#TIFF2023 coverage continues...I never dreamed that I would ever get the chance to interview Hiam Abbas, let alone meet her director daughter, Lina Soualem. But it happened this year, and it's one of my moments of gratitude. "Gaza Mon Amour" was my favorite film at TIFF2020, and I've long admired Hiam for her work in films like "Satin Rouge," "The Syrian Bride," "Munich," "The Lemon Tree," "The Visitor," etc. However, many of you may know her

At first, I was turned off by the subject matter of Designer $hit but after watching it and chatting with director, Saffron Cassady, I think this is a topic that's not only important, but also a film that's immensely watchable. Infusing humour, animation and pixelation into her film, Saffron minimizes the ick factor and eases viewers into empathizing with her personal struggle and learn about fecal microbial transplant from a medical and pharmaceutical perspective.
