The Palm Springs International Film Festival, which runs from Jan. 3 to 13, will offer a special program focusing on Canadian cinema.

“We’ve selected Canadian films for a special focus at this year’s festival for many reasons, not the least of which is the wealth of talent emerging from its relatively small, indigenous film industry, and the depth and richness of story and character portrayal its films exemplify,” festival director Darryl Macdonald said.

The festival’s Spotlight on Canadian Cinema will include a Canadian Film Day, sponsored by Telefilm Canada, and a program of 12 features. The lineup consists of Pilote’s The Auction; Peter Stebbings’ Empire of Dirt and Villeneuve’s Enemy, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Louise Archambault’s Gabrielle and more.

‘Enemy’ will have its US premiere on Jan 9th at 7:30 PM. Tickets on sale Dec 26th. More details here.

‘Enemy’ has been selected for the 13th annual Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival.

The 10-day festival runs January 3rd to 12th, 2014 at TIFF Bell Lightbox and features public screenings of the selected films, accompanied by introductions and Q&A sessions with filmmakers. On January 5th, the Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival welcomes Academy Award-nominees Denis Villeneuve and Jake Gyllenhaal to TIFF Bell Lightbox to discuss their recent collaborations on Prisoners and Enemy.

In Conversation With… Denis Villeneuve and Jake Gyllenhaal — Sunday, January 5 at 3:30 p.m.

Hitting theaters today is Denis Villeneuve‘s taut, entertaining kidnapping thriller Prisoners, which recently debuted to strong acclaim. Serving as his studio break-out following the Oscar-nominated drama Incendies, the helmer actually shot another film in between, which also debuted at Toronto International Film Festival.

Marking his first collaboration with Jake Gyllenhaal, Enemy is mysterious thriller that delves into subconscious of a man in emotional crisis, who finds his doppelganger (or is it?) living nearby. Our first footage has now landed, which doesn’t show off a double dose of our lead, but instead finds him lecturing to his class as we get a glimpse inside his personal life. Check out the promising first clip below, along with the first poster for the film also starring Mélanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon and Isabella Rossellini.
