"EGOISTE" at the Montreal World fest

Though it already had an Oscar-qualifying run in June, “EGOISTE – Lotti Latrous” will have its “festival” premiere at the 53rd Montreal World Film Festival. Latrous left a life of privilege to help HIV/AIDS victims on the Ivory Coast. The doc follows her difficulties in opening her own clinic called “Centre of Hope.”  (Mike Jones)

Comments

That would be the 31st edition of the Montreal World Film Festival, founded in 1977, one year after Montreal hosted the Summer Olympics.
