SUMMARY:MY INTERNSHIP IN CANADA - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one] \n[col_one_third] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nMy Internship in Canada\n(Guibord s’en va-t-en guerre) \nScreening: Thursday\, December 17\, 2015 – 4pm\nTickets: Adults $10\, Senior/Senior $8\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop Street West\, Barrie\nWritten and Directed by: Philippe Falardeau\nCast: Patrick Huard\, Suzanne Clément and Irdens Exantus \nComedy\, PG\, 108 minutes\, French with English Subtitles (CANADA) \n“The performances are lived-in and the tone is refreshingly light. A genuine crowd-pleaser\, no matter what colour that sign on your lawn might be.” – Barry Hertz\, The Globe and Mail \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n \nIn this satirical look at the vagaries of Canadian politics from Academy Award nominee and Film Circuit favourite Philippe Falardeau (The Good Lie\, Monsieur Lazhar\, C’est pas moi\, je le jure!)\, a Member of Parliament finds himself thrust suddenly into the spotlight\, and it’s up to his young Haitian intern to help the hapless backbencher navigate the complexities and pitfalls of Parliament Hill. A Conservative minority government trying to pass a bill that will enable them to go to war suffers a setback when one of the Tory MPs falls ill — leaving the key vote for the government’s warmongering initiative in the hands of independent MP Steve Guibord (Patrick Huard\, Starbuck\, Bon Cop Bad Cop)\, a former hockey player whose pro career fizzled. Not only a witty and incisive portrait of wheeling and dealing in Ottawa\, My Internship in Canada also exposes Canadians’ tendency to focus on the regional and specific at the expense of the wider picture. As Falardeau’s gently skewering satire demonstrates\, sometimes it takes a person from another country to explain to us the workings – and the value – of the unique system that makes our democracy (sometimes) function. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/118915568″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n\nContact the following sponsoring restaurants to make your reservation and inquire about their special Barrie Film Festival Dinner & Movie Menu! \n[/col_one] \n[fullwidth] \n[col_one_fourth] \nGroovy Tuesdays Bistro \nProviding a Prix Fixe Menu\, 3 courses for $35 ea. \n705-721-0302 \n[/col_one_fourth] \n[col_one_fourth] \nThe North Restaurant \nProviding a Prix Fixe Menu\, 3 courses for $35 ea. \n705-812-2192 \n[/col_one_fourth] \n[col_one_fourth] \n[/col_one_fourth] \n[col_one_fourth] \n[/col_one_fourth] \n[/fullwidth] \n[fullwidth id=”dinnersponsor” ] \n[col_one_fourth ] \n \n[/col_one_fourth] \n[col_one_fourth ] \n \n[/col_one_fourth] \n[col_one_fourth ] \n[/col_one_fourth] \n[col_one_fourth ] \n[/col_one_fourth] \n[/fullwidth]

SUMMARY:COMING HOME - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:[fullwidth ] \n[col_one_third ] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nComing Home\nScreening:\nNovember 5\, 2015 – 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop Street West\, Barrie \nDirected by: Zhang Yimou\nCast: Gong Li\, Chen Daoming and Zhang HuiwenDrama\, PG for mature themes\, 109 minutes\, Mandarin with English subtitles (China) \n“Emotionally Powerful. Richly Nuanced.” – Didi Kirsten Tatlow\, THE NEW YORK TIMES\n \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \nIn the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution\, an amnesiac woman struggles to regain her memory and reconnect with her long-imprisoned husband\, in this enthralling and emotional drama from Chinese master Zhang Yimou (Raise the Red Lantern\, Hero). Feng Wanyu (played by superstar  Gong Li) is a teacher whose husband\, Lu Yanshi (Chen Daoming) falls afoul of the authorities in the early 1970s. He’s sent away for “re-education\,” leaving Feng alone with their only daughter\, a spoiled ballet student named Dandan (Zhang Huiwen). When Lu escapes and attempts to make his way home\, Dandan – who had been denied the leading role in a new production due to her father’s branding as an ideological outcast – commits a heartbreaking betrayal. Re-teaming with Zhang after their celebrated collaborations on such classics as Red Sorghum\, Ju Dou\, and Raise the Red Lantern\, the luminous Gong expands her remarkable range even further with her performance as a woman pushed to the brink of mental collapse. For his part\, Zhang masterfully balances intimate drama and political allegory within his deceptively simple story\, demonstrating once again that his creative fire remains undiminished. \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr8iHhtxWqs” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n\nSponsored By: \n \n[/col_one] \n[/fullwidth] \n[fullwidth ] \n[col_one ] \nTickets: Adults $10\, Seniors/Students $8\n(prices include HST) \nAdvance tickets available two weeks before each screening at Uptown theatre and MacLaren Art Centre\, or day of screening.

NOTE: this is NOT a family film and not suggested for young or sensitive viewers / Hungarian with English subtitles / 119 min. \nWinner of the Un Certain Regard Prize at the 2014 Cannes Festival\, Kornel Mundruczó’s newest film is a story of the indignities visited upon animals by their supposed human superiors\, but it’s also a starkly beautiful metaphor for the political and cultural tensions sweeping contemporary Europe.

At the same time\, all the other unwanted\, unloved and so-called ‘unfit’ dogs rise up under their new leader Hagen – the one-time house pet – who\, in his terrible journey through the streets and animal control centers\, has learned all too well from his ‘Masters’ that man is not always dog’s best friend… \nWatch the trailer here! \n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one]
