SUMMARY:The Song of Names - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third ] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nScreenings:\nWednesday\, February 5\, 2020 – 4pm\, 7pm\nThursday\, February 6\, 2020 – 4pm\, 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \nDirected by: François Girard\nPrincipal Cast: Tim Roth\, Clive Owen\, Catherine McCormack\, Saul Rubinek\nDrama\, PG for violence and coarse language\, 113 min. (Canada/Hungary) \n  \n[btnsx id=”6731″] \n  \n“[François] Girard proves once again that he’s a master of music. By weaving both original compositions and classic works flawlessly into the film\, The Song of Names becomes a solemn reflection on war and a lost brotherhood.” – Sara Clements\, Flick Feast \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n\nTim Roth and Clive Owen star in François Girard’s latest sweeping historical drama\, about a man searching for his childhood best friend — a Polish violin prodigy orphaned in the Holocaust — who vanished decades before on the night of his first public performance. \n  \nWith The Song of Names\, acclaimed filmmaker François Girard returns to the classical music milieu of his seminal The Red Violin. And like that film\, The Song of Names sets personal\, professional\, and family tragedies against sweeping historical events. \n  \n  \n\nAwards:\n \nNominee\, Best Canadian Feature Film\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2019\nNominee\, Outstanding Original Score for an Independent Film\, Society of Composers and Lyricists Awards\, 2020 \n\n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbc3iujW6Oc” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n\n\n  \n\n \n  \n[/col_one] \n[fullwidth ]

SUMMARY:Youth Unstoppable - 7pm
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]

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]

Cynical 70ish cartoonist Victor (a superb Daniel Auteuil)\, his marriage to the tart-tongued Marianne (Fanny Ardant) in shambles\, and his best days seemingly behind him\, becomes intrigued by his son’s friend Antoine’s (Guillaume Canet) latest successful enterprise. Antoine’s “Time Travellers” troupe offers clients the chance to go back in time to any moment they wish\, and the TT team of actors and technicians guarantees a completely realistic immersion in the era chosen. Victor accepts Antoine’s offer of a free trial – and chooses to go back to the day in 1974 when he originally met Marianne in a raucous Lyon bistro. Suffice it to say that when the shaggy-haired “younger” Victor goes back to said Lyon bistro and meets waitress Margot (Doria Tillier\, Bedos’ real-life companion)\, who happens to be Antoine’s partner when she’s not acting\, more than just sparks fly… (VIFF 2019) \n  \nNOMINATED – Best Feature\, Hamburg Film Festival\, 2019\nNOMINATED – Best International Film\, Haifa International Film Festival\, 2019 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIZS6AT98FI” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]
