From the G20 Protests to the Toronto International Film Festival
How real-life G20 protests became part of a fictional film, now showing at TIFF.
When filmmaker Andrew Cividino began shooting his short film We Ate the Children Last in June 2010, he wanted to create a dystopian setting to match the dark narrative. Part way through filming, however, he found himself in the midst of a real police state in downtown Toronto. The film, which premieres this week at TIFF, is set in the future, but Cividino and his crew shot their riot footage smack in the middle of Toronto’s G20 weekend.
