debut feature film “Ilo Ilo”. The actors who played the mother and the child in the film now work as a couple, a boy and an older woman in his new film “Wet Season”.

The last person on the red carpet was Director Atom Egoyan.  He came with the charming actress Arsinee Khanjian for the opening movie “Guest of Honor”. The director who was born in Egypt and now lives in Toronto, has won numerous awards at many international film festivals such as Berlin and Cannes. When the director’s car appeared, a big cheering was heard… like in the movie! 😉
