SUMMARY:World Before Your Feet - 6PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe World Before Your Feet\nSunday\, February 24\, 6:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nClick Here to Buy Tickets \n  \nDirector: Jeremy Workman\nWith: Matt Green\nDocumentary\, PG\, 95 min. (USA) \n  \n“Utterly charming!” – Roger Moore\, Movie Nation \n  \n“The busy metropolis may be a flurry of activity that is impossible to grasp in its entirety\, but\, the movie gently argues\, it reveals rich stories at every step-if only you take the time to stop and ask.” – Pat Padua\, Spectrum Culture \n  \n“Uplifting. Enlightening. Life-affirming.” – Los Angeles Times \n  \nThere are 8\,000 miles of roads and paths in New York City and for the past six years Matt Green has been walking them all – every street\, park\, cemetery\, beach\, and bridge. It’s a five-borough journey that stretches from the barbershops of the Bronx to the forests of Staten Island\, from the Statue of Liberty to Times Square\, with Matt amassing a surprisingly detailed knowledge of New York’s history and people along the way. \nSomething of a modern-day Thoreau\, Matt gave up his former engineering job\, his apartment\, and most of his possessions\, sustaining his endeavour through couch-surfing\, cat-sitting and a $15-per-day budget. He’s not sure exactly why he’s doing it\, only knowing that there’s no other way he’d rather spend his days. The World Before Your Feet is a tribute to an endlessly fascinating city and the freedom to be found\, wherever you live\, in simply taking a walk. \n  \nAwards: 1 Win\, 4 Nominations\n \nNominated\, Best Documentary\, Denver International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Metropolis Grand Jury Prize\, DOC NYC\, 2018\nWinner\, Special Jury Prize-Documentary\, Independent Film Festival of Boston\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Documentary\, Nashville Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Grand Jury Award\, Documentary Feature\, SXSW Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/303150323″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nSponsored By: \n \n \n[/col_one]

Language: English and Yolngu Matha with subtitles (Australia) \n  \n“A heartfelt\, affectionate and admiring celebration of Yunupingu’s success completely on his own terms\, it’s not a cinematic eulogy but rather a rare and haunting glimpse at one of the country’s most significant music talents.” – Sarah Ward\, Concrete Playground \n  \n“Expertly combining performance\, tour\, media and behind-the-scenes footage\, it’s a portrait that lives up to the musician at its centre\, and one that’s as affecting as Yunupingu’s haunting songs.” – Sarah Ward\, Flicks.com.au \n  \n“Moving\, mesmerising and genuinely from the heart\, the extraordinary new Australian documentary holds a mirror to the unique life and music of the late indigenous singer-songwriter Gurrumul Yunupingu.” – Leigh Paatsch\, Herald Sun (Australia) \n  \nCelebrated by audiences at home and abroad\, indigenous artist Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu was one of the most important and acclaimed voices to ever come out of Australia. Blind from birth\, he found purpose and meaning through songs and music inspired by his community and country on Elcho Island in far North East Arnhem Land. Living a traditional Yolngu life\, his breakthrough album ‘Gurrumul’ brought him to a crossroads as audiences and artists around the world began to embrace his music. \n  \nAwards: 2 Wins\, 5 Nominations\n \nWinner\, Best Documentary Feature Film\, Asia Pacific Screen Awards\, 2018\nNominee\, Best Feature Length Documentary\, Best Cinematography\, Best Editing\, Best Sound\, Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Sound for a Documentary\, Australian Screen Sound Guild\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXa3gw3g4C4″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \nSponsored By: \n \n \n  \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:My Mother's Letters - 2PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nMy Mother’s Letters\n\n(Les lettres de ma mère)\n  \nScreening: Sunday\, February 24\, 2:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nClick Here to Buy Tickets \n  \nWritten and Directed by: Serge Giguère\nDocumentary/Biography\, PG\, 87 min. Language: French with English subtitles (Canada) \n  \nIn this very personal and poetic film\, veteran documentarian Serge Giguère pores through 100 letters written by his late mother to him and his 15 siblings. In them\, she details the trials and tribulations of raising 16 children in rural Quebec\, while helping to run a family carpentry business. Through inventive and playful techniques\, Giguère brings the stories alive\, applying creative approaches to family photographs\, archival footage and staged re-enactments. He mixes his mother’s stories with his own memories and those of his siblings\, some of whom hear for the first time what their mother had to say about them. Through these intertwining stories\, the film presents not only a testament of a mother’s complicated love for her many children\, but also offers an intimate look at 1950s working class Quebec.

