(USA) \n  \n  \n“A complete delight\, a much-needed balm for the soul.” – Los Angeles Times \n  \n“By far the most joyous time you’ll have at the movies all year.” – San Diego Reader \n  \n  \nPick of the Litter follows a litter of puppies from the moment they’re born and begin their quest to become guide dogs for the blind. 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:Free Solo - 2PM
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]

But while gathering material for a segment on the show\, Steve stumbled onto a few vintage record albums that would change his life forever. Bizarre cast recordings marked “internal use only” revealed full-throated Broadway-style musical shows about some of the most recognizable corporations in America: General Electric\, McDonald’s\, Ford\, DuPont\, Xerox. Steve didn’t know much about musical theater\, but these recordings delighted him in a way that nothing ever had. While tracking down rare albums\, unseen footage\, composers and performers\, Steve forms unlikely friendships and discovers that this discarded musical genre starring tractors and bathtubs was bigger than Broadway. \n  \nAwards: 10 Wins\, 10 Nominations\n \nWinner\, SummerDocs Audience Award\, Hamptons International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Humour & Humanity Award\, Heartland International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Nantucket Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Top 20 Audience Favourites\, Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Albert Maysles New Documentary Director Award\, Tribeca Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Most Popular International Documentary Film\, Vancouver International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Exuberance in Documentary Filmmaking\, Traverse City Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Honorable Mention\, Gibson Music Films/Music City Corporation\, Nashville Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Choice Award\, Sidewalk Film Festival\, Birmingham\, Alabama\, 2018\nNominated\, Audience Award/Outstanding Achievement in Graphic Design or Animation\, Cinema Eye Honours Awards\, US\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTgS1SXr0nc” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nSponsored By: \n \n \n[/col_one]

Baird\nCast: Steve Coogan\, John C. Reilly\, Shirley Henderson\, Nina Arianda and Danny Huston\, Rufus Jones\nBiography/Comedy/Drama\, PG for some language/smoking\, 97 min.\n(United Kingdom/Canada/USA) \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Stan & Ollie has plenty to say about the things that bring us together\, and the things that keep us together.” – Adam Graham\, Detroit News \n  \n\n“A delightful romp with the duo considered by some to be the best comedy team of the 20th century.” – Harvey S. Karten\, Big Apple Reviews \n  \n“Stan & Ollie is a joyous ode to an iconic duo’s final few years that portrays its subjects with the love and attention its audience craves.” – Gus Edgar\, Film Inquiry \n  \nLaurel & Hardy\, one of the world’s great comedy teams\, set out on a variety hall tour of Britain in 1953. Diminished by age and with their golden era as the kings of Hollywood comedy now behind them\, they face an uncertain future. As the charm and beauty of their performances shines through\, they re-connect with their adoring fans. The tour becomes a hit\, but Stan & Ollie can’t quite shake the spectre of Laurel and Hardy’s past; the long-buried ghosts\, coupled with Oliver’s failing health\, start to threaten their precious partnership. A portrait of the most tender and poignant of creative marriages\, they are aware that they may be approaching their swan song\, trying to rediscover just how much they mean to each other. \n  \nAwards: 2 Wins\, 19 Nominations \nNominated\, Golden Globe\, Best Performance of an Actor – Musical or Comedy (John C.
