After wreaking havoc in the elf community due to his size\, Buddy heads to New York City to find his place in the world\, and track down his father. But life in the big city is not all sugarplums and candy canes. His father is a “Scrooge” and his eight-year-old stepbrother doesn’t believe in Santa. Even the snowmen aren’t friendly in New York.

SUMMARY:The Death of Stalin - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one] \n \n[col_two_thirds ] \nThe Death of Stalin\n\nScreening: Thursday\, July 19\, 2018 – 4pm\, 7pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \nCo-written and Directed by: Armando Iannucci\nCast: Steve Buscemi\, Simon Russell Beale\, Paddy Considine\, Rupert Friend\, Jason Isaacs\, Michael Palin\, Andrea Riseborough\, Jeffrey Tambour\, Olga Kurylenko\nDark Comedy/Satire\, 14A for coarse language\, disturbing content\, sexual references\, 107 minutes\, (UK/France/Canada/Belgium/USA) \n  \n[btnsx id=”4469″] \n  \n“There is one thing that power can’t stand\, and that is to be mocked: The social importance of this topical romp should not be underestimated.” – Kate Taylor\, Globe and Mail \n  \n“From start to finish\, director/co-writer Armando Iannucci (creator of HBO’s brilliant Veep) delivers an audacious and insightful and ridiculous and hilarious send-up that reminded me of the classic Monty Python films of the 1970s and 1980s.” – Richard Roeper\, Chicago Sun-Times \n  \n“It never asks us to laugh at cruelty; it does make us laugh at the absurd pettiness and ultimate small-mindedness of the men perpetrating that cruelty. And Iannucci is a superb ringmaster.” – Glenn Kenny\, RogerEbert.com \n  \n  \nThe one-liners fly as fast as political fortunes fall in this uproarious\, wickedly irreverent satire from Armando Iannucci (Veep\, In the Loop). Moscow\, 1953: when tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead\, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to be the next Soviet leader. Among the contenders are the dweeby Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor)\, the wily Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi)\, and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria (Simon Russell Beale). But as they bumble\, brawl\, and backstab their way to the top\, just who is running the government? Combining palace intrigue with rapid-fire farce\, this audacious comedy is a bitingly funny takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed to the hilt by a sparkling ensemble cast. A feature adaptation of Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin’s acclaimed graphic novel. \n  \nAwards: 18 Nominations\, 11 Wins\nNominated – Best Screenplay\, Outstanding British Film of the Year\, BAFTA Awards\, 2018\nWon – Best Comedy\, Empire Awards\, UK\, 2018\nWon – Best Supporting Actor\, Evening Standard British Film Awards\, 2018\nWon – Jury Prize – Best Director\, Monte-Carlo Comedy Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Best Supporting Actor\, Casting\, Make up & Hair Design\, Production Design\, British Independent Film Awards\, 2017\nWon – Best Original Score for a Comedy Film\, International Film Music Critics Award\, 2017\nWon – FIPRESCI Prize\, Armando Iannucci\, Torino Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated – Platform Prize\, Armando Iannucci\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiJ-0cjMD60″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n\nProgram is Sponsored by: \n \n[/col_one]

With a speed neither man could foresee\, their personal argument escalates through the neighbourhood and the city to the national stage. The dispute comes to encapsulate the lasting legacy of the Lebanese Civil War — and becomes a lightning rod for people with more power than either man to pursue their own agendas.

SUMMARY:Foxtrot - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third ] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nFoxtrot\n\nScreening: Thursday\, May 17\, 2018 – 4pm\, 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nWritten and Directed by: Samuel Maoz\nCast: Lior Ashkenazi\, Sarah Adler\, Yonaton Shiray  and Shira Haas\nDrama\, 14A for some sexual content\, substance abuse and language\, 113 min.\, Hebrew with English subtitles (Israel/Switzerland/Germany/France) \n  \n\n[btnsx id=”4205″]\n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n“Brilliantly constructed with a visual audacity that serves the subject rather than the other way around\, this is award-winning filmmaking on a fearless level.” – Jay Weissberg\, VARIETY \n“It’s a superior piece of cinema.” – David Sims\, THE ATLANTIC \n  \n  \nSamuel Maoz’s debut feature\, Lebanon (winner of the Golden Lion at the 2009 Venice Film Festival)\, was set during the 1982 Lebanon War\, and shot almost entirely inside of a tank. Foxtrot steps away from that fevered claustrophobia to tell another maddening story of war and conflict\, but this one on a much broader canvas. Michael (Lior Ashkenazi) and Dafna (Sarah Adler) experience gut-wrenching grief when army officials show up at their home to announce the death of their son\, Jonathan. Unable to find any solace in the well-meaning — if hollowly effusive — condolences of their extended family\, or in the empty patriotic platitudes of bureaucrats\, Michael spirals into anger only to subsequently experience one of life’s unfathomable twists — a twist that can only be rivaled by the surreal military experiences of his son. This film examines both the strength and the absurdity of military service from several points of view. Moving from the grieving parents’ apartment to the remote military post where Jonathan was stationed\, Maoz shows us precisely how much damage can ensue when young soldiers\, barely able to tell their toe from a trigger\, experience boredom\, privation\, and loneliness. Although there is a terrible tragedy at the heart of the film\, containing many moments laced with mordant humour\, irony\, and sincere emotional connection.

SUMMARY:Foxtrot - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third ] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nFoxtrot\n\nScreening: Thursday\, May 17\, 2018 – 4pm\, 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nWritten and Directed by: Samuel Maoz\nCast: Lior Ashkenazi\, Sarah Adler\, Yonaton Shiray  and Shira Haas\nDrama\, 14A for some sexual content\, substance abuse and language\, 113 min.\, Hebrew with English subtitles (Israel/Switzerland/Germany/France) \n  \n\n[btnsx id=”4205″]\n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n“Brilliantly constructed with a visual audacity that serves the subject rather than the other way around\, this is award-winning filmmaking on a fearless level.” – Jay Weissberg\, VARIETY \n“It’s a superior piece of cinema.” – David Sims\, THE ATLANTIC \n  \n  \nSamuel Maoz’s debut feature\, Lebanon (winner of the Golden Lion at the 2009 Venice Film Festival)\, was set during the 1982 Lebanon War\, and shot almost entirely inside of a tank. Foxtrot steps away from that fevered claustrophobia to tell another maddening story of war and conflict\, but this one on a much broader canvas. Michael (Lior Ashkenazi) and Dafna (Sarah Adler) experience gut-wrenching grief when army officials show up at their home to announce the death of their son\, Jonathan. Unable to find any solace in the well-meaning — if hollowly effusive — condolences of their extended family\, or in the empty patriotic platitudes of bureaucrats\, Michael spirals into anger only to subsequently experience one of life’s unfathomable twists — a twist that can only be rivaled by the surreal military experiences of his son. This film examines both the strength and the absurdity of military service from several points of view. Moving from the grieving parents’ apartment to the remote military post where Jonathan was stationed\, Maoz shows us precisely how much damage can ensue when young soldiers\, barely able to tell their toe from a trigger\, experience boredom\, privation\, and loneliness. Although there is a terrible tragedy at the heart of the film\, containing many moments laced with mordant humour\, irony\, and sincere emotional connection.
