JULY PREMIERES: TRUTH – AND SOMETHING STRANGER

This July, we present the rock-doc Ashes of  American Flags: Wilco Live and the rock-protest doc Sounds Like a Revolution, as well as Behind The Burly Q, which documents the history of burlesque, and Cropsey, which exposes the horrifying truth behind an urban legend. We also have Flooding with Love for the Kid, a one-man, micro-budget remake of First Blood, that proves some fictions are stranger than truth.

STUFF YOU WON’T SEE ANYWHERE ELSE

This August, An eyeful of terror in Two Evil Eyes! A roadful of action in The Road Warrior! A rocketful of revenge in Death Wish 3! An ordinary life full of complex stuff in American Splendor! A city full of lost children in The City of Lost Children! Only at Ottawa’s home of stuff you won’t see anywhere else.

Ottawa International Film Festival

The OIFF is the home “for independent sub-culture films from rising directors, producers, and actors right here in the Nation’s Capital.” Our kind of people! We’re proud to host the 2010 Festival, August 21 and 22. Check our website or www.oiff.ca for the complete list of screenings!

THE MAYFAIR GOES TO WAR

War is far from hell with this month-long lineup: The Bridge on the River Kwai, Das Boot, The Great Escape, Ip Man, Jacob’s Ladder, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Slaughterhouse-Five and The Thin Red Line.

JEUN IN AUGUST

This month, we’ve got Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s fantastic new film, Micmacs – and we’re bringing back two other Jeunet faves: Amelie and The City of Lost Children. Dreamy.
