Joel Bender's KARLA to open in theatres across Canada on January 20th

From the January 10th Globe and Mail article "Karla opens next week":

A Montreal-based company has agreed to distribute a controversial feature film about convicted teen-killer Karla Homolka in theatres across Canada, opening on Jan. 20.

Christal Films confirmed yesterday that it has struck a deal with Quantum Entertainment, the Los Angeles-based producers of Karla, to carry the 104-minute film which explores the murderous activities of Homolka and her then-husband, Paul Bernardo, in Southwestern Ontario in 1991 and 1992. The 35-year-old Homolka was released from prison in July last year and reportedly now lives in the Montreal area.

Yesterday Cineplex Entertainment, the country's largest movie chain, confirmed it will be showing Karla in 15 major markets, including Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Halifax -- but not St. Catharines, the small Ontario city where the rapes and deaths of Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French originated. Indeed, the movie's Ontario exhibition is to be restricted to only the greater Toronto area, where it will play on no more than 20 screens.
