Anne at 13,000 Ft. is a 2019 Canadian drama film.[1] Directed and written by Kazik Radwanski, the film stars Deragh Campbell as Anne,[2] a shy, socially awkward daycare worker whose attitude to her life and work is radically transformed after she skydives for the first time.[3] It premiered in the Platform Prize program at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival,[4] and received an honourable mention from the Platform Prize jury.[5] In December 2019, the film was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list.[6] After premiering on the festival circuit in 2019, the film's 2020 theatrical release was postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
In 2021, the film won the Toronto Film Critics Association's $100,000 Rogers Best Canadian Film Award.[8] It was also nominated for four Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Motion Picture, and five Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards (winning two for the performances of Campbell and Johnson).[9]
Anne At 13,000 Ft. was scheduled to open in Canadian cinemas on March 20, 2020, only to see that release scuttled when the pandemic shut down the country. The film ultimately debuted on TIFF's streaming platform last month.
