SUMMARY:Chuck - 1:30PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nChuck (aka The Bleeder)\nSaturday\, October 14\, 1:30 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\, screen 4 \nDirected by: Phillipe Falardeau\nCast: Liev Schreiber\, Elisabeth Moss\, Jim Gaffigan\, Ron Perlman and Naomi Watts\nUSA / 2016 / Drama/Biography / 14A for coarse language\, substance abuse\, graphic violence / 98 min. \n  \n“Liev Schreiber is top-notch in the lead role in this funny\, sad and warm cautionary tale.” – Bruce Demara\, Toronto Star \n  \nHe was the pride of Bayonne\, New Jersey\, a man who went fifteen rounds in the ring with Muhammad Ali\, and the real life inspiration for Rocky Balboa. But before all that\, Chuck Wepner (Liev Schreiber) was a liquor salesman and father with a modest prizefighting career whose life changed overnight when\, in 1975\, he was chosen to take on The Greatest in a highly publicized title match. It’s the beginning of a wild ride through the exhilarating highs and humbling lows of sudden fame. But what happens when your fifteen minutes in the spotlight are up? Driven by a committed performance from Liev Schreiber\, Chuck is a refreshingly human tale of resilience and redemption. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i_7m753JBI” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:The Breadwinner - 2PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Breadwinner\nSaturday\, October 14\, 2:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\, screen 2 \nDirected by: Nora Twomey\nCast: Saara Chaudry\, Laara Sadiq and Shaista Latif\nCanada/Ireland/Luxembourg / 2017 / Family/Animation / 94 min. \n  \n“The picture sings and inspires.” – Brad Wheeler\, Globe and Mail \n“The Breadwinner is a glorious demonstration of the power of myth to deal with brutal reality\, and the power of truth to animate myth.”\n– Steve Pond\, TheWrap \n  \nFrom executive producer Angelina Jolie and Cartoon Saloon\, creators of the Academy Award®-nominated The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea\, comes the highly-anticipated new feature based on Deborah Ellis’ bestselling novel. \nThe Breadwinner tells the story of Parvana\, an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested\, Parvana disguises herself as a boy in order to support her family.

SUMMARY:Loving Vincent - 3:30pm
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nLoving Vincent\nSaturday\, October 14\, 3:30 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\, screen 1 \nWritten and Directed by: Dorota Kobiela\, Hugh Welchman\nCast: Aidan Turner\, Douglas Booth\, Chris O’Dowd\, Jerome Flynn and Saoirse Ronan\nUnited Kingdom/Poland / 2017/ Animation/Drama\, PG for mature thematics elements\, some violence\, sexual material / 94 min. \n  \n“Brings a poetic sense of tragedy to the last act of van Gogh’s life\, and fresh insight into the kind of man he was.” – Peter Debruge\, Variety \n“There are enough traces of the artist himself in the movie\, from his many paintings to the famous letters he wrote to his brother and benefactor Theo\, to please both experts and newbies\, who should enjoy watching his work come to life on screen.” – Jordan Mintzer\, Hollywood Reporter \n  \nLoving Vincent is the world’s first fully oil painted feature film. The film brings the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to life to tell his remarkable story. Every one of the 65\,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who travelled from all across the world to the Loving Vincent studios in Poland and Greece to be a part of the production. As remarkable as Vincent’s brilliant paintings\, is his passionate and ill-fated life\, and mysterious death. No other artist has attracted more legends than him. Variously labeled a martyr\, a lustful satyr\, a madman\, a genius and a layabout\, the real Vincent is at once revealed in his letters\, and obscured by myth and time. Vincent himself said in his last letter: ‘We cannot speak other than by our paintings’. We take him at his word and let the paintings tell the real story of Vincent van Gogh. First shot as a live action film with actors\, and then hand-painted over frame-by-frame in oils\, the final effect is an interaction of the performance of the actors playing Vincent’s famous portraits\, and the performance of the painting animators\, bringing these characters into the medium of paint. \n  \nAwards:\nWON – Best Feature\, Audience Award\, Cinefest Sudbury International Film Festival\, 2017\nWON – Audience Award\, Annecy International Animated Film Festival\, 2017\nWON – Best Animation Film\, Shanghai International Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvpVKrNyyxk” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]
