Endless Cookie Wins Rogers Best Canadian Documentary from Toronto Film Critics Association

Endless Cookie is the winner of the Rogers Best Canadian Documentary award from the Toronto Film Critics Association. The win was announced at the annual TFCA Awards Gala at the Omni King Edward Hotel in Toronto, hosted by actress Tamara Podemski. Endless Cookie scores a cash prize of $50,000, courtesy of Rogers, with the award.

Directed by half-brothers Seth Scriver and Pete Scriver, the animated documentary offers a riotous and offbeat feat of storytelling as the siblings—one white and one Indigenous—collaborate as Seth sets out to record Pete's stories. Along the way, Pete's rambling tales take plenty of digressions and find just as many interruptions as family members and neighbours enter the scene.

Endless Cookie also won the TFCA's Best Animated Feature prize back in December, marking the first time that a film has won both honours. The film is now streaming on Crave.

Meanwhile, the two runners-up for the Rogers Best Canadian Documentary Award—Ghosts of the Sea, directed by Virginia Tangvald, and Who Killed the Montreal Expos?, directed by Jean-François Poisson—receive cash prizes of $5,000.

Also announced at the gala was Blue Heron as the winner of the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award. The drama directed by Sophy Romvari sees a fateful summer through the eyes of an eight-year-old girl as her troubled brother acts out in ways that will forever shape their Hungarian-Canadian family.
