Jonathan is a bright 12-year-old — perhaps too bright\, since everyone picks on him at school\, including his teachers. His closest friend in the world is his father\, Daniel. The two of them meet up every day after school when Jonathan visits Daniel at his job at the bank. One day\, Daniel is involved in an accident at work and the bank refuses to take responsibility for it. With the help of his cranky grandfather Eliyahu\, Eliyahu’s wily friend Nick\, and a disgraced\, eccentric British Lord\, the boy comes up with a crazy plan that will help save his family\, while getting even with his father’s sleazy former boss: the four of them are going to rob the bank! \n  \nAdvance tickets are available two weeks before each screening at Uptown Theatre box office or MacLaren Art Centre\, or day of screening. Theatre box office opens one hour before first screening of the day. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9cGh-UwUAo” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]

In recent years\, an awareness-raising movement has been surfacing in First Nations communities.

SUMMARY:THE THREE AMIGOS! - Outdoor Screening

Just at that opportune moment\, a woman named Carmen (Patrice Martinez) asks them to come to her forgotten little town south of the border and do some work for her\, for a tidy sum. The three “stooges” agree\, thinking they are going to perform their singing cowboy routine\, but instead Carmen wants them to get rid of the nasty El Guapo (Alfonso Arau) who is running roughshod over the good citizens of the town. Not the kind of heroes they appear to be in the movies\, they have a difficult time helping out the distressed townsfolk. \nSponsored by the Downtown Barrie Business Association (BIA)

SUMMARY:Keep On\, Keepin' On - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:Keep On\, Keepin’ On\n \nScreening: Sunday\, June 14\, 2015 – 4:00 pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop Street West\, Barrie\nDirected by: Alan Hicks\nFeaturing: Clark Terry\, Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones\nDocumentary\, PG for some language 86 minutes (USA) \n  \n“There’s no need to be a jazz aficionado to enjoy this story\, as the film is not just a description of music icon but a rare chance at seeing\, in reality\, both the beginning and the end of a highly unlikely dream.” – Eamon OLoughlin\, FILMINK Australia \n“As joyful as a jumping jazz riff\, Keep on Keepin’ On is an inspiring story of devotion\, dedication and multi-generational friendship.” – Linda Barnard\, Toronto Star \n  \nShot over the course of five years by first time filmmaker Al Hicks\, KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON depicts the remarkable story of 93-year-old jazz legend Clark Terry. A living monument to the Golden Era of Jazz\, Terry – a mentor to Miles Davis – is among the few performers ever to have played in both Count Basie’s and Duke Ellington’s bands. In the 1960’s\, he broke the colour barrier as the first African-American staff musician at NBC – on “The Tonight Show”. Today\, after a life spent working with and teaching the most totemic figures in jazz history\, Terry continues to attract and cultivate budding talents. KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON highlights his friendship with the preternaturally gifted Justin Kauflin\, a blind\, 23-year-old piano prodigy who suffers from debilitating stage fright. Not long after Kauflin is invited to compete in an elite Jazz competition\, Terry’s health takes a turn for the worse. As the clock ticks\, we see two friends confront the toughest challenges of their lives. Kauflin’s work on the film’s score with composer Dave Grusin sets the tone for a story that spans decades\, lifetimes and the entire history of modern Jazz\, complete with firsthand anecdotes from Jones and Herbie Hancock. KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON is a film crafted with great affection by Hicks – another former student of Terry’s – a grace note for his teacher\, infused with soulfulness and serendipity. Paula DuPre’ Pesmen (behind the Academy Award winning THE COVE and the Oscar nominated CHASING ICE) produced the film with seven time Academy Award nominee Quincy Jones who also counts Terry as his mentor. Jones came on board as producer after literally walking into the film as one of its subjects\, discovering Justin’s talent purely by chance during a visit at Clark’s home. \n  \nShown in Partnership with the Barrie Jazz and Blues Festival. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrHA4axGXZo” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]

SUMMARY:X+Y - 8PM
DESCRIPTION:Director: Morgan Matthews\nCast: Asa Butterfield\, Sally Hawkins\, Rafe Spall\, Eddie Marsan\, and Jo Yang\nComedy/Drama\, PG\, 111 minutes (United Kingdom) \nTickets: Adult $10\, Senior/Student $8 \nPreferring to hide in the safety of his own private world\, Nathan (Asa Butterfield\, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas\, Hugo) struggles to connect with people\, often pushing away those who want to be closest to him\, including his mother\, Julie (Sally Hawkins). Without the ability to understand love or affection\, Nathan finds the comfort and security he needs in numbers and mathematics. \nMentored by his unconventional and anarchic teacher\, Mr. Humphreys (Rafe Spall)\, it becomes clear that Nathan’s talents are enough to win him a place on the British team competing at the highly revered International Mathematics Olympiad. \nBeing part of a team and one that has a real chance of winning seems like it could change Nathan’s life forever. But when the team go to train in Taiwan\, Nathan is faced with a multitude of unexpected challenges\, not least the new and unfamiliar feelings he begins to experience for one of the Chinese competitors\, the beautiful Zhang Mei. \nFrom England to Taipei and back again\, this inspiring and life-affirming story follows the unconventional and hilarious relationship between student and teacher\, whose roles are often reversed\, and the unfathomable experience of first love – when you don’t even understand what love is. \n“Deeply affecting … Matthews’ affinity for the subject and empathy for his characters pays rich dividends\, while his documentary background shines through in his and DP Danny Cohen’s eye for striking visual details.” – Leslie Felperin\, The Hollywood Reporter \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XtfvY0rMfo” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]

SUMMARY:Leviathan - 7PM
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by: Andrey Zvyagintsev\nCast: Alexey Serebryakov\, Elena Lyadova\, Vladimir Vdovitchenkov\, Roman Madyanov\, Anna Ukolova\, Alexey Rozin\, Sergey Pokhadaev\nDrama\, 14A or language and some sexuality/graphic nudity\, 141 minutes\, Russian with English Subtitles (Russia) \nTickets: Adult $10\, Senior/Student $8 \nAcclaimed Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return) won the Best Screenplay prize at Cannes and Golden Globe for this painterly\, primordial tale about a proud patriarch fighting to protect his family home from a corrupt local official. Set in the remote Russian northwest\, this is the tragic tale of one man’s struggle against a corrupt system of power. Kolya (Alexey Serebryakov)\, a part-time mechanic\, lives on a rocky shore with his wife and son in a house he built himself. When a local mayor attempts to seize the property through a compulsory purchase order he calls in a lawyer friend from Moscow to help fight his case. But the wheels of justice soon prove to be slow\, heavy and quite possibly deadly… \n  \n“From its chamber-piece delicacy and bureaucratic detail to a grandeur and implacable pessimism that seem as ancient as the land itself\, “Leviathan” is a distinctly Russian tragedy.” – Ann Hornaday\, Washington Post \n“One of the outstanding films of 2014\, Leviathan lives up to its title: it’s a behemoth of intelligent contemporary cinema.” – Jonathan Romney\, Film Comment Magazine \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHaBSa3w7PI” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ]
