SUMMARY:The Wife
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Wife\nDirector: Björn Runge\nCast: Glenn Close\, Jonathan Pryce\, Christian Slater\, Max Irons and Elizabeth McGovern\nDrama | 14A for coarse language and mature theme | 100 min. | USA/United Kingdom/Sweden \n  \nSCREENING:\nMonday\, October 15 – 4:30 pm\nSunday\, October 21 – 3:15 pm \nGet your tickets here! \n  \n“The Wife offers viewers a chance to observe one of the finest – and most criminally under praised – actresses of her generation working at the very top of her shrewd\, subtle\, superbly self-controlled game.” – Ann Hornaday\, Washington Post \n“Glenn Close has one of cinema’s greatest faces. With one look she can tell you everything while revealing nothing.” – Erik Anderson\, AwardsWatch \n  \nAfter nearly forty years of marriage\, Joan and Joe Castleman (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) are complements. Where Joe is casual\, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain\, Joan is self-effacing. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as Great American Novelist\, Joan pours her considerable intellect\, grace\, charm\, and diplomacy into the private role of Great Man’s Wife. Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work. Joe’s literary star has blazed since he and Joan first met in the late 1950s. The Wife (based on the novel of the same name by Meg Wolitzer) interweaves the story of the couple’s youthful passion and ambition with a portrait of a marriage\, thirty-plus years later – a lifetime’s shared compromises\, secrets\, betrayals\, and mutual love. \n  \nNOMINATED – Film and Literature Award\, Film by the Sea International Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzCeD7T_Uq0″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Eighth Grade
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nEighth Grade\nWritten and Directed by: Bo Burnham\nCast: Elsie Fisher\, Josh Hamilton\, Emily Robinson and Missy Yager\nComedy/Drama | 14A for coarse language and sexual content | 94 min. | USA \nSCREENING:\nSunday\, October 14 – 5:30 pm\, Uptown Theatre\nSunday\, October 21 – 3:00 pm\, Uptown Theatre \nGet your tickets here! \n  \n“Eighth Grade is personal\, uncomfortable\, and lovely\, a slice-of-life look into current adolescence\, our reliance on social media\, and growing into oneself.” – Roxana Hadadi\, CHESAPEAKE FAMILY MAGAZINE \n“An achingly honest film about some of the ghastliest years of adolescence. Funny\, tender and endearing.” – Rafer Guzman\, NEWSDAY \n  \nIn his feature film directorial debut\, comedian Bo Burnham deftly encapsulates the awkwardness\, angst\, self-loathing and reinvention that a teenage girl goes through on the cusp of high school. Given that the 27-year-old stand-up comic achieved fame as a teenager himself through YouTube by riffing on his insecurities\, he is uniquely capable as the film’s writer and director to tell the story of Kayla\, an anxious girl navigating the final days of her eighth grade year. Like Burnham did more than a decade ago\, 13-year-old Kayla turns to YouTube to express herself\, where she makes advice blogs in which she pretends to have it all together. In reality\, Kayla is sullen and silent around her single father and her peers at school\, carrying out most of her interactions with her classmates on Instagram and Twitter. Her videos are a clever narrative tool that provide insight into her inner hopes and dreams\, much like an inspirational online diary. One of Eighth Grade’s biggest triumphs is in its realism. \n  \n6 WINS\, 3 NOMINATIONS:\nWon – Audience Award\, Chicago Critics Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Truly Moving Picture Award\, Heartland Film\, 2018\nWon – Audience Award – Best Narrative Feature\, San Francisco International Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Best Film & Best Actress (Elsie Fisher)\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Audience Favourite\, Sundance Film Festival: London\, 2018\nNominated – Grand Jury Prize – Narrative Feature Competition\, Dallas International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Grand Jury Prize – Dramatic\, Sundance Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjp0UMSh9VM” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

Her partner of 15 years\, Duncan (Chris O’Dowd)\, aspires to be the world’s foremost expert on reclusive American singer-songwriter Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke) and spends all his free time maintaining a website dedicated to the mostly forgotten rocker.

