SUMMARY:The Insult - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third ] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nThe Insult (L’insulte)\nScreening: Thursday\, June 21\, 2018 – 4 pm\, 7 pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nCo-written and Directed by: Ziad Doueiri\nCast: Kamel El Basha\, Adel Karam\, Rita Hayek\, Camille Salameh\, Diamand Abou Abboud\, Carlos Chahine\nDrama/Thriller\, 14A for coarse language and some violent images\, 112 minutes\, Language: Arabic with English subtitles\n(Lebanon/Belgium/Cyprus/France/USA) \n  \n[btnsx id=”4389″] \n  \n \n\n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n“A powerful and impeccably crafted tale arguing for the crucial importance of addressing history and facing down trauma… Doueiri weaves a starkly intimate fable of violence that’s at once deeply personal and universally\, globally relevant.”  – Katie Walsh\, Tribune News Service \n  \n“… eloquently portrays not only the galloping dehumanization that the world is living through\, but above all its… deep contempt for the most basic human values ​​that inhabit the world’s geopolitics…”  – Toni Vall\, CINEMANIA \n  \n  \n  \nThe latest feature from Ziad Doueiri centres on a dispute between two men on the streets of Beirut that suddenly becomes a national sensation when it opens up old wounds and traumatic memories. One afternoon in the dog days of a Beirut summer\, Tony (Adel Karam) gets into an altercation with Yasser over a broken drainpipe. Tony is a mechanic and a Christian; Yasser is a construction foreman and a Palestinian. When Tony\, hard-nosed and hot-headed\, refuses to accept Yasser’s half-hearted apology\, two bruised male egos begin to swell. Tony utters an unforgiveable insult to Yasser. 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. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards\, The Insult is an impeccably made political drama\, layered with clever observations on the complex history of the region as seen through the intimate mechanisms of an interpersonal misunderstanding. \n  \n7 Awards\, 14 Nominations: \nNominated\, Best Foreign Language Film of the Year\, Academy Awards\, USA\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award/World Cinema\, AFI FEST\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Feature Film\, Boulder International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Lebanese Motion Picture/Best Ensemble Cast in a Lebanese Motion Picture\, The Lebanese Movie Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Actor (Kamel El Basha) Venice Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/248454124″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Foxtrot - 7PM

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. Maoz once again brings us a powerful story\, beautifully photographed and composed\, about the lunacy of war\, and its most immediate\, as well as its most far-reaching impacts. \n  \n16 Awards\, 14 Nominations: \nNominee\, Best Film\, Asia Pacific Screen Awards\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Director\, Athens International Film Festival\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Film\, Best Director\, Best Actor (Lior Ashkenazi)\, Best Cinematography\, Best Cinematography\, Awards of the Israeli Film Academy\, 2017\nWinner\, Capri Foreign Language Film\, Capri\, Hollywood\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Foreign Language Film\, National Board of Review\, USA\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Film\, Venice Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQmQ7aORAQU” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \n \n[/col_one]

His latest — and last — gig is a hell of a fête\, involving stuffy period costumes for the caterers\, a vain\, hyper sensitive singer who thinks he’s a Gallic James Brown\, and a morose\, micro-managing groom determined to make Max’s night as miserable as possible. But what makes the affair too bitter to endure is that Max’s colleague and ostensible girlfriend\, Joisette (Suzanne Clément; Mommy\, Laurence Anyways)\, seems to have written him off\, coolly going about her professional duties while openly flirting with a much younger server. It’s going to be a very long night… especially once the groom’s aerial serenade gets underway. An ensemble work brimming with offbeat\, lovable characters\, and hilarious set pieces\, C’est la vie! is a fiendishly smart\, sprawling comedy as only the French do it. You will be laughing all the way down the aisle. \n  \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErV26mIdEvU” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \n \n[/col_one]
