TORONTO -- The Montreal Festival of New Media/New Cinema, Canada's largest digital film showcase, on Tuesday said its artistic director, Luc Bourdon, has resigned after four years in the post. The Montreal festival, a traditional rival to the Montreal World Film Festival, in a statement said Bourdon is leaving his post to return to documentary production and screenwriting. The festival added that it has appointed Bruno Jobin as interim artistic director while a replacement for Bourdon is sought. Bourdon originally joined the Montreal festival in March 2000. His arrival followed Daniel Langlois, the founder of computer effects software maker Softimage, putting his financial backing behind the Montreal Festival of New Media/New Cinema and Ex Centris, a state-of-the-art digital film-production center in downtown Montreal. The 33rd edition of the Montreal Festival of New Media/New Cinema is scheduled for Oct. 14-24.