What’s thought-provoking is [the] focus not just on the physical but the psyche of those involved…” – Diana Cheng\, Ripple Effects \n  \n“Alex Honnold’s Free Solo climb should be celebrated as one of the great athletic feats of any kind\, ever.” – The New York Times \n  \n  \nFrom award-winning documentary filmmaker Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin\, the directors of “MERU\,” comes FREE SOLO\, a stunning\, intimate and unflinching portrait of free soloist climber Alex Honnold\, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock … the 3\,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park … without a rope. FREE SOLO is an edge-of-your seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who challenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible\, revealing the personal toll of excellence. As the climber begins his training\, the armor of invincibility he’s built up over decades unexpectedly breaks apart when Honnold begins to fall in love\, threatening his focus and giving way to injury and setbacks. Vasarhelyi and Chin succeed in beautifully capturing deeply human moments with Honnold as well as the death-defying climb with exquisite artistry and masterful\, vertigo-inducing camerawork. The result is a triumph of the human spirit that represents what The New York Times calls “a miraculous opportunity for the rest of us to experience the human sublime.” \n  \nAwards: 14 Wins\, 44 Nominations\nNominated\, Best Documentary Feature\, Academy Awards\, USA\, 2019\nNominated\, Audience Award\, Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Documentary Feature\, Camden International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, The Unforgettables\, Cinema Eye Honors Awards\, US\, 2019\nWinner\, Critics Choice Documentary/Best Cinematography\, Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Mill Valley Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, People’s Choice Award\, Documentary\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Documentary Feature\, Virginia Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvOB5MYHjuk” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n \n[/col_one]

Language: German and Russian with English subtitles (Germany) \n  \n  \n“[A] solid\, good-looking piece of filmmaking which is elevated by a clutch of strong performances from the young cast.” – Wendy Ide\, Screen International \n  \n“We face before us a wonderfully atmospheric historical drama\, played with extreme soundness by all the cast and\, especially\, by the younger actors.” – José Martín\, El antepenúltimo mohicano \n  \n  \nIn 1956 East Germany\, a group of senior high schoolers demonstrate solidarity with recent victims of the Hungarian Revolution. Their brief\, silent protest ignites underlying tensions and leads to grave consequences. Lars Kraume (The People vs. Fritz Bauer) examines a fascinating moment in German history — just a few years before the construction of the Berlin Wall begins — with this film based on the true story of a high-school classroom that becomes the site of a political battle of wills. When Kurt (Tom Gramenz) and Theo (Leonard Scheicher) sneak into a West German cinema and catch the pre-feature newsreel\, they see a very different depiction of the uprising in Budapest than what they’ve heard at home\, in the East German town of Stalinstadt. The young men return home inspired at the thought of an idealistic revolution. After debating with their classmates about the virtues of the Hungarian uprising\, Kurt and Theo persuade a majority of their peers to join them in a two-minute observation of silence during class\, in solidarity with those killed in the struggle. Their teacher is shocked and confused\, and reports the incident to the principal\, Direktor Schwarz (Florian Lukas\, The Grand Budapest Hotel\, Goodbye Lenin!). Despite trying to contain the situation\, Schwarz can’t keep his bosses from hearing of the political protest. As the story spreads through the upper levels of the administration\, the students slowly realize the growing gravity of their situation. Deftly weaving together threads of political tension\, adolescent rebellion\, and institutional menace\, Kraume asks us to consider the connection between a nation’s identity and its influence on the identities of its young people\, who are just beginning to question their place in society. \n  \nAwards: 5 Wins\, 8 Nominations \nWinner\, Best Young Actor (Jonas Dassler) Bavarian Film Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Director\, Film by the Sea International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Outstanding Feature Film/Best Cinematography/Best Costume Design\, German Film Awards\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Young Actor (Jonas Dassler) German Screen Actors Awards\, 2018\nJameson CineFest – Miskolc International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Audience Award-World Cinema Independent\, Mill Valley Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Best National Director\, Munich Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fWYUeMmDZA” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \nSponsored By: \n \n \n[/col_one]

