SUMMARY:Tommy's Honour - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:  \n[fullwidth ] \n[col_one ] \n \nTommy’s Honour\nThursday\, October 5\, 2017 – 4:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nDirector: Jason Connery\nCast: Jack Lowden\, Peter Mullen\, Ophelia Lovibond\, Sam Neill\nDrama\, PG – mature theme\, language may offend\, 112 minutes\n(United Kingdom/USA) \n  \n[btnsx id=”3355″] \n  \n“With its rugged landscapes\, handsome production design and\, especially\, the very appealing work of leads Peter Mullen and Jack Lowden\, Tommy’s Honour is an ingratiating production all-round.” – Godfrey Cheshire\, RogerEbert.com \n  \nTOMMY’S HONOUR is based on the powerfully moving true story of the challenging relationship between “Old” Tom and “Young” Tommy Morris\, the dynamic father-son team who ushered in the modern game of golf. As their fame grew\, Tom and Tommy\, Scotland’s Golf Royalty\, were touched by drama and personal tragedy. At first matching his father’s success\, Tommy’s talent and fame grew to outshine his father’s accomplishments and respect as founder of the Open Championship in 1860 with a series of his own triumphs. But in contrast to Tommy’s public persona\, his personal turmoil ultimately led him to rebel against both the aristocracy who gave him opportunity and the parents who shunned his passionate relationship with his wife. \n  \nAwards:\nWon\, Best Feature Film/Nominated Best Actor (Jack Lowden) BAFTA Awards\, Scotland\, 2016\nNominated\, Best British Feature Film\, Edinburgh International Film Festival\, 2016 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FcSe6TuE-8″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \n\n  \nSponsored By: \n \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth]

After losing their son on the front line during the Battle of France in 1940\, working-class couple Otto (Brendan Gleeson) and Anna (Emma Thompson) find themselves disillusioned with the Nazi regime and frustrated with the war effort. Feeling angry and betrayed by the Führer’s empty promises and the substantial toll of the war\, the couple decides to avenge their lost son by spreading doubt and discontent across the German capital. Their postcards\, distributed in high-traffic public places across the city\, transmit anti-Hitler slogans to their fellow citizens. Their small acts of defiance rattle loudly enough that young police inspector Escherich (Daniel Brühl) mounts a citywide hunt for the postcard-propaganda perpetrators. Gleeson and Thompson have a genuinely moving chemistry with each other\, honouring the bravery of the real-life couple on which the story is based. Alone in Berlin offers a peek into the life of Berliners under Nazi rule and serves as a testament to the importance of resistance\, big or small\, against a totalitarian regime. \n  \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsDdCKL4jQM” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nProgram is Sponsored by: \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:The Commune - 8PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening: Thursday\, July 20\, 2017 – 8:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nDirected by: Thomas Vinterberg\nCast: Trine Dyrholm\, Ulrich Thomsen and Helene Reingaard Neumann\nDrama\, 18A for mature thematics\, sexuality and some nudity\, 112 minutes\,\nDanish with English Subtitles (Denmark/Sweden/Netherlands) \n  \n[btnsx id=”3130″] \n  \nThe new film by lauded Danish director Thomas Vinterberg (“The Celebration\,” Oscar® nominated “The Hunt”) examines the fallout from the social upheavals of the 1970s through the microcosm of a Copenhagen commune. Anna (Trine Dyrholm\, who won Best Actress at the 2016 Berlinale for her performance) is a television newswoman; her husband\, Erik (Ulrich Thomsen)\, teaches architecture at a university\, but the grim reality of mentoring people whose career prospects are brighter than his own has left him disgruntled and bored. When Erik’s father passes away\, the couple must decide what to do with the huge house that Erik grew up in\, as it’s too expensive for them to occupy on their own. Erik prefers selling\, but Anna — who has become frustrated with Erik’s dour outlook and longs for something new — suggests that they use this opportunity to experiment with communal living (which was all the rage in Scandinavia at the time). Energized by the era’s relaxed taboos\, Anna and Erik assemble a diverse\, rather motley crew of cohabitants and embark on their adventure\, but soon take very different paths. Driven by brilliant lead performances from Vinterberg’s “Celebration” stars Thomsen and Dyrholm and supporting turns from Lars Ranthe and Fares Fares\, THE COMMUNE is a sharply observed study of how new values can quickly come into conflict with old habits and affiliations. \n  \n  \nAwards: \nWon\, Best Actress (Dyrholm)\, Berlin International Film Festival 2016\nWon\, Best Actress (Dyrholm)\, Bodil Awards 2017\nNominated\, Best Feature\, Chicago International Film Festival 2016\nNominated\, Narrative Feature Competition\, Montclair Film Festival (MFF) 2017 \n  \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL_swe-UIg8″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nProgram is Sponsored by: \n \n[/col_one]

DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening: Thursday\, July 20\, 2017 – 4:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nDirected by: Thomas Vinterberg\nCast: Trine Dyrholm\, Ulrich Thomsen and Helene Reingaard Neumann\nDrama\, 18A for mature thematics\, sexuality and some nudity\, 112 minutes\,\nDanish with English Subtitles (Denmark/Sweden/Netherlands) \n  \n[btnsx id=”3130″] \n  \nThe new film by lauded Danish director Thomas Vinterberg (“The Celebration\,” Oscar® nominated “The Hunt”) examines the fallout from the social upheavals of the 1970s through the microcosm of a Copenhagen commune. Anna (Trine Dyrholm\, who won Best Actress at the 2016 Berlinale for her performance) is a television newswoman; her husband\, Erik (Ulrich Thomsen)\, teaches architecture at a university\, but the grim reality of mentoring people whose career prospects are brighter than his own has left him disgruntled and bored. When Erik’s father passes away\, the couple must decide what to do with the huge house that Erik grew up in\, as it’s too expensive