The top 10 Canadian movies of 2016

Plenty of big-ticket blockbusters came out in 2016, but here in Toronto, we're getting ready to celebrate the best Canadian films, which you might not have seen yet.

Thankfully, TIFF will host the 16th annual Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival from January 13 to 26. Head to the TIFF Bell Lightbox during that two week period to see the best features, shorts and student shorts made in Canada in 2016.

“Canada continues to deliver superb film talent to the world,” said Cameron Bailey, TIFF's artistic director in a news release.

“This year's Canada's Top Ten lineup ranges from British Columbia to Nunavut to Nova Scotia, telling stories that show Canadians who we are. Smart, emotional and provocative, these films showcase both world-renowned names such as Xavier Dolan and impressive newcomers like Ashley McKenzie and Johnny Ma."

The opening night film is Zacharias Kunuk's Maliglutit (Searchers) and after the festival wraps up in Toronto, it'll travel to other major Canadian cities.

Here are Canada's top 10 feature films:

  • Angry Inuk Alethea Arnaquq-Baril
  • Hello Destroyer Kevan Funk
  • It’s Only the End of the World (Juste la fin du monde
  • Maliglutit (Searchers) Zacharias Kunuk
  • Mean Dreams Nathan Morlando
  • Nelly Anne Émond
  • Old Stone (Lao shi) Johnny Ma 
  • Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves (Ceux qui font les révolutions à moitié n'ont fait que se creuser un tombeau) Mathieu Denis and Simon Lavoie 
  • Werewolf Ashley McKenzie
  • Window Horses (The Poetic Persian Epiphany of Rosie Ming) Ann Marie Fleming
