Xavier Dolan, the Québec director, writer, and star of “J’ai tué ma mère” (”I Killed My Mother”), an audacious and captivating first film that had its world premiere at the 2009 Cannes film festival, is the first winner of the Toronto Film Critics Association’s new Jay Scott Prize for an emerging artist.

Angela Baldassarre — film critic, founding member of the Toronto Film Critics Association, wife, mother and a very good friend — passed away November 15th, 2007. I am writing this appreciation for her colleagues in FIPRESCI because, were it not for Angie, I wouldn’t know any of you. Angie brought the Toronto critics into the organization, placing us on film-festival juries around the world and helping our fairly insular group make new connections and new friends.
