#FIRSTLOOK: “NATIONAL ANTHEM” OPENS IN CANADA STARTING JULY 19, 2024
After premiering at SXSW ’24 to raves, NATIONAL ANTHEM is set to hit theatres later this month via Vortex Media.
The film stars Charlie Plummer (Moonfall) and Eve Lindley (Bros) and is the feature-length debut picture from photographer Luke Gilford who co-wrote the screenplay with David Largman Murray and Kevin Best. The stunning feature is based on Gilford’s photobook National Anthem: America’s Queer Rodeo.
Dylan (Charlie Plummer), a soft-spoken 21-year-old construction worker, is the de facto father figure to his little brother and works odd jobs to help the family get by. After he finds himself with the opportunity to work at a ranch, he is welcomed by a vibrant community of rodeo performers who openly explore their identities and sexuality. He is especially drawn to Sky (Eve Lindley), a force of nature who Dylan connects with deeply, as he begins to forge his own identity.
The film will open in select theatres nationwide, in likely 10-15 theatres. National Anthem premiered at SXSW this past year to critical praise where it was hailed as “delicately radical” by Tim Grierson of Screen International and as a “glorious portrait of rural queer Americana” by Kristy Puchko of Mashable. That’s just the tip of the iceberg though, as the film sits at 95% fresh on RT with over 20 reviews from its festival run.

#TIFF17: DAY SIX SIGHTINGS – LUKE EVANS, ANNETTE BENING, JAVIER BARDEM, CHLOË SEVIGNY, JAMIE BELL + MORE
TIFF ’17 very much continues to be alive and kicking at its halfway point. We admit it, we’re drained but we look forward to the pace calming down tomorrow.
The Birks Diamond Tribute honouring the accomplishments of Canadian Women in Film. Held on the scenic rooftop of the Spoke Club, the gathering brought to us by Maison Birks and Telefilm Canada was a who’s-who and who’s next in the industry. Diverse honourees this year include Ellen Wong, Amanda Brugel, Mina Shum, Shailyn Pierre-Dixon and Sherry White. We are so honoured to have been one of 27 selected jurors across Canada! Hover left and right to navigate the slideshow.
Annette Bening and Jamie Bell are getting praise for their performances in Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. We spotted the pair who play lovers in Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool. We spotted them out earlier doing the rounds and both were gracious to stop for fans! Huge fan of Bening!

Luke Evans‘ star continues to rise especially with his fantastic work in Beauty and the Beast. He is at TIFF ’17 with Professor Marston and the Wonder Women tonight, a timely Film which comes off the recent Box Office record-setting success of the superhero on which it centers. Australian Actress Bella Heathcote also is here for the Film and looked lovely for her Premiere!

Lean on Pete is the one Horse Racing Film of TIFF ’17. Buzz came out of Telluride Film Festival for its star Charlie Plummer who finds himself in a quarter horse. Chloë Sevigny plays a jockey in the Drama. Both stars were kind to stop despite Sevigny joking that nobody knew who she was!

We love the international component of TIFF in that we get to see stars who normally aren’t based stateside here. Adele Exarchopoulos (Blue is the Warmest Colour) and Matthias Schoenaerts graced the Red Carpet at Ryerson Theatre tonight for Racer and the Jailbird and despite being late, they introduced their Film and came back out to greet fans one-by-one. Amaze!
