Anne at 13,000 Ft. is a 2019 Canadian drama film.[1] Directed and written by Kazik Radwanski, the film stars Deragh Campbell as Anne,[2] a shy, socially awkward daycare worker whose attitude to her life and work is radically transformed after she skydives for the first time.[3] It premiered in the Platform Prize program at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival,[4] and received an honourable mention from the Platform Prize jury.[5] In December 2019, the film was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list.[6] After premiering on the festival circuit in 2019, the film's 2020 theatrical release was postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

In 2021, the film won the Toronto Film Critics Association's $100,000 Rogers Best Canadian Film Award.[8] It was also nominated for four Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Motion Picture, and five Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards (winning two for the performances of Campbell and Johnson).[9]
