Here’s a summary of the article:
Ann Marie Fleming’s post-apocalyptic drama “Can I Get a Witness?” has emerged as the leading contender at the Vancouver Film Critics Circle awards with eight nominations. The film, which showcases Fleming’s prowess as both writer and director, is competing in major categories including Best Canadian Film and has dominated the Best of BC film selections. Rising star Keira Jang, who delivers her first lead performance in the film, has been recognized in the One to Watch category, demonstrating the film’s ability to launch new talent.
“Can I Get a Witness?” stands at the forefront of a notable trend in Canadian cinema this year, joining other dystopian narratives like “40 Acres” and Guy Maddin’s “Rumours.” The film’s strong presence in the BC-specific categories, where it faces competition from two documentaries (“Ari’s Theme” and “The Chef & the Daruma”), further cements its position as a significant achievement in regional filmmaking. The winners will be announced at the VIFF Centre in Vancouver on February 18th, where the film could potentially add to its already impressive recognition.
