Possible Worlds is a 2000 Canadian film adaptation of the 1990 play of the same name by John Mighton. The film is directed by Robert Lepage, widely considered to be Canada’s premiere theatre artist,[1] and stars Tom McCamus and Tilda Swinton.[2][3] Music is by George Koller.
Mighton approached Lepage to direct an adaption of his play, Lepage had seen a tape of Daniel Brook's minimalistic 1998 production of the play, and agreed to direct the film.[4] He liked Mighton's combining of art and science and the theme of diverse, multilayered identity.[5]
The Australian film festival Possible Worlds,[6] running since 2006, was named after the film.[7]
