Probably my favourite addition to the Toronto International Film Festival this year is Artistic Director Cameron Bailey's personal Tumblr. He opened his Tumblr sometime in 2012, but this year he's actively using the account to outline his own personal project: the Mission List. This list, chosen by Cameron, comprises of fifteen world premiere feature-length films, fiction or non-fiction, that are without distribution in Canada or the US. The reason why they've been singled out? Films on the Mission List directly fulfill the TIFF mission statement.

The Vanguard programme includes one of Cameron's Mission List selections -- THE FAKE. South Korean animator Yeon Sangho's sophomore feature was chosen
"For bringing religion, family and politics together in the most delicious way. For reminding us that good animation doesn’t have to be expensive. For ruthlessness."
