Once Were Brothers blends rare archival footage\, photography\, iconic songs and interviews with many of Robertson’s friends and collaborators including Bruce Springsteen\, Eric Clapton\, Van Morrison Martin Scorsese\, Peter Gabriel\, Taj Mahal\, Dominique Robertson\, Ronnie Hawkins\, and more. \n  \n  \nAwards: \nNominee\, Best Canadian Feature Film\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2019 \n[col_one] \n\nProgram is Sponsored by: \n \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]

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]

Tracy Edwards’ inspirational dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it\, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure\, and potential sponsors rejected her\, fearing that all aboard would not survive and generate bad publicity. However\, Tracy refused to give up: she remortgaged her home and bought a second-hand boat\, putting everything on the line to ensure that the team made it to the starting line. Although blessed with tremendous belief in herself\, Tracy was also beset by crippling doubts and was only able to make it through – and ultimately astonish the sports world – with the support of her remarkable crew. \n  \n2 WINS\, 1 NOMINATION:\nWON – Audience Award/Best Film\, Dublin International Film Festival\, 2019\nWON – Audience Award/International Feature\, Northwest Fest\, 2019\nNOMINATED – Best Documentary\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2019 \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJbwJ8fe0ng” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]

Interviews with local residents\, scientists\, and healthcare professionals reveal the hardships and ecological dangers of intensive and continuous pesticide applications and the environmental injustice thrust upon people living in one of the most sacred\, biologically unique and diverse locations on earth.

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]
