Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves is one of the most ambitious – and deliriously-titled – films to come out of Canada in a long, long time. Co-written and directed by the two young Montreal filmmakers Simon Lavoie and Mathieu Denis, the film posits what could have happened after the 2012 Quebec student protests, otherwise known as the “Maple Spring.” It also won the “Best Canadian Feature” award at TIFF '16 and is now screening as part of Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival. During TIFF '16, Lavoie and Denis spoke to TIFF CEO Piers Handling about their cinematic influences, inciting revolution, and creating a new era of Canadian film. http://www.tiff.net/canadas-top-ten/