But when Duncan receives the long-lost demo version of Crowe’s revered album\, it sets off a chain reaction that will change all of their lives. Duncan hails the album as a masterpiece on his Crowe-themed website\, while Annie\, frustrated by his obsession with the washed-up musician\, posts her own scathing review. She is startled when Crowe unexpectedly reaches out to her. As their friendship blossoms\, Crowe comes to London for a visit and the stage is set for an epically messy love triangle that inspires Annie to take the chance of a lifetime. Juliet\, Naked is based on the novel by Nick Hornby. \n  \nNOMINATED – Best Narrative Feature\, Nantucket Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwWKaYsNqBM” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:The Happy Prince
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Happy Prince\nWritten and Directed by: Rupert Everett\nCast: Rupert Everett\, Colin Firth\, Colin Morgan\, Edwin Thomas\, Emily Watson\nDrama/History\, 14A for sexual content\, nudity\, coarse language\, violence\, drug use | 104 min. | English/Italian/French with English subtitles | United Kingdom/Italy/Belgium/Germany \n  \nSCREENING:\nSaturday\, October 20 – 7:30 pm\nSunday\, October 21 – 6:00 pm \nGet your tickets here! \n  \n“The Happy Prince proves that a film can be both bleak and warm-spirited\, as befits its mighty subject.” – David Edelstein\, NEW YORK MAGAZINE/VULTURE \n“As a director\, Everett is sometimes heavy-handed\, but the performances\, and the undeniable injustice of Wilde’s ordeal\, make for a tragedy worthy of its drama-loving subject.” – Helen O’Hara\, TIME OUT \n  \nThe last days of Oscar Wilde – and the ghosts that haunted them – are vividly evoked in Rupert Everett’s directorial debut. Everett gives a career defining performance as Wilde\, physically and emotionally embodying the literary genius as he lives out his last days in exile in Europe. His body ailing and heavy\, his mind spinning\, he survives by falling back on the flamboyant irony and brilliant wit that defined him. As the film travels through Wilde’s final act and journeys through England\, France and Italy\, desire and loyalty face off\, the transience of lust is laid bare\, and the true riches of love are revealed. \n  \n1 WIN\, 2 NOMINATIONS:\nWon – Best Production\, Bavarian Film Awards\, 2018\nNominated – Best Feature Film\, Berlin International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Best Costume Design\, German Film Awards\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sPkicgSc6M” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

But when he reluctantly enters treatment – with encouragement from his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) and a charismatic sponsor (Jonah Hill) – Callahan discovers a gift for drawing edgy\, irreverent newspaper cartoons that develop an international following and grant him a new lease on life. \n  \nNOMINATED – Best Film/Best Feature Film\, Berlin International Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDfltSuCadE” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

There\, custom guitar maker Rick Kelly and his young apprentice Cindy Hulej\, build handcrafted guitars out of reclaimed wood from old hotels\, bars\, churches and other local buildings.

