Nobody May Come written and directed by Ella Hatamian and Stiven Luka is taking part in the Toronto Arthouse Film Festival.
The screening is being held on the 18th of October at 19.00.
Valerie Sassyfras is a 68-year-old entertainer from New Orleans with musical roots in Zydeco and Cajun. Her live performances combine the accordion, the mandolin, and signature dance moves in an original blend of swamp-pop that’s earned The Sass a dedicated cult following.
After a video of her song “Girls’ Night Out” goes viral and appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she is invited to compete on America’s Got Talent. With Valerie center stage, Nobody May Come is both a commentary on the reality shows that exploit performers for views, and a portrait of an artist who's still emerging.
The Toronto Arthouse Film Festival welcomes filmmakers who explore and develop new filmmaking conventions in their quest to realise their visions effectively on a limited budget.
The festival is dedicated to showcasing innovative and exciting work by risk-taking filmmakers from around the world. Aesthetically and thematically varied, these films mark the arrival of exciting new directing talents. The Toronto Arthouse Film Festival takes pride in its astute selection process. It is known for discovering hidden gems that later go on to successfully thrive at A-list festivals, with some films even catching the eye of the Academy Awards. In 2021 for example, TAFF selected 'Ala Kachuu – Take and Run', directed by Maria Brendle, which was nominated in 2022 for an Oscar in the Best Live Action Short Film category.
The Toronto Arthouse Film Festival is opening its door from October the 17th to 20th.
Nobody May Come is competing in the ‘Best Documentary Feature Film’ category.
