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]

An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse\, who spends his days enforcing block association rules that only he cares about\, and visiting his wife’s grave\, Ove has given up on life. Enter a boisterous young family next door who accidentally flattens Ove’s mailbox while moving in and earning his special brand of ire. Yet from this inauspicious beginning an unlikely friendship forms and we come to understand Ove’s past happiness and heartbreaks. What emerges is a heartwarming tale. \nAwards: \nNominated\, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling\, Academy Awards\, 2017\nWon\, European Comedy\, European Film Awards\, 2016\nWon\, Audience Award\, Cabourg Romantic Film Festival\, 2016\n2nd place\, Audience Award\, Edinburgh International Film Festival\, 2016\nWon\, Audience Award\, Mill Valley Film Festival\, 2016\n3rd Place Best Film\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2016\nWon\, Best Actor\, Rolf Lassgård\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2016\nWon\, Audience Award\, Traverse City Film Festival\, 2016 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPoaN2XROk8″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n\nSponsored By:

SUMMARY:Paterson - 8PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one] \n \nScreening: Thursday\, March 16\, 2017 – 8:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nWritten and Directed by: Jim Jarmusch\nCast: Adam Driver\, Golshifteh Farahani\, Rizwan Manji\, Nellie\nComedy/Drama\, 14A for some coarse language\, 118 minutes\n(USA/Germany/France) \n  \n[btnsx id=”2789″] \n  \n“A lovely fable about the fragile\, fruitful and occasionally fraught relationship between creativity and everyday life.” – Geoff Andrew\, Time Out \n“An amazing little film that makes of simplicity its emblema so we can fall in love with its protagonist and the rest of the characters.” – Mikel Zorrilla\, Blog de cine \n  \nPaterson is a bus driver in the city of Paterson\, New Jersey – they share the name. Every day\, Paterson adheres to a simple routine: he drives his daily route\, observing the city as it drifts across his windshield and overhearing fragments of conversation swirling around him; he writes poetry into a notebook; he walks his dog; he stops in a bar and drinks exactly one beer; he goes home to his wife\, Laura. By contrast\, Laura’s world is ever changing. New dreams come to her almost daily. Paterson loves Laura and she loves him. He supports her newfound ambitions; she champions his gift for poetry. The film quietly observes the triumphs and defeats of daily life\, along with the poetry evident in its smallest of details. \nAwards:\nWon\, Best Actor (Adam Driver)\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2016\nWon\, Palm Dog (Nellie)\, Nominated Palme d’Or\, Cannes Film Festival\, 2016\nNominated\, Best Actor (Adam Driver) Chicago Film Critics Association Awards\, 2016\nNominated\, Audience Award\, Gotham Awards\, 2016\nWon\, Best Actor (Adam Driver) Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards\, 2016 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajqIuoXCvCU” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n\nEvery third Thursday of the month join us for Dinner & Movie night! This is an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful film at Uptown Theatre as well as a special menu offered by an amazing participating Restaurant. The two screening times – 4pm and 8pm will allow you plenty of time to enjoy a meal either after or before the show. This program will cater to two great tastes: that of a fine meal or stellar film. We recommend the delectable pairing of both dinner and movie\, but of course the option is there to just go to the restaurant or the theatre. The choice is yours. \nFilm tickets and meals are sold separately. \nFilm tickets: $10 for Adults\, $8 for Seniors/Students \nAdvance tickets are available online or two weeks before each screening at the Uptown Theatre box office (in the evenings an hour before their first screening). HST is included in the ticket price. \n\nProgram is Sponsored by:

When no police or ambulance arrive he drives the victim to the hospital\, checks him in and finds himself liable for the man’s medical bills.

SUMMARY:My Scientology Movie - 8PM
DESCRIPTION:My Scientology Movie – Buy Tickets Now!\nSunday\, February 5 – 8:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nCo-written and Directed by: John Dower
Documentary\, 14A\, 99 min. (UK/USA)\nNot your typical exposé. BBC doc-maker and journalist Louis Theroux teams up with director John Dower and double Academy Award winning producer Simon Chinn (Searching for Sugar Man\, Man On Wire) to explore the self-mythologizing Church of Scientology. Following a long fascination with the religion\, the beguilingly unassuming Theroux won’t take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church’s headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church’s use of filming techniques\, and aided by ex-members of the organization\, Theroux uses actors to replay some incidents people claim they experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. In a bizarre twist\, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux. Suffused with a good dose of humour and moments worthy of a Hollywood script\, My Scientology Movie is as outlandish as it is revealing. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-9qUjE40wM” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]

SUMMARY:How To Build A Time Machine - 6PM
DESCRIPTION:How To Build A Time Machine – Buy Tickets Now!\nSunday\, February 5 – 6:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nWritten and Directed by: Jay Cheel\nDocumentary\, G\, 82 min. (Canada) \nHow to Build a Time Machine follows two men as they set out on a journey to build their own time machines. Rob Niosi is a stop motion animator who has spent the last 13 years obsessively constructing a full-scale replica of the time machine prop from the 1960 adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine. It’s his attempt to recapture the memory of seeing the film in theatres with his father. Dr. Ron Mallett is a theoretical physicist whose story begins with a tragedy. He was only 10 years old when his father died suddenly of a heart attack. Distraught\, he sought solace in science-fiction. After reading The Time Machine\, Ron dedicated his life to studying physics. He has since become a professor at the University of Connecticut and is now working on building a real time machine in the hopes that he might go back in time to save his father’s life. \nThrough these stories\, we will investigate our fascination with time travel and attempt to figure out what’s so appealing about reliving the past and foreseeing the future. We will also look at the power of cinema and the ways in which science fiction storytelling has inspired real life scientific breakthroughs. \n\n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnryd_zAhzc” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]

SUMMARY:Fire At Sea - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:Nominated for a 2017 Academy Award in the Best Documentary Feature Category!\n\n \nFire At Sea (Fuocoammare) – Buy Tickets Now!\nSaturday\, February 4 – 4:00 pm\nWritten and Directed by: Gianfranco Rosi\nDocumentary\, PG for mature theme\, 108 min. Language: Italian with English subtitles (Italy/France)\nWinner of the Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival 2016\, Gianfranco Rosi’s incisive\, poignant and deeply moving portrait of the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa – and the humanitarian crisis occurring in the seas around it – is both a masterly work of documentary filmmaking and a timely call for urgent action. Situated 150 miles south of Sicily\, Lampedusa has hit headlines as the first port of call for hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Eastern refugees hoping to make a new life in Europe. Focusing on 12-year-old Samuele\, as he explores the land and attempts to gain mastery of the sea\, the film slowly builds a breathtakingly naturalistic portrait of the Lampedusan people and the events that surround them. The result is a lyrical\, poetic and searingly powerful documentary that casts neither judgement nor aspersions\, but simply shows the world to the viewer – to utterly devastating effect. \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/183763132″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nAwards:\nWon\, Amnesty International Film Prize\, Berlin International Film Festival\, 2016\nWon\, Golden Berlin Bear\, Berlin International Film Festival\, 2016\nNominated\, Best Documentary Critics Choice Documentary Awards\, 2016\nWon\, Best European Documentary\, European Film Awards\, 2016\nWon\, Best Cinematography\, International Documentary Association\, 2016\nWon\, Best Editing\, Golden Ciak Awards\, 2016\nWon\, Special Silver Ribbon\, Documentary\, Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists\, 2016\nWon\, Cinema Eye Honors Award\, Cinema Eye Honors Awards\, US\, 2017