SUMMARY:The Accountant of Auschwitz
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Accountant of Auschwitz\nDirected by: Matthew Shoychet\nDocumentary | PG for mature theme | Not suggested for sensitive or young viewers | 78 min. | English and German with English subtitles | Canada \n  \nSCREENING:\nTuesday\, October 16 – 7:00 pm\, Uptown Theatre \n Get your tickets here!\n \n  \n“The film tracks the evolution of international law over the decades\, which eventually allowed authorities to make the case against people like Groening\, hiding in plain sight for 70 years.” – Bruce DeMara\, TORONTO STAR \n“Despite the film’s 78-minute duration\, The Accountant of Auschwitz finds time to take some fascinating detours.”                   – Chris Knight\, NATIONAL POST \n  \nOskar Gröning\, known as the “Accountant of Auschwitz\,” was charged with the murder of 300\,000 Jews. In 2015\, when he took the stand at the age of 94\, his trial made headlines worldwide. The debate around his prosecution is at the centre of this historic yet contemporary look at justice. As survivors travel to Germany to testify\, the heinous acts of the Holocaust remain vivid and traumatic. For some\, there is no grey area: Gröning was witness and therefore complicit\, regardless of his duty to follow orders. Others look at a frail man in the last years of his life and see no reason to pursue charges. The act of bringing war criminals to justice with no statute of limitations\, asks fundamental moral questions with few simple answers. From Nuremberg to the new alt-right\, The Accountant of Auschwitz constructs a stark reminder that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. \nNOMINATED –\nAudience Award – Top 20 Audience Favourites\, Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzwDqFPRSLo” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

Why move on at all? Are new beginnings possible elsewhere anyway? Everything changes when Georg falls in love with the mysterious Marie. Is it devotion or calculation that has led her to share her life with a doctor before journeying on in search of her husband? \n  \n1 Win and 7 Nominations: \nWon – Best Film\, Nuremburg Film Festival “Turkey-Germany”\, 2018\nNominated – Best Film\, Berlin International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Best Film\, Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema\, 2018\nNominated – Best Film\, Sydney Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOTZiS2erb4″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nThe Wife\nDirector: Björn Runge\nCast: Glenn Close\, Jonathan Pryce\, Christian Slater\, Max Irons and Elizabeth McGovern\nDrama | 14A for coarse language and mature theme | 100 min. | USA/United Kingdom/Sweden \n  \nSCREENING:\nMonday\, October 15 – 4:30 pm\nSunday\, October 21 – 3:15 pm \nGet your tickets here! \n  \n“The Wife offers viewers a chance to observe one of the finest – and most criminally under praised – actresses of her generation working at the very top of her shrewd\, subtle\, superbly self-controlled game.” – Ann Hornaday\, Washington Post \n“Glenn Close has one of cinema’s greatest faces. With one look she can tell you everything while revealing nothing.” – Erik Anderson\, AwardsWatch \n  \nAfter nearly forty years of marriage\, Joan and Joe Castleman (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) are complements. Where Joe is casual\, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain\, Joan is self-effacing. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as Great American Novelist\, Joan pours her considerable intellect\, grace\, charm\, and diplomacy into the private role of Great Man’s Wife. Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work. Joe’s literary star has blazed since he and Joan first met in the late 1950s. The Wife (based on the novel of the same name by Meg Wolitzer) interweaves the story of the couple’s youthful passion and ambition with a portrait of a marriage\, thirty-plus years later – a lifetime’s shared compromises\, secrets\, betrayals\, and mutual love. \n  \nNOMINATED – Film and Literature Award\, Film by the Sea International Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzCeD7T_Uq0″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

As you watch “Love\, Gilda\,” though\, it becomes clear that what made Gilda Radner special – and uproarious – was her spirit: open\, smiling\, generous\, euphoric.”– Owen Gleiberman\, VARIETY \n“To D’Apolito’s credit\, her film doesn’t dwell on the sadness. Rather\, it’s a celebration of a performer who revolutionized comedy and inspired future generations.” – Al Alexander\, THE PATRIOT LEDGER \nLove\, Gilda opens a unique window into the honest and whimsical world of beloved performer Gilda Radner\, whose greatest role was sharing her story. Working with the Radner estate\, D’Apolito unearthed a collection of diaries and personal audio and videotapes documenting her childhood\, her comedy career\, her relationships and ultimately\, her struggles with cancer. These never-before-seen-or-heard footage and journal entries form the narrative spine of the documentary\, allowing Gilda to tell her own story – through laughter and sometimes tears. \n  \nWON – Audience Award – U.S. Documentary\, Cinetopia Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2wuC2IWXnU” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]
