Mark McLeod and @rodmickleburgh6 both said a few words about the late Volkmar Richter at our recent award ceremony which was dedicated to the memory of “Volkie”. Thanks to his wife, son and daughter for attending as well. He’s missed and will continue to be missed. No amount of written, oral or otherwise tributes will suffice.

The team (@cliquepictures @weenerwoman @nicobazuin ) behind the film Modern Whore accepting their well earned award for best Canadian documentary on video from our very own overworked social media and event producer - @notmadmanmarkmovies

The CMPA-BC award for Best BC film went to @avamariasafai for @foreignerthefilm.Ava Maria Safai accepted her award in person from @jimgordontv and the rest of our members last night. Congratulations on your film and we await your next one with open arms.

As you may know in late January in the midst of this award cycle we lost a dear friend and member of the group Volkmar Richter.Yesterday (mar 28, 2026) a group of his family, friends and colleagues gathered at the beautiful Floral Hall at Vandusen Gardens to celebrate the life of a truly special man. From stories of his early days in Berlin as told by older sibling Conrad to his times at the CBC from Kathryn Gretsinger and of course more comedic and touching remembrances from Rod Micklesburgh a friend of 60 years, one thing was made certain there won’t be another like Volkmar Richter. We also heard briefly from his son and daughter. It was a lovely afternoon for a truly lovely man.And those little note cards he was always seen with - turns out those predate the movies.. RIP Volkie - words by mark mcleod, photos by @tonymayvr and @notmadmanmarkmovies

Last (in terms of acceptance speeches) but not the least. producer @christopheraferguson accepts the award for Best Canadian Female Actor @tatianamaslany for her role in Keeper expressing his thanks for us rewarding a lead in a genre picture.And don’t worry we now have Chris on speed dial for the next time and our DMs are always open Tatiana 😉 Oh and Chris we are so glad you helped save the park. Maybe we can create an award for that??

We learned in an earlier clip that documentarians are good people that like to send in video acceptance speeches when they win an award, so just like her Canadian counterpart the director of The Perfect Neighbour currently streaming on Netflix and nominated in the same category at the Oscar’s. - That’s right we called it first.take a listen to Geeta Gandbhir on the importance of documentary film making.

The Best Supporting Female Actor category was full of excellent performances from @juliette_gariepy in Mile End Kicks and @therealalexrice and @mzthrush both in @meadowlarksmovie. In the end Alex Rice took the prize home. Congrats. Presented by @marshalederman

A brief moment from a lovely tribute to ‘Volkie’ from his friend @rodmickleburgh6 at last nights awards. I remember seeing that film and having a similar conversation. RIP Volkmar..

The 26th Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards delivered a night of cinematic celebration at the VIFF Centre, crowning One Battle after Another as Best Picture. This gripping drama, which pits disillusioned revolutionaries against a deluded fascist manipulated by shadowy forces, not only claimed the top honor but also saw Sean Penn recognized as Best Supporting Male Actor for his powerful performance as a Christmas Adventurers Club applicant.

Meanwhile, the period horror box-office sensation Sinners emerged as a formidable contender, earning both Best Director and Best Screenplay awards for visionary filmmaker Ryan Coogler.

Just like last year with A Complete Unknown, Timothée Chalamet took home the Best Male Actor award, this time for his high-wire leading man act in Marty Supreme. In turn, the Best Female Actor award went to Jessie Buckley for her stirring portrait of a grief-stricken mother in Hamnet. Amy Madigan’s turn as Gladys, the woman at the centre of the mysterious disappearance of 17 third-grade children, earned her the award for Best Supporting Female Actor.

Rounding up the international winners, Iran’s It Was Just an Accident was named Best International Film in Non- English Language, while The Perfect Neighbor, a searing indictment of the stand-your-ground laws, received the award for Best Documentary.
