This special presentation is a trial for this year. We are counting on your enthusiastic response to make it a regular section of the Festival for our future editions, so tell all your friends to join us and enjoy these great films! Cela faisait quelques années que l’on rêvait, au FIFEM, d’offrir aux familles anglophones de Montréal – ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui comprennent bien l’anglais – la possibilité de voir des grands films dans leurs versions originales anglaises. Cette année, grâce à la collaboration du journal The Montreal Gazette, notre rêve devient réalité! Quatre des films programmés au FIFEM 2009 seront présentés uniquement en anglais, sans narration ni sous-titres – trois longs-métrages et un court-métrage. Cette présentation spéciale est un essai pour cette année. Nous comptons donc sur votre enthousiasme afin de nous aider à en faire une section régulière de votre festival, alors passez le message à tous vos amis et venez voir ces excellents films!
 Canada 2008, fiction, 95 minutes, original English version
Finn on the Fly is a story about friendship, loyalty and learning to trust your instincts. Finn, a cool, life-lovin', Frisbee-playing dog, and his owner, shy 13-year-old Ben, suddenly find their lives changed when Finn is accidentally transformed into a human being when Dr. Madeline Madsen’s experiment goes wrong. Once on two legs, Finn teaches Ben to feel the wind in his fur, catch Frisbees like a dog and, ultimately, to find his own pack.
On Christmas Eve, Bebe is alone in the house. Suddenly, a magic jewel will set him on a fantastic adventure up to the North Pole, through its unforgettable forests, deserts and beautiful islands. But most intriguing of all, he will travel aboard a flying mug !
Every character in this film has a passion that spins their story into a modern tale. The program will begin with the short film
HOW PEOPLE GOT FIRE Canada 2008, animation, 16 minutes, original English version How People Got Fire is a short animated film that mixes two traditional T’linget stories.

With the recent death of her absent father, her wayward brother returns home, compelling them all to face themselves and what it truly means to be a "family".
