The clarity with which Foroughi presents the situation makes it easy for international audiences to follow the unfolding drama with its rising stakes.” – Deborah Young\, The Hollywood Reporter \n  \nBased on her own adolescent experiences\, Sadaf Foroughi’s Ava is a gripping debut about a young girl’s coming-of-age in a strict\, traditional society. Living with her well-to-do parents in Tehran\, Ava is a bright and focused teen whose concerns — friendships\, music\, social status\, academic performance — resemble that of nearly any teenager. When Ava’s mistrustful and overprotective mother questions her relationship with a boy — going so far as to visit a gynecologist – Ava is overwhelmed by a newfound rage. Formerly a model student\, Ava begins to rebel against the strictures imposed by her parents\, her school\, and the society at large. \n  \nAwards:\n \nNominated\, International Debut Award\, Göteborg Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Canadian First Feature Film/Honourable Mention\, International Critics’ Award\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF9pDPmF3is” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \n \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Foxtrot - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one_third ] \n[col_one_third ] \n \n[/col_one_third] \n[col_two_thirds ] \nFoxtrot\n\nScreening: Thursday\, May 17\, 2018 – 4pm\, 7pm\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nWritten and Directed by: Samuel Maoz\nCast: Lior Ashkenazi\, Sarah Adler\, Yonaton Shiray  and Shira Haas\nDrama\, 14A for some sexual content\, substance abuse and language\, 113 min.\, Hebrew with English subtitles (Israel/Switzerland/Germany/France) \n  \n\n[btnsx id=”4205″]\n[/col_two_thirds] \n[col_one ] \n“Brilliantly constructed with a visual audacity that serves the subject rather than the other way around\, this is award-winning filmmaking on a fearless level.” – Jay Weissberg\, VARIETY \n“It’s a superior piece of cinema.” – David Sims\, THE ATLANTIC \n  \n  \nSamuel Maoz’s debut feature\, Lebanon (winner of the Golden Lion at the 2009 Venice Film Festival)\, was set during the 1982 Lebanon War\, and shot almost entirely inside of a tank. Foxtrot steps away from that fevered claustrophobia to tell another maddening story of war and conflict\, but this one on a much broader canvas. Michael (Lior Ashkenazi) and Dafna (Sarah Adler) experience gut-wrenching grief when army officials show up at their home to announce the death of their son\, Jonathan. Unable to find any solace in the well-meaning — if hollowly effusive — condolences of their extended family\, or in the empty patriotic platitudes of bureaucrats\, Michael spirals into anger only to subsequently experience one of life’s unfathomable twists — a twist that can only be rivaled by the surreal military experiences of his son. This film examines both the strength and the absurdity of military service from several points of view. Moving from the grieving parents’ apartment to the remote military post where Jonathan was stationed\, Maoz shows us precisely how much damage can ensue when young soldiers\, barely able to tell their toe from a trigger\, experience boredom\, privation\, and loneliness. Although there is a terrible tragedy at the heart of the film\, containing many moments laced with mordant humour\, irony\, and sincere emotional connection. Maoz once again brings us a powerful story\, beautifully photographed and composed\, about the lunacy of war\, and its most immediate\, as well as its most far-reaching impacts. \n  \n16 Awards\, 14 Nominations: \nNominee\, Best Film\, Asia Pacific Screen Awards\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Director\, Athens International Film Festival\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Film\, Best Director\, Best Actor (Lior Ashkenazi)\, Best Cinematography\, Best Cinematography\, Awards of the Israeli Film Academy\, 2017\nWinner\, Capri Foreign Language Film\, Capri\, Hollywood\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Foreign Language Film\, National Board of Review\, USA\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Film\, Venice Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQmQ7aORAQU” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \n \n[/col_one]