for them to occupy on their own. Erik prefers selling\, but Anna — who has become frustrated with Erik’s dour outlook and longs for something new — suggests that they use this opportunity to experiment with communal living (which was all the rage in Scandinavia at the time). Energized by the era’s relaxed taboos\, Anna and Erik assemble a diverse\, rather motley crew of cohabitants and embark on their adventure\, but soon take very different paths. Driven by brilliant lead performances from Vinterberg’s “Celebration” stars Thomsen and Dyrholm and supporting turns from Lars Ranthe and Fares Fares\, THE COMMUNE is a sharply observed study of how new values can quickly come into conflict with old habits and affiliations. \n  \n  \nAwards: \nWon\, Best Actress (Dyrholm)\, Berlin International Film Festival 2016\nWon\, Best Actress (Dyrholm)\, Bodil Awards 2017\nNominated\, Best Feature\, Chicago International Film Festival 2016\nNominated\, Narrative Feature Competition\, Montclair Film Festival (MFF) 2017 \n  \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL_swe-UIg8″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nProgram is Sponsored by: \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Their Finest - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening: July 6\, 2017 – 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nDirected by: Lone Scherfig\nPrinciple Cast: Bill Nighy\, Gemma Arterton\, Sam Claflin\, Eddie Marsan and Richard E. Grant\nComedy/Drama\, 14A for coarse language and sexual content\, 117 minutes (United Kingdom) \n  \n[btnsx id=”3046″] \n  \n  \n“Their Finest is the sort of crowd-pleaser that knows the difference between satisfying its viewers and flattering them\, all the while showcasing surprising performances from Gemma Arterton and Sam Claflin\, and an entirely unsurprising one from Bill Nighy — a master scene-stealer pulling off yet another brazen heist.” – Andrew Barker\, Variety  \n\n“Sherfig perfectly balances the comedic romance & period drama elements to make Their Finest a pleasantly entertaining watch.” – Matthew Pejkovic\, Matt’s Movie Reviews \n  \nA true favourite in the industry\, Lone Scherfig directs a sterling British cast in this period comedy-drama based on the novel\, Their Finest Hour and a Half\, by Lissa Evans about a group of filmmakers struggling to make an inspirational film to boost morale during the Blitz of London in World War II. Young screenwriter Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) is charged with bringing a female perspective to war films produced by the British Ministry of Information’s Film Division. Her current project is inspired by stories of British civilians rescuing soldiers after the retreat at Dunkirk. While on location in Devon\, Catrin begins to come into her own and earn the respect of her peers\, including the haughty veteran actor Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy). Their Finest pops with witty banter\, flows with exquisite period detail and functions as a positive affirmation of women in film thanks to a fine performance from Gemma Arterton and superb direction from Lone Scherfig. \n  \nAwards:\nWon\, Audience Award for Best Feature Film\, Göteborg Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyFYoM5Teg0″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n\n  \nSponsored By: \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Weirdos - 8PM
DESCRIPTION:Screening: Thursday\, June 15\, 2017 – 8:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nDirected by: Bruce McDonald\nWritten by: Daniel MacIvor\nCast: Julia Sarah Stone\, Dylan Authors\, Molly Parker\, Allan Hawco\nDrama\, 14A\, 89 minutes\, note: filmed in glorious Black & White (Canada) \n  \n[btnsx id=”2968″] \n  \n“one of Bruce McDonald’s sweetest films” – Toronto Star \n“It’s ultimately Stone who walks away with the picture. Adding an impatient clarity to the old-soul watchfulness she displayed in Wet Bum\, she slowly becomes Weirdos’ moral centre. And it’s something to see.” – Norm Wilner\, Now Magazine \n“What’s not to love about Canuck hipster Bruce McDonald’s return to a genre of which he’s a master – the indie road movie with a distinctly Canadian flavour and endearingly peculiar characters?” – Michael D. Reid\, Victoria Times Colonist\, British Columbia \n \nCanadian master Bruce McDonald teams with veteran playwright and screenwriter Daniel MacIvor for a coming-of-age road movie with the perfect blend of magic and naturalism. It’s July 1976\, and the USA is celebrating its bicentennial. But\, north of the border in the small Nova Scotian town of Antigonish it’s a weekend like any other\, which means not much is going on. Music-loving 15-year-old Kit (Dylan Authorsm) spends his time either alone in his room listening to Elton John albums\, or hanging out with his platonic girlfriend\, Alice (Julia Sarah Stone\, a 2014 TIFF Rising Star for her performance in Wet Bum). Like Kit\, Alice feels out of place\, and her divorced parents have too many issues of their own to offer much comfort. Craving a turning point in their lives\, the two decide to hitchhike to Sydney on Cape Breton Island to visit Kit’s glamorous but unstable mother\, Laura (Molly Parker) — a journey guided\, by a laconic Andy Warhol apparition (Rhys Bevan-John). Through their quest for something bigger and better — both on the road and at their destination — they’ll face some truths about themselves that will point the way to a more honest\, fully lived future. Accompanied by a suitably killer ’70s soundtrack\, and shot in softly sunlit black and white\, this film is grounded in its quiet and life-affirming moments; the film’s offbeat sense of humour arises organically from the differences in the ways its characters express their love. These sweet weirdos are temporarily lost\, but they’re about to help each other find out where they’re headed. \nAwards:\nNominated\, Generation 14plus BEST FILM\, Berlin International Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated\, Performance by an Actress in Supporting Role (Molly Parker)\, Canadian Screen Awards\, CA\, 2017\nNominated\, Performance by an Actress in Supporting Role (Molly Parker)\, Vancouver Film Critics Circle\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp_QReG6D18″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nProgram is Sponsored by:
