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.

DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nSpecial Presentation: \nYouth Unstoppable: The Rise of the Global Youth Climate Movement\nThursday\, December 12 – 7pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nDocumentary\, Not Rated\, 87 min.\, Canada \n  \n[btnsx id=”6625″] \n  \nAt age 15\, filmmaker Slater Jewell-Kemker began attending environmental summits\, camera in hand\, wide-eyed and ready to make a difference. What began as a single journey evolved into an intimate and challenging documentary shot behind the front lines of the largely unseen and misunderstood Global Youth Climate Movement. Seen through the lens of Slater’s camera\, Youth Unstoppable documents the struggles\, events\, and first hand effects on the youth fighting to be heard at home and within the frustrating and complex process of UN Climate Change negotiations. From flood ravaged villages in Nepal to luxury hotels in Cancun\, from the tailings ponds of the Alberta Tar Sands to the riots of Copenhagen\, culminating with the intense and defining events at the 21st UN Climate Change Conference in Paris\, Youth Unstoppable shows us a powerful vision for the future of our planet and the young people who will lead us there. \n  \nThis film is the 2019 Education offering for grades 7-12.  \n  \nYouth Unstoppable premiered at Michael Moore’s invite-only Traverse City Film Festival\, going on to screen at dozens of festivals around the world and garnering thirteen awards. \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band - 7pm

Don Birnam\, Splash Report \n  \n“Heartbreakingly beautiful film.” – Anne Brodie\, What She Said \n  \nOnce Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band is a confessional\, cautionary\, and occasionally humorous tale of Robbie Robertson’s young life and the creation of one of the most enduring groups in the history of popular music\, The Band. The film is a moving story of Robertson’s personal journey\, overcoming adversity and finding camaraderie alongside the four other men who would become his brothers in music and who together made their mark on music history.

Sharp of both suit and vocabulary\, Nighy (The Bookshop)\, is winningly deadpan as Scrabble-obsessed Merseyside tailor Alan\, whose eldest son Michael stormed out of the house after a particularly heated round of the popular board game\, never to return. Years later\, Alan and his other son Peter (Sam Riley) continue the search while trying to repair their own strained relationship. Working from a witty and astute script by veteran screenwriter Frank Cottrell-Boyce (The Railway Man\, Goodbye Christopher Robin)\, director Carl Hunter deploys a vivid visual style and striking production design to capture the shifting moods of a family who know plenty of words but struggle to communicate. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22R-JQRov_U” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]

From her childhood in the steel town of Lorain\, Ohio to ‘70s-era book tours with Muhammad Ali\, from the front lines with Angela Davis to her own riverfront writing room\, Toni Morrison leads an assembly of her peers\, critics and colleagues on an exploration of race\, America\, history and the human condition as seen through the prism of her own literature. Inspired to write because no one took a “little black girl” seriously\, Morrison reflects on her lifelong deconstruction of the master narrative. Woven together with a rich collection of art\, history\, literature and personality\, the film includes discussions about her many critically acclaimed works\, including novels “The Bluest Eye\,” “Sula” and “Song of Solomon\,” her role as an editor of iconic African-American literature and her time teaching at Princeton University. \n  \n3 WINS\, 1 NOMINATION: \nWON – Audience Award-U.S. Documentary\, Cinetopia Film Festival\, 2019\nWON – Local Heroes Competition\, Cleveland International Film Festival\, 2019\nWON – Audience Award-Best Documentary Feature\, Wisconsin Film Festival\, 2019\nNOMINATED – Best Documentary\, Miami Film Festival\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LzCF6djpz4″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]
