Hatidze’s peaceful existence is thrown into upheaval by the arrival of an itinerant family\, with their roaring engines\, seven rambunctious children and herd of cattle.

SUMMARY:This is Not a Movie - 2PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening:\nSaturday\, February 22\, 2020 – 2:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nCo-written and Directed by: Yung Chang\nWith: Robert Fisk\, Amira Hass\nDocumentary\, Not Rated – disturbing war-related content and images\, viewer discretion is advised\, 106 minutes\, Language: English/Arabic/English subtitles (Canada/Germany) \n  \n“Yung Chang’s documentary about British journalist Robert Fisk is complex and cinematic.” – Norman Wilner\, NOW Toronto \n  \n“It’s not just journalists\, especially print warhorses\, who will enjoy this account\, but also the others who have no idea what it takes to be a newsperson who has dedicated his or her life to the reporting of truth as they see it.” – Shubhra Gupta\, The Indian Express \n  \nFor more than 40 years\, journalist Robert Fisk has reported on some of the most violent and divisive conflicts in the world. Yung Chang’s This Is Not a Movie captures Fisk in action—feet on the ground\, notebook in hand\, as he travels into landscapes devastated by war\, ferreting out the facts and firing reports back home to reach an audience of millions. The process of translating raw experience into incisive and passionate dispatches requires the determination to see things first-hand and the tenacity to say what others won’t. In his relentless pursuit of the facts\, Fisk has attracted his share of controversy. But in spite of the danger\, he has continued to cover stories as they unfold\, talking directly to the people involved. In an era of fake news\, when journalists are dubbed “the enemies of the people\,” Fisk’s resolve to document reality has become an obsessive war to speak the truth. \n  \nAWARDS:\nNominee\, Best Canadian Feature Film\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/374253247″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nTickets are available online By Clicking Here\, or at the Uptown Theatre during the festival (Feb 20-23\, 2020).

SUMMARY:Push - 6:30PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening:\nSaturday\, February 22\, 2020 – 6:30 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nWritten and Directed by: Fredrik Gertten\nWith: Leilani Farha\, Saskia Sassen\, Joseph Stiglitz\, Roberto Saviano\nDocumentary/Comedy\, PG\, 92 minutes\, Languages: English/ Spanish/German/ Italian/Korean/French/English subtitles (Sweden/Canada/United Kingdom) \n  \n“Fredrik Gertten’s lively\, approachable documentary on the global housing crisis should leave audiences feeling engaged\, enraged and with plenty to discuss afterwards…Potentially depressing material is handled with a light touch and a welcome edge of humour.” – Allan Hunter\, Screen Daily.\n \n  \nHousing prices are skyrocketing in cities around the world. Incomes are not. PUSH sheds light on a new kind of faceless landlord\, our increasingly unliveable cities and an escalating crisis that has an effect on us all. This is not gentrification\, it’s a different kind of monster. The film follows Leilani Farha\, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing\, as she’s travelling the globe\, trying to understand who’s being pushed out of the city and why. “I believe there’s a huge difference between housing as a commodity and gold as a commodity. Gold is not a human right\, housing is\,” says Leilani. \n  \nAWARDS: 7 Wins\nWinner\, Audience Award\, CPH:DOX\, Denmark\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/363883403″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nTickets are available online By Clicking Here\, or at the Uptown Theatre during the festival (Feb 20-23\, 2020).

SUMMARY:Into the Canyon - 8:30pm
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening:\nThursday\, February 20\, 2020 – 7:00 pm\nSaturday\, February 22\, 2020 – 8:30 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nDirector: Peter McBride\nWith: Kevin Fedarko and Peter McBride\nDocumentary\, PG\, 84 minutes (USA) \n  \nIn 2016 filmmaker/photographer Pete McBride and writer Kevin Fedarko set out on a 750-mile journey on foot through the entire length of the Grand Canyon. From the outset\, the challenge was far more than they bargained for. More people have stood on the moon than have completed a continuous through hike of the Canyon. McBride and Fedarko took a sectional approach\, achieving a feat that many adventurers have taken decades to complete. Others have lost their lives trying. But their quest was more than just an endurance test – it was also a way to draw attention to the unprecedented threats facing one of our most revered landscapes. \n  \nAwards:\nWinner\, Best Feature-Length Mountain Film\, Banff Mountain Film Festival\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/255637699″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nTickets are available online By Clicking Here\, or at the Uptown Theatre during the festival (Feb 20-23\, 2020).
