As CFF marks two decades of Canadian filmmaking, this panel asks: what does sustainable producing look like now – and what will it take to shape the next 20 years?
Consider this a group session for anyone who’s carried a project – and wants to keep building.

2026 is shaping-up to be Sienna Spiro‘s year. The emerging English Singer-Songwriter is seeing global success with her breakthrough hit “Die on this Hill” after first surfacing a few years back on TikTok. She has embarked on THE VISITOR TOUR, an intimate North American tour which saw her in Toronto last night at The Great Hall. Following North America, she heads to Europe this May.
We are so thrilled to have attended the sold-out show, which placed Spiro‘s emotive mezzo-Soprano vocals front and center before an adoring crowd of fans. The abbreviated set, clocking-in at just under an hour, is meant to be a confidence booster as it was apparent to even the most casual fan in the room that Spiro is going onto bigger and better things very soon.
This marks her first ever visit to Toronto, which she claims is her favourite show yet on her tour. Fans gifted her with drawings, a Blue Jays jersey and signs, and she told the crowd that she tried Tim Hortons for the first time ever, enjoying particularly, the chocolate Timbit.
Spiro releases new single “The Visitor“ this coming Friday, which touches upon feeling like she has an expiry date in some relationships whether they be with friends or lovers.
A spellbinding performance of “Die on this Hill” below from the show:

Follow an emotional story of how love is no joke when Searchlight Pictures’ Is This Thing On? begins streaming on Hulu on Disney+ on March 20, 2026.
Searchlight Pictures’ Is This Thing On? explores the complexities of long-term relationships under the direction of Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Bradley Cooper (A Star Is Born, Maestro). Set against the backdrop of New York’s stand-up comedy scene, the film follows Alex (Will Arnett), who turns to late-night comedy clubs as an unlikely form of therapy while navigating a faltering marriage. To prepare for the role, Arnett spent roughly six weeks writing and performing stand-up material in real clubs nearly every night. Arnett also co-wrote the film with Cooper and Mark Chappell (See How They Run), from a story by Arnett, Chappell, and John Bishop (The John Bishop Show), whose life inspired the character of Alex.
Is This Thing On? delivers a hopeful and deeply human story through the performances of an all-star ensemble cast that includes Laura Dern, Andra Day, Bradley Cooper, Christine Ebersole, Ciarán Hinds, Amy Sedaris, Sean Hayes (one of Arnett’s partners in the popular podcast Smartless) and Scott Icenogle, (real life husband of Hayes, adding to the authenticity of their roles).
Film Synopsis
As their marriage quietly unravels, Alex (Will Arnett) faces middle age and an impending divorce, seeking new purpose in the New York comedy scene, while Tess (Laura Dern) confronts the sacrifices she made for their family – forcing them to navigate co-parenting, identity, and whether love can take a new form.
