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]

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:

I Called Him Morgan has it all – the notes and the silence\, plus the music of spoken language\, pitched in rueful tones of recollection.” – Joe Morgenstern\, Wall Street Journal \n“I Called Him Morgan” works as a jazz documentary as well as a bizarre true crime tale about a mysterious crime of passion. All these years later\, many questions remain.” – Adam Graham\, Detroit News \n  \nOn a snowy night in February 1972\, celebrated jazz musician Lee Morgan was shot dead by his wife Helen during a gig at a club in New York City.

A film about love\, jazz and America with cinematography by Bradford Young. \nAwards: \nNominated\, Best Music Supervision for a Documentary\, Guild of Music Supervisors Awards\, 2017\nWon\, Best Local Feature/Nominated\, Best Documentary\, Philadelphia Film Festival\, 2016\nNominated\, Best Documentary\, Stockholm Film Festival\, 2016 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxLByThNvWU” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n\nIn partnership with:

SUMMARY:My American Cousin - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:[fullwidth ] \n[col_one_third ] \nCanada On Screen | National Canadian Film Day 150\n[col_one] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nMy American Cousin\nScreening: Wednesday\, April 19\, 2017 – 7:00 pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nAdmission: FREE\nWritten and Directed by: Sandy Wilson\nComedy/Drama\, PG for adult situation and language\, 94 minutes\n(CANADA) \n“The film works a gentle spell around its viewer\, and ends up leaving an unexpected lasting impression.” – Dustin Putnam TheFilmFile.com \nNow a classic of our national cinema\, writer-director Sandy Wilson’s charming film à clef is both an affecting coming-of-age tale and a witty meditation on Canadian-American cultural tensions. Sandy Wilcox (Margaret Langrick) is a preteen growing up in the 1950s in B.C.’s Okanagan\, where she’s bored (“Nothing ever happens!”) and also tired of being treated like a child. Everything changes with the arrival of Butch (John Wildman)\, her dreamy\, red-convertible-driving cousin from California\, who seems to embody everything exciting Sandy’s been longing for. My American Cousin was a popular hit at home and abroad\, and won six Genie Awards — for Best Picture\, Director\, Screenplay\, Actress (Langrick)\, Actor (Wildman)\, and Editing (Haida Paul). Arriving on the heels of The Grey Fox\, it also solidified B.C.’s ascendance as an important filmmaking centre — and was a rallying cry for women in film everywhere! \n \nTickets are FREE and will be available at the Uptown Theatre box office April 19th starting at 6:00 pm\, on a first come first serve basis. \n\nSupported by: \n           \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[/fullwidth]
