SUMMARY:Their Finest - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening: July 5\, 2017 – 4pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nDirected by: Lone Scherfig\nPrinciple Cast: Bill Nighy\, Gemma Arterton\, Sam Claflin\, Eddie Marsan and Richard E. Grant\nComedy/Drama\, 14A for coarse language and sexual content\, 117 minutes (United Kingdom) \n  \n[btnsx id=”3046″] \n  \n  \n“Their Finest is the sort of crowd-pleaser that knows the difference between satisfying its viewers and flattering them\, all the while showcasing surprising performances from Gemma Arterton and Sam Claflin\, and an entirely unsurprising one from Bill Nighy — a master scene-stealer pulling off yet another brazen heist.” – Andrew Barker\, Variety  \n\n“Sherfig perfectly balances the comedic romance & period drama elements to make Their Finest a pleasantly entertaining watch.” – Matthew Pejkovic\, Matt’s Movie Reviews \n  \nA true favourite in the industry\, Lone Scherfig directs a sterling British cast in this period comedy-drama based on the novel\, Their Finest Hour and a Half\, by Lissa Evans about a group of filmmakers struggling to make an inspirational film to boost morale during the Blitz of London in World War II. Young screenwriter Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) is charged with bringing a female perspective to war films produced by the British Ministry of Information’s Film Division. Her current project is inspired by stories of British civilians rescuing soldiers after the retreat at Dunkirk. While on location in Devon\, Catrin begins to come into her own and earn the respect of her peers\, including the haughty veteran actor Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy). Their Finest pops with witty banter\, flows with exquisite period detail and functions as a positive affirmation of women in film thanks to a fine performance from Gemma Arterton and superb direction from Lone Scherfig. \n  \nAwards:\nWon\, Audience Award for Best Feature Film\, Göteborg Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyFYoM5Teg0″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n\n  \nSponsored By: \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:The Commune - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nScreening: Thursday\, July 20\, 2017 – 4:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\nDirected by: Thomas Vinterberg\nCast: Trine Dyrholm\, Ulrich Thomsen and Helene Reingaard Neumann\nDrama\, 18A for mature thematics\, sexuality and some nudity\, 112 minutes\,\nDanish with English Subtitles (Denmark/Sweden/Netherlands) \n  \n[btnsx id=”3130″] \n  \nThe new film by lauded Danish director Thomas Vinterberg (“The Celebration\,” Oscar® nominated “The Hunt”) examines the fallout from the social upheavals of the 1970s through the microcosm of a Copenhagen commune. Anna (Trine Dyrholm\, who won Best Actress at the 2016 Berlinale for her performance) is a television newswoman; her husband\, Erik (Ulrich Thomsen)\, teaches architecture at a university\, but the grim reality of mentoring people whose career prospects are brighter than his own has left him disgruntled and bored. When Erik’s father passes away\, the couple must decide what to do with the huge house that Erik grew up in\, as it’s too expensive for them to occupy on their own. Erik prefers selling\, but Anna — who has become frustrated with Erik’s dour outlook and longs for something new — suggests that they use this opportunity to experiment with communal living (which was all the rage in Scandinavia at the time). Energized by the era’s relaxed taboos\, Anna and Erik assemble a diverse\, rather motley crew of cohabitants and embark on their adventure\, but soon take very different paths. Driven by brilliant lead performances from Vinterberg’s “Celebration” stars Thomsen and Dyrholm and supporting turns from Lars Ranthe and Fares Fares\, THE COMMUNE is a sharply observed study of how new values can quickly come into conflict with old habits and affiliations. \n  \n  \nAwards: \nWon\, Best Actress (Dyrholm)\, Berlin International Film Festival 2016\nWon\, Best Actress (Dyrholm)\, Bodil Awards 2017\nNominated\, Best Feature\, Chicago International Film Festival 2016\nNominated\, Narrative Feature Competition\, Montclair Film Festival (MFF) 2017 \n  \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL_swe-UIg8″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \nProgram is Sponsored by: \n \n[/col_one]
