The 37th edition of this Montreal film festival opens on March 19, and runs until the end of the month. More than 200 films from 40 countries will be presented, most of them screening twice. Venues include the Montreal Museum of Fine Art, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Concordia University, and Cineplex Odeon, Quartier Latin. Many of the films are in English, or with English subtitles.
Though I find the website difficult to navigate (is it just me?) it is possible to access all the showtimes, trailers for most of the films, and to buy tickets and passes on line.
A few of the items that caught my eye:
Art in the 21st Century: Berlin

Something that I have experienced in past years is that additional screenings of popular films are arranged during the festival, so it pays to check the website for repeats.
