SUMMARY:The Silent Revolution - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Silent Revolution\n(Das Schweigende Klassenzimmer)\nScreens:\nThursday\, February 21\, 4:00 pm\nFriday\, February 22\, 7:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nClick Here to Buy Tickets \n  \nDirector: Lars Kraume\nCast: Leonard Scheicher\, Tom Gramenz\, Lena Klenke\, Jonas Dassler\, Florian Lukas\, Isaiah Michalski\nDrama/History\, PG\, 111 min. Language: German and Russian with English subtitles (Germany) \n  \n“[A] solid\, good-looking piece of filmmaking which is elevated by a clutch of strong performances from the young cast.” – Wendy Ide\, Screen International \n  \n“We face before us a wonderfully atmospheric historical drama\, played with extreme soundness by all the cast and\, especially\, by the younger actors.” – José Martín\, El antepenúltimo mohicano \n  \nIn 1956 East Germany\, a group of senior high schoolers demonstrate solidarity with recent victims of the Hungarian Revolution. Their brief\, silent protest ignites underlying tensions and leads to grave consequences. Lars Kraume (The People vs. Fritz Bauer) examines a fascinating moment in German history — just a few years before the construction of the Berlin Wall begins — with this film based on the true story of a high-school classroom that becomes the site of a political battle of wills. When Kurt (Tom Gramenz) and Theo (Leonard Scheicher) sneak into a West German cinema and catch the pre-feature newsreel\, they see a very different depiction of the uprising in Budapest than what they’ve heard at home\, in the East German town of Stalinstadt. The young men return home inspired at the thought of an idealistic revolution. After debating with their classmates about the virtues of the Hungarian uprising\, Kurt and Theo persuade a majority of their peers to join them in a two-minute observation of silence during class\, in solidarity with those killed in the struggle. Their teacher is shocked and confused\, and reports the incident to the principal\, Direktor Schwarz (Florian Lukas\, The Grand Budapest Hotel\, Goodbye Lenin!). Despite trying to contain the situation\, Schwarz can’t keep his bosses from hearing of the political protest. As the story spreads through the upper levels of the administration\, the students slowly realize the growing gravity of their situation. Deftly weaving together threads of political tension\, adolescent rebellion\, and institutional menace\, Kraume asks us to consider the connection between a nation’s identity and its influence on the identities of its young people\, who are just beginning to question their place in society. \n  \nAwards: 5 Wins\, 8 Nominations \nWinner\, Best Young Actor (Jonas Dassler) Bavarian Film Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Director\, Film by the Sea International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Outstanding Feature Film/Best Cinematography/Best Costume Design\, German Film Awards\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Young Actor (Jonas Dassler) German Screen Actors Awards\, 2018\nJameson CineFest – Miskolc International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Audience Award-World Cinema Independent\, Mill Valley Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Best National Director\, Munich Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fWYUeMmDZA” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \nSponsored By: \n \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Free Solo - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nFree Solo\n  \nThursday\, February 21 – 7:00 pm\nSaturday\, February 23 – 2:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nClick Here to Buy Tickets \n  \nDirectors: Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin\nWith: Alex Honnold\, Jimmy Chin and Tommy Caldwell\nDocumentary\, PG for brief strong language\, 100 min. (USA) \n  \n  \n“A breathtaking portrait of a man engaged in arguably the most dangerous sport in the world.” – Louis Proyect\, Counterpunch.org \n  \n“You don’t have to be a fan of rock climbing to love Free Solo.” – Bruce DeMara\, Toronto Star \n  \n“…stunning cinematography in chronicling star rock climber Honnolds’ career and his rise to the peak (so far). What’s thought-provoking is [the] focus not just on the physical but the psyche of those involved…” – Diana Cheng\, Ripple Effects \n  \n“Alex Honnold’s Free Solo climb should be celebrated as one of the great athletic feats of any kind\, ever.” – The New York Times \n  \n  \nFrom award-winning documentary filmmaker Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin\, the directors of “MERU\,” comes FREE SOLO\, a stunning\, intimate and unflinching portrait of free soloist climber Alex Honnold\, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock … the 3\,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park … without a rope. FREE SOLO is an edge-of-your seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who challenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible\, revealing the personal toll of excellence. As the climber begins his training\, the armor of invincibility he’s built up over decades unexpectedly breaks apart when Honnold begins to fall in love\, threatening his focus and giving way to injury and setbacks. Vasarhelyi and Chin succeed in beautifully capturing deeply human moments with Honnold as well as the death-defying climb with exquisite artistry and masterful\, vertigo-inducing camerawork. The result is a triumph of the human spirit that represents what The New York Times calls “a miraculous opportunity for the rest of us to experience the human sublime.” \n  \nAwards: 14 Wins\, 44 Nominations\nNominated\, Best Documentary Feature\, Academy Awards\, USA\, 2019\nNominated\, Audience Award\, Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Documentary Feature\, Camden International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, The Unforgettables\, Cinema Eye Honors Awards\, US\, 2019\nWinner\, Critics Choice Documentary/Best Cinematography\, Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Mill Valley Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, People’s Choice Award\, Documentary\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Documentary Feature\, Virginia Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvOB5MYHjuk” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n \n[/col_one]
