Cameras follow these pups through an intense two-year odyssey as they train to become dogs whose ultimate responsibility is to protect their blind partners from harm. Along the way\, these remarkable animals rely on a community of dedicated individuals who train them to do amazing\, life-changing things in the service of their human. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Only the best of the best. The pick of the litter. With deft storytelling skill\, directors Dana Nachman and Don Hardy (the two previously co-directed the feature docs The Human Experiment\, Witch Hunt\, and Love Hate Love) introduce us to a group of unique canine characters along with their human counterparts. Pick of the Litter is a wonderful reminder of the extraordinary relationships we have with our dogs\, especially those that we work beside each day. \n  \nAwards: 8 Wins\, 4 Nominations\n \nWinner\, Audience Award-Documentary\, Cinequest San Jose Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Award for Excellence in Directing by a Woman (Dana Nachman)\, Cleveland International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award-Documentary\, Gasparilla International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Top 20 Audience Favourites\, Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Favourite Special Screening\, Napa Valley Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award-Documentary\, Newport Beach Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award-Documentary\, Omaha Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Women in Cinema Lena Sharpe Award\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Best Feature-Documentary\, Woods Hole Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW7GVR2c80k” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nSponsored By: \n \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:The Silent Revolution - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Silent Revolution\n(Das Schweigende Klassenzimmer)\n Screens:\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  \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  \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]
