Cloudburst

OTTAWA PREMIERE | FILMMAKER IN ATTENDANCE

This tale of two lesbians (Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker) who escape their nursing home and head to Canada to marry could have been a geriatric Thelma and Louise. But in the hands of writer/director Fitzgerald (The Hanging Garden), it “delivers a beautifully-written ode to love on the run… and a Nova Scotia that’s never looked more heart-achingly beautiful.” (Greg Klymkiw)

Director Thom Fitzgerald will introduce the film and host a Q&A Mar. 9!
