When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s sheep\, all the animals in the area are culled to contain the outbreak\, with many farmers abandoning their land. But the brothers don’t give up so easily – and each tries to stave off the disaster in his own fashion: Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits. As the authorities close in\, they will need to come together to save the special breed passed down for generations\, and themselves\, from extinction. \n  \nAwards:  \nWon\, Main Competition\, Silver Frog\, Camerimage\, 2015\nWon\, Un Certain Regard Award\, Cannes International Film Festival\, 2015\nWon\, Best Feature Film\, Denver International Film Festival\, 2015\nWon\, Golden Starfish Award\, Narrative Feature\, Hamptons International Film Festival\, 2015\nWon\, Best Actor (Sigurður Sigurjónsson)\, Palic Film Festival\, 2015\nWon\, Audience Award and Special Jury Award\, Transilvania International Film Festival\, 2015\nWon\, Best Actor\, Palm Springs International Film Festival\, 2016\nWon\, Golden Eye\, Best International Feature Film\, Zurich Film Festival\, 2015\nWon\, Best Film\, Director\, Actor and Supporting Actor of the Year\, Edda Awards\, Iceland\, 2016\nNominated\, European Film Awards\, 2015 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d–beDPTww” 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).

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.

SUMMARY:Anomalisa - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nAnomalisa\nScreening: Thursday\, March 17\, 2016 – 4pm\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.

SUMMARY:LIFE - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:SCREENING: Saturday\, February 6\, 4:00 pm \nDirected by: Anton Corbijn\nCast: Dane DeHaan\, Robert Pattinson\, Lauren Gallagher Peter\, Joel Edgerton and Sir Ben Kingsley\nBiography/Drama\, Rated 14A for some sexuality/nudity and language\, 111 min. (UK/USA/Germany/Canada/Australia) \n  \nThis drama tells the story of photographer Dennis Stock (Robert Pattinson) who convinced a rebellious young actor on the cusp of stardom\, James Dean (Dane DeHaan)\, to allow him to shoot him for LIFE Magazine. While Stock thinks he’s capturing a star in the moment before he breaks; in fact\, he’s documenting Dean’s last moments of intimacy and simplicity. In the process of the journey from Hollywood to New York to Indiana\, a deep affection and improbable friendship gradually develops between the two young men. The photography from that 1955 trip permanently fixed the image of James Dean\, producing iconic images of a new breed of film star and heralded the emerging youth culture. \n  \nSponsored by: \n \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN4iCE7oZ-Q” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]
