    • Abstract:
      The article reports that after two weeks of feuding among three major Montreal film festivals in Quebec, Telecom Canada and the Societies de developed des enterprises culturally (SODEC) have reaffirmed their support for the New Montreal Film Festival ahead of its first edition in October. In a joint statement, Telecom Canada, the public film financier, and SODEC, its Quebec provincial counterpart, have reaffirmed their intention to give Montreal a major festival by helping underwrite the costs of launching the New Montreal Film Festival.
