For besieged civilians\, hope and safety lie underground inside the subterranean hospital known as the Cave\, where paediatrician and managing physician Dr. Amani Ballour and her colleagues Samaher and Dr. Alaa have claimed their right to work as equals alongside their male counterparts\, doing their jobs in a way that would be unthinkable in the oppressively patriarchal culture that exists above. Following the women as they contend with daily bombardments\, chronic supply shortages and the ever-present threat of chemical attacks\, The Cave paints a stirring portrait of courage\, resilience and female solidarity. \n  \nAWARDS: 11 wins and 17 nominations \nNominee\, Best Documentary Feature\, Academy Awards\, 2020\nWinner\, People’s Choice Award – Documentary\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2019\nWinner\, Audience Award/Nominee\, Best Documentary Feature\, Camden International Film Festival\, 2019\nWinner\, The Unforgettables\, Cinema Eye Honors Awards\, US\, 2020\nWinner\, Cinematic Documentary Award\,Cork International Film Festival\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaZkwBWuN2A” 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:Blue Note Records - 4:30PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening:\nSunday\, February 23\, 2020 – 4:30 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nWritten and Directed by: Sophie Huber\nWith: Ambrose Akinmusire\, Miles Davis\, Herbie Hancock\, John Coltrane\, Wayne Shorter\, Norah Jones\, Don Was and many more.\nDocumentary\, PG\, 85 minutes (USA/Switzerland) \n  \n“Sophie Huber’s consistently fascinating documentary about Blue Note Records leaves you wishing only one thing: it should have been longer.” – Frank Scheck\, Hollywood Reporter \n  \n“Even if jazz is not your thing\, Huber’s rich musical history of its preeminent label is something to sink into.” – Laura Clifford\, Reeling Reviews \n  \n“Great interviews; great music; great Black history. Enough said.” – Louis Proyect\, Counterpunch.org \n  \nThrough rare archival footage\, current recording sessions and conversations with Blue Note artists\, the film reveals a powerful mission and illuminates the vital connections between jazz and hip hop. One of the most important record labels in the history of jazz — and\, by extension\, that of American music — Blue Note Records has been home to such groundbreaking artists as Miles Davis\, Thelonious Monk\, John Coltrane\, Bud Powell and Art Blakey\, as well as present-day luminaries like Robert Glasper\, Ambrose Akinmusire and Norah Jones. Founded in New York in 1939 by German Jewish refugees Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff\, the history of Blue Note Records goes beyond the landmark recordings\, encompassing the pursuit of musical freedom\, the conflict between art and commerce and the idea of music as a transformative and revolutionary force. \n  \nAWARDS: 4 Wins\, 10 Nominations \nNominee\, Audience Award\, Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Audience Award – Best Documentary\, Cork International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, John Schlesinger Award\, Palm Springs International Film Festival\, 2019\nWinner\, Programmers Award – Documentary\, Pan African Film Festival\, 2019\nNominee\, Audience Award – Best Documentary\, Sheffield International Documentary Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Audience Award – Documentary\, Tribeca Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D0uVDnCOR4″ 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).

Aiming to master the world’s largest instrument\, five young organists compete in the prestigious Canadian International Organ Competition\, culminating in a captivating finale at Montreal’s historic Notre-Dame Basilica. This high-stakes event\, with over $100\,000 in prize money\, attracts top musicians from around the world. They each attempt to transcend their hallowed surroundings on a magnificent Casavant organ constructed from 7\,000 pipes. Hang on to your pew as the film travels from Texas to China\, observing the eccentric and exacting competitors who demonstrate incredible dexterity while pushing every limb to bend this immense instrument to their creative will. As the final chords reverberate through cathedral rafters\, one champion will emerge.
