Genie Special Awards

THE GOLDEN REEL AWARD
Les 3 P'tits Cochons / The Three Little Pigs

Sponsored by ZIP.TV







The Golden Reel Award is presented to the Canadian film that earns the highest domestic box office each year. Sponsored by Zip.tv, this special award has featured films that not only have attained commercial success within Canada but also have enjoyed international success and recognition. The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television presents this year's Golden Reel Award to the feature Les 3 P'tits Cochons / The Three Little Pigs, which grossed over $4.6 million in Canada during the qualifying period of January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007.

In this comedy of manners, the feature's '3 P'tits Cochons' are three thirty-something brothers Mathieu (Claude Legault), Christian (Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge) and Remi (Paul Doucet). During the summer of 2006, they take turns recounting their lives to pass the time at their mother's bedside, who is hospitalized and in a coma. They talk about the merits and pleasures of conjugal fidelity and infidelity, their marriages and longing to escape the boredom that has settled into their lives. With each passing day the conversation becomes increasingly explicit between the two younger brothers. As their fantasies evolve into the more and more risqué, they are driven to act on their desires, despite their older brother's stricter principles and wary advice.

A feature film directorial debut for Patrick Huard garnering four nominations at the 28th Annual Genie Awards, Les 3 P'tits Cochons / The Three Little Pigs is produced by Pierre Gendron and Christian Larouche from Zoofilms Inc. and is distributed by Christal Films Distribution. Congratulations to all involved in its production, distribution and exhibition.
