SUMMARY:Sing Street - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:Sing Street\n \nScreening: Thursday\, June 2\, 2016 – 4pm\nWritten and Directed by: John Carney\nCast: Jack Reynor\, Maria Doyle-Kennedy\, Ferdia Walsh-Peelo\, Lucy Boynton and Aidan Gillen \nDrama/Musical\, 14A thematic elements including strong language and some bullying behavior\, a suggestive image\, drug material and teen smoking\, 105 minutes (Ireland/UK/USA) \n  \n“Few films are ever as enjoyable and endearing as Sing Street. From its five-star cast to its unforgettable soundtrack\, Carney’s latest musical masterpiece dances around with a jovial charm that’s addicting and innocent enough to revisit again and again.” – Michael Roffman\, Consequence of Sound \nFrom director John Carney (Once\, Begin Again)\, SING STREET takes us back to 1980s Dublin seen through the eyes of a 14-year-old boy named Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo). He is looking for a break from a home strained by his parents’ relationship and money troubles\, while trying to adjust to his new inner-city public school where the kids are rough and the teachers are rougher. He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious\, über-cool and beautiful Raphina (Lucy Boynton)\, and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band’s music videos. There’s only one problem: he’s not part of a band… yet. She agrees\, and now Conor must deliver what he’s promised – calling himself “Cosmo” and immersing himself in the vibrant rock music trends of the decade\, he forms a band with a few lads\, and the group pours their hearts into writing lyrics and shooting videos. Inspired by writer/director John Carney’s life and love for music\, SING STREET shows us a world where music has the power to take us away from the turmoil of everyday life and transform us into something greater. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfVskED-N0c” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nTickets: Adults $10\, Senior/Student $8 \nAdvance tickets are available one week before screening at Uptown Theatre box office (evenings) and the MacLaren Art Centre front desk (during gallery hours). Tickets will also be available on the day of screening at Uptown box office an hour before screening start time. Subject to availability.

It’s all the more powerful for its subtlety.” – Liz Braun\, Toronto Sun \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n \nIt’s just another day on the job for a band of badass war zone rescue workers as they defy death and confront war’s absurdities.

Through it all\, the group handles the less-than-glamorous realities of life in a combat zone the only way they know how: with selfless bravery and a healthy dose of irreverent humour. \nAwards: \nNominated\, Best Film\, Director\, Actor (Del Toro)\, Adapted Screenplay\, Cinematography and Editing\, Cinema Writers Circle Awards\, Spain\, 2016\nWon\, Best Adapted Screenplay and Nominated\, Best Supporting Actor (Robbins)\, Director\, Feroz Awards\, 2016\nWon\, Best Adapted Screenplay and Nominated Best Supporting Actor (Robbins)\, Director\, Editing\, Cinematography\, Goya Awards\, 2016\nNominated\, Art Cinema Award\, Hamburg Film Festival\, 2015\nNominated\, People’s Choice Award\, Best Narrative Feature\, Melbourne International Film Festival\, 2015 \n  \nSponsored by: \n \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gCTcnlo7UU” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]

SUMMARY:Anomalisa - 8PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nAnomalisa\nScreening: Thursday\, March 17\, 2016 – 8pm\nTickets: Adults $10\, Senior/Senior $8\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop Street West\, Barrie\nWritten by: Charlie Kauffman\nDirected by: Charlie Kauffman and Duke Johnson\nVoice talents: David Thewlis\, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tom Noonan \nAnimated Comedy-Drama\, PLEASE NOTE: THIS FILM IS RATED “18A” for sexual content\, nudity\, and coarse language\, it is NOT appropriate for young or sensitive viewers. 90 minutes (USA) \n“Kaufman and Johnson’s film is a heart-stopping masterpiece of emotional malaise and disconnection\, vividly surreal and achingly real at the same time.”  – Daniel Barnes\, Sacramento News & Review \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n \nMichael Stone (David Thewlis) is a successful motivational speaker with fans across the country\, but inside him sits a knot of anxiety that renders much of his daily life meaningless. Everything and everyone just seems the same to him. But then Michael meets Lisa (Jennifer Jason Leigh) on a speaking-tour stop in Cincinnati. Lisa is an anomaly. Michael and Lisa begin with prickly\, cautious conversations and then move towards love. But\, unlike in a conventional Hollywood romance\, that romantic arc is neither simple nor obvious. The love scene at the heart of Anomalisa should instantly rocket up the list of cinema’s greatest. It’s intimate\, awkward\, heartbreaking\, and deeply erotic despite the fact that the lovers are made of felt. Returning to the themes of human connection and artistic creation that ran through his feature directorial debut\, Synecdoche\, New York\, as well as his screenplays for Being John Malkovich\, Adaptation\, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\, Kaufman delivers an even more insightful rumination on love here\, one that finds its perfect expression in the fragility of the film team’s stop-motion figures. This is a beautiful\, one-of-a-kind romance. – Cameron Bailey\, TIFF 2015 \n  \nAwards: \nNominated\, Best Animated Feature Film of the Year\, Academy Awards\, 2016\nNominated Best Motion Picture-Animated\, Golden Globes 2016\nWon\, Best Dipiction of Nudity\, Sexuality or Seduction\, Alliance of Women Film Journalists\, 2016\nWon\, Best Animated Film\, Boston Society of Film Critics Awards\, 2015\nNominated\, Best Feature/Best Director/Best Screenplay/Best Supporting Female\, Independent Spirit Awards\, 2016\nWon\, Creative Impact in Direction Award (Charlie Kauffman) Palm Springs International Film Festival\, 2016\nWon\, Best Screenplay\, Vancouver Film Critics Circle\, 2016\nWon\, Future Film Festival Digital Award & Grand Special Jury Prize\, Venice Film Festival\, 2015 \n  \nSponsored by: \n \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQkHA3fHk_0″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]

SUMMARY:TRUMBO - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:SCREENING: Sunday\, February 7\, 4:00 pm \nDirected by: Jay Roach\nCast: Bryan Cranston\, Helen Mirren\, Diane Lane\, Louis C.K. and John Goodman\nBiography/Drama\, Rated 14A for coarse language including some sexual references\, 124 minutes (USA) \n  \nBryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) stars as prolific and embattled screenwriter Dalton Trumbo in this insightful and stirring drama about one of the most controversial chapters in Hollywood history. The author of scripts for such films as Kitty Foyle\, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo\, and Our Vines Have Tender Grapes\, Dalton Trumbo was among the highest paid scenarists of his time until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. Trumbo recounts how Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice of the blacklist\, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne\, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. \n  \nSponsored by: \n \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLuxQhdUqLY” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]
