Old Stone - 4PM
2017-02-16 16:00 (America/Toronto) | Annual Barrie Film Festival
Old Stone
Screening: Thursday, February 16, 2017 – 4:00 pm
Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop Street West, Barrie
Written and Directed by: Johnny Ma
Cast: Gang Chen, Nai An and Hongwei Wang
Thriller, 14A for coarse language and violence, 80 minutes, Language: Mandarin with English subtitles (Canada/China)

“Defying its somewhat generic-sounding title, Johnny Ma’s gripping criminal thriller Old Stone deploys powerful performances and eerie imagery to convey the moral breakdown of an upstanding taxi driver and the society from which he emerges.” – Clarence Tsui, Hollywood Reporter

When a drunken passenger causes Lao Shi to swerve and hit a motorcyclist, the driver stops to help the injured man. When no police or ambulance arrive he drives the victim to the hospital, checks him in and finds himself liable for the man’s medical bills. The repercussions of Shi’s selfless act expose a society rife with bone-chilling callousness and bureaucratic indifference. On the verge of losing his cab, his job and his family, Lao Shi (in a magnificent performance by Chen Gang) has to resort to desperate measures to survive.

I, Daniel Blake - 4PM
2017-03-01 16:00
Screening: Wednesday, March 1, 2017 – 4:00 pm
Location: Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Directed by: Ken Loach
Principle Cast: Dave Johns, Hayley Squires and Sharon Percy
Drama, 14A for mature themes and coarse language, 100 minutes (UK/France/Belgium)

“I, Daniel Blake is one of Loach’s finest films, a drama of tender devastation that tells its story with an unblinking neorealist simplicity that goes right back to the plainspoken purity of Vittorio De Sica.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

“Loach really rages against the machine here – emphatically, heroically, stoically – but the true heart of the film, the friendship between Daniel and Katie, is touching and sincere.” – CJ Johnson, ABC Radio/Australia

Daniel Blake 59, has worked as a joiner most of his life in Newcastle. Now, for the first time ever, he needs help from the State. He crosses paths with a single mother Katie and her two young children, Daisy and Dylan. Katie’s only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in a city she doesn’t know, some 300 miles away. Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man’s land, caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy as played out against the rhetoric of ‘striver and skiver’ in modern day Britain.

Paterson - 4PM
2017-03-16 16:00
Screening: Thursday, March 16, 2017 – 4:00 pm
Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Written and Directed by: Jim Jarmusch
Cast: Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani, Rizwan Manji, Nellie
Comedy/Drama, 14A for some coarse language, 118 minutes
(USA/Germany/France)

“A lovely fable about the fragile, fruitful and occasionally fraught relationship between creativity and everyday life.” – Geoff Andrew, Time Out
“An amazing little film that makes of simplicity its emblema so we can fall in love with its protagonist and the rest of the characters.” – Mikel Zorrilla, Blog de cine

Paterson is a bus driver in the city of Paterson, New Jersey – they share the name. Every day, Paterson adheres to a simple routine: he drives his daily route, observing the city as it drifts across his windshield and overhearing fragments of conversation swirling around him; he writes poetry into a notebook; he walks his dog; he stops in a bar and drinks exactly one beer; he goes home to his wife, Laura. By contrast, Laura’s world is ever changing. New dreams come to her almost daily. Paterson loves Laura and she loves him. He supports her newfound ambitions; she champions his gift for poetry. The film quietly observes the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest of details.

Screening: April 5, 2017 – 4:00 pm
Location: Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Written and Directed by: Hannes Holm
Principle Cast: Rolf Lassgård, Bahar Pars, Filip Berg and Chatarina Larsson
Comedy/Drama, PG for thematic content, some disturbing images, and language, 116 minutes, Languages: Swedish with English subtitles (Sweden)

“Lassgard manages to keep us from completely hating and giving up on him at the beginning of the film – no small trick – and allows us to care for him without engaging in maudlin sentimentality at the end.” – Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

“A nice mix of bitter and sweet, with a strong cast.” – Edward Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly

Stepping from the pages of Fredrik Backman’s international best-selling novel, Ove is the quintessential angry old man next door. An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse, who spends his days enforcing block association rules that only he cares about, and visiting his wife’s grave, Ove has given up on life. Enter a boisterous young family next door who accidentally flattens Ove’s mailbox while moving in and earning his special brand of ire. Yet from this inauspicious beginning an unlikely friendship forms and we come to understand Ove’s past happiness and heartbreaks. What emerges is a heartwarming tale.

My American Cousin - 7PM
2017-04-19 19:00
[fullwidth ]

Canada On Screen | National Canadian Film Day 150

My American Cousin
Screening: Wednesday, April 19, 2017 – 7:00 pm
Location: Uptown Theatre, 55 Dunlop St. W., Barrie
Admission: FREE
Written and Directed by: Sandy Wilson
Comedy/Drama, PG for adult situation and language, 94 minutes
(CANADA)
“The film works a gentle spell around its viewer, and ends up leaving an unexpected lasting impression.” – Dustin Putnam TheFilmFile.com
Now a classic of our national cinema, writer-director Sandy Wilson’s charming film à clef is both an affecting coming-of-age tale and a witty meditation on Canadian-American cultural tensions. Sandy Wilcox (Margaret Langrick) is a preteen growing up in the 1950s in B.C.’s Okanagan, where she’s bored (“Nothing ever happens!”) and also tired of being treated like a child. Everything changes with the arrival of Butch (John Wildman), her dreamy, red-convertible-driving cousin from California, who seems to embody everything exciting Sandy’s been longing for. My American Cousin was a popular hit at home and abroad, and won six Genie Awards — for Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress (Langrick), Actor (Wildman), and Editing (Haida Paul). Arriving on the heels of The Grey Fox, it also solidified B.C.’s ascendance as an important filmmaking centre — and was a rallying cry for women in film everywhere!

Tickets are FREE and will be available at the Uptown Theatre box office April 19th starting at 6:00 pm, on a first come first serve basis.
