TIFF '08: Atom Egoyan
Egoyanic Bomb
We sat down with Canadian writer-director Atom Egoyan ("The Sweet Hereafter," "Exotica") to talk about his provocative and heart-rending new film ADORATION, starring Scott Speedman and Rachel Blanchard.
Atom Egoyan was born in Cairo and raised in Victoria, British Columbia. He studied international relations and classical guitar at the University of Toronto. In addition to filmmaking, he has created works for the theatre and for interdisciplinary art installations, including his piece Auroras, which was part of the 2007 Luminato Festival in Toronto. His films, many of which have received several of the cinema's most prestigious awards, are Next of Kin (84), Family Viewing (87), Speaking Parts (89), The Adjuster (91), Calendar (93), Exotica (94), The Sweet Hereafter (97), Felicia's Journey (99), Krapp's Last Tape (00), Ararat (02), Where the Truth Lies (05) and Adoration (08).
