Canadian writer, director, and actor Sarah Polley joined the Vancouver Writers Fest in celebration of her evocative release, Run Towards the Danger . A complex and exquisite collection of essays, the book captures keystone moments in Polley’s life, as well as the “fallibility of memory, the mutability of reality in the mind, and the possibility of experiencing the past anew, as the person you are now but were not then.” With the paperback version publishing this month, and Polley’s adaptation of Women Talking nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, revisit this intimate conversation between Polley and Vancouver Writers Fest Artistic Director Leslie Hurtig.

First, David Canfield catches up with Women Talking writer and director Sarah Polley and star and producer Frances McDormand, who see that film's awards trajectory as much bigger than whatever happens on Oscar night. Then Katey Rich talks to Pamela Ribon about the whirlwind of attention around her Oscar-nominated short My Year of Dicks— the title that everybody cannot stop talking about.
