EIFF ROAD TO 40 - Parasite
Christian Zyp interviews Vincent Brulotte (Production Coordinator & Programmer) from the Edmonton International Film Festival discuss the 4th and final edition of the EIFF ROAD TO 40 screenings. This time it's the EIFF's Road to 40: Parasite on Thursday, August 27, 2026 7:00 PM MDT at Landmark Cinemas 9 City Centre. PARASITE (2019) which was directed by Bong Joon Ho, revolves around a poor family of parents, son, and daughter, who struggle to survive in a society with the least luxuries. They were managing their lives, obviously criticizing the wealthy, until one day Choi-woo-sik, the son of the family received an opportunity to tutor a wealthy girl, through a friend’s invitation. This is when the whole comedy turns into a tragedy, for the time being, because of the human desire for luxury and the prevailing avarice for pampered commodities. The film is a critical portrayal of contemporary society, where the wealthy get the best while the poor suffer to the fullest. The way the poor family slowly fuses into the wealthy, pretending like they don’t know each other illustrates how crooked people can go to achieve their needs and desires. But at the same time, I sort of felt like, “why are the wealthy family members showing this much ignorance and trusting someone who is totally new to them?” EIFF WEBSITE & TIX INFO: https://eiffroadto40.eventive.org/schedule/eiff-s-road-to-40-parasite-69f4da137bdc1c081401cbd7

MODERN WHORE - Nicole Bazuin and Andrea Werhun Interview (Re-Release)
Christian Zyp interviews Andrea Werhun (co-writer/co-producer) and Nicole Bazuin (director/producer) about their documentary MODERN WHORE. It's available on CRAVE in Canada and VOD platforms everywhere. Sean Baker (Anora) serves as an executive producer on the film. Andrea Werhun and Nicole Bazuin challenge toxic misconceptions about sex work and sex workers with great audacity and high style. An impassioned and insightful rebuttal to the assumptions, misconceptions, and faulty representations that surround sex work and sex workers, Modern Whore may also be the most audacious and engaging movie ever made about the oldest profession. Successfully expanding on their 2020 short film and book of the same name, director Nicole Bazuin and subject and co-writer Andrea Werhun take viewers on a very eventful journey through Werhun’s experiences as an escort and exotic dancer, a career she began when she was a university student in Toronto. As Werhun recounts with great flair and frankness in the film’s stylized, fourth-wall-breaking re-enactments, there were many lessons to be learned and challenges to be faced, including the lack of protection from toxic clients and her own internalized versions of the shame that society associates with female pleasure and the sex industry. Though Modern Whore doesn’t flinch from portraying the darker and more disturbing aspects of sex work, its greater aim is to validate and celebrate the people who perform it, presenting them as fully complex individuals. The film also ventures beyond the scope of Werhun’s career to include experiences and perspectives that are different from her own as a white cisgendered woman, resulting in a wider view of the sex worker community.