What’s thought-provoking is [the] focus not just on the physical but the psyche of those involved…” – Diana Cheng\, Ripple Effects \n  \n“Alex Honnold’s Free Solo climb should be celebrated as one of the great athletic feats of any kind\, ever.” – The New York Times \n  \n  \nFrom award-winning documentary filmmaker Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin\, the directors of “MERU\,” comes FREE SOLO\, a stunning\, intimate and unflinching portrait of free soloist climber Alex Honnold\, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock … the 3\,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park … without a rope. FREE SOLO is an edge-of-your seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who challenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible\, revealing the personal toll of excellence. As the climber begins his training\, the armor of invincibility he’s built up over decades unexpectedly breaks apart when Honnold begins to fall in love\, threatening his focus and giving way to injury and setbacks. Vasarhelyi and Chin succeed in beautifully capturing deeply human moments with Honnold as well as the death-defying climb with exquisite artistry and masterful\, vertigo-inducing camerawork. The result is a triumph of the human spirit that represents what The New York Times calls “a miraculous opportunity for the rest of us to experience the human sublime.” \n  \nAwards: 14 Wins\, 44 Nominations\nNominated\, Best Documentary Feature\, Academy Awards\, USA\, 2019\nNominated\, Audience Award\, Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Documentary Feature\, Camden International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, The Unforgettables\, Cinema Eye Honors Awards\, US\, 2019\nWinner\, Critics Choice Documentary/Best Cinematography\, Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Mill Valley Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, People’s Choice Award\, Documentary\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Documentary Feature\, Virginia Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvOB5MYHjuk” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Capernaum - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third ] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nCapernaum\n\nScreening:\nWednesday\, February 6 – 4pm\, 7pm\nThursday\, February 7 – 4pm\, 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \n[btnsx id=”5354″] \n  \nCo-written and Directed by: Nadine Labaki\nCast: Zain Al Rafeea\, Yordanos Shiferaw\, Boluwatife Treasure Bankole\, Cedra Izam\nDrama\, 14A for language and some drug material\, 120 minutes\, Language: Arabic with English subtitles (Lebanon/USA) \n  \n  \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n“A wonderfully complex and rich coming of age story that doesn’t sugar coat the reality of life for those on the fringes of society.” – Rosalyn Try-Hane\, Liquid Marmalade \n“It’s a deeply assured piece of direction\, and though it only plays a few emotional notes\, they are ones that won’t soon leave your memory.” – Emily Yoshida\, New York Magazine/Vulture \n“Given its stark visuals\, its authentic acting by non professionals\, and its humanism\, Capernaum has become the obvious entry by Lebanon to our Academy Awards.” – Harvey S. Karten\, Big Apple Reviews \n  \nWinner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival\, Nadine Labaki’s Capernaum (“Chaos”) tells the story of Zain (Zain al Rafeea)\, a Lebanese boy who sues his parents for the “crime” of giving him life. The film follows the gutsy streetwise child as he flees his negligent parents\, survives through his wits on the streets\, takes care of Ethiopian refugee Rahil (Yordanos Shiferaw) and her baby son\, Yonas (Boluwatife Treasure Bankole)\, being jailed for a crime\, and finally\, seeks justice in a courtroom. This film was made with a cast of non-professionals playing characters whose lives closely parallel their own. Following her script\, Labaki placed her performers in scenes and asked them to react spontaneously with their own words and gestures. When the non-actors’ instincts diverged from the written script\, Labaki adapted the screenplay to follow them. While steeped in the quiet routines of ordinary people\, with an expansive palette: without warning it can ignite with emotional intensity\, surprise with unexpected tenderness\, and inspire with flashes of poetic imagery. Although it is set in the depths of a society’s systematic inhumanity\, Capernaum is ultimately a hopeful film that stirs the heart as deeply as it cries out for action. \n  \n  \nAWARDS: 21 Wins\, 23 Nominations\n \nNominated\, Best Foreign Language Film of the Year\, Academy Awards\, USA\, 2019\nNominated\, Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language\, Golden Globes\, USA\, 2019\nWinner\, Jury Prize\, Prix de la citoyenneté\, and Prize of the Ecumenical Jury\, Cannes Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Palme d’Or\, Cannes Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Feature\, Adelaide Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Achievement in Directing\, Asia Pacific Screen Awards\, 2018\nNominated\, Best International Independent Film\, British Independent Film Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award – US/International Narrative Feature\, Calgary International Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yhy01xVcls” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n  \n[/col_one]

Amateurs are welcome\, which is just as well given that the rum bunch of current members are neither very synchronised nor especially professional. \nBraving the skepticism and ridicule of those around them\, and trained by fallen champion Delphine (Virginie Efira)\, the group sets out on an unlikely adventure. They get to know each other in depth\, exposing their flaws in the privacy of the changing rooms or in the bar after training in the pool\, before setting themselves an overambitious objective: representing France in the world championships in Norway. On the way they rediscover a little self-esteem and a lot about themselves and each other. \n  \nAWARDS:\n \nWon – Mel Hoppenheim Audience Award\, CINEMANIA Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Best Film\, Prix Louis Delluc\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t24K8KFiv7k” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n \n  \n[/col_one]
