VIDEO: the trailer for Antiviral, Brandon Cronenberg’s first film (screening at TIFF)

This year’s TIFF Canadian features were announced earlier this week, and one of the most high-profile comes courtesy of Brandon Cronenberg, son of Canada’s greatest (and most prolific) oddball director, David Cronenberg. Antiviral is about a clinic that injects celebrity-obsessed fans with viruses harvested from the objects of their adoration, and the trailer suggests Brandon has inherited some of his father’s interest in body horror and cultural commentary—along with an admiration for Toronto actress Sarah Gadon.
