Fake Trailers/Real Festival
UPDATE: In addition to the ~45 minutes of original, fake trailers submitted by local and international filmmakers, the evening will include ~30 minutes of obscure, rare and unbelievable-but-true trailers for films from the actual grindhouse era! In the tradition of Rodriguez’s and Tarantino’s Grindhouse, we present a festival
Good Neighbours
OTTAWA PREMIERE Director Tierney and lead actor Jay Baruchel both won Genies for their Commie-ing-of-age comedy, The Trotsky, and their latest effort a thriller set in the midst of the 1995 Québec referendum is just as award-worthy. A unique, compelling and very rich piece of work that delights
First Grader, The
Based on the true story of an 84-year-old veteran of Kenyas revolutionary struggle who, taking his governments promise of universal education seriously, attempts to enroll at his local school, The First Grader strikes a perfect balance between humor and tragic gravity. (Hollywood Reporter)

Bang Bang Club, The

Watch for great neorealist director Vittorio De Sica (Bicycle Thief) as a faded aristocrat and Roman Polanski as
