Have a truly unforgettable Valentine’s Day at BFI Southbank with an expertly selected programme of films celebrating romance and passion screening across the venue’s four plush film theatres on February 14. This diverse programme celebrates the best the Golden Age of Hollywood has to offer with Bringing up Baby (1938) and The Philadelphia Story (1940), the lesser-known French New Wave gem My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend (1987), and modern LGBT titles Cloudburst (2011) and Plan B (2009). With outstanding performances from Hollywood greats Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart, The Philadelphia Story is a classic comedy about a society wedding threatened by scandal, while Hepburn and Grant and reunited for Bringing up Baby, adding a touch of screwball comedy to the line-up. BFI Flare presents two LGBT features, Cloudburst (2011), the endearing story of two women in their 70’s and their journey to getting married and Plan B (2009), an enchanting story of unexpected love in the 21st century. Eric Rohmer delves into the complicated side of love in My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend (1987) and explores what happens when you fall for the wrong person. At BFI Southbank, it isn’t just the films that make for a memorable evening. Comedian Miranda Hart picked a film and a meal at the BFI as her ‘best place for a first date’ in ES Magazine’s My London column, while The Riverfront Bar & Kitchen was voted 2014’s Best Cinema Bar in London by Time Out; a delicious meal overlooking breath-taking views of the Thames is the ideal way to follow up your film.

COMMUNICATIONS 259 Lakeshore Blvd. East T: 416.910.7740 2nd Floor F: 416.944.8140 Toronto, Ontario, M5A 3T7 [email protected] T: 416.535.1870 x 236 F: 416.535.3414 [email protected] AWAY FROM HER SYNOPSIS AWAY FROM HER is the lyrical screenplay adaptation of celebrated author Alice Munro’s short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain”. AWAY FROM HER is a beautifully moving love story that deals with memory and the circuitous, unnamable paths of a long marriage. Married for 50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona’s (Julie Christie) commitment to each other appears unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness and humour. This serenity is broken only by the occasional, carefully restrained reference to the past, giving a sense that this marriage may not always have been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fiona’s to make such references, along with her increasingly evident memory loss, creates a tension that is usually brushed off casually by both of them. As the lapses become more obvious and dramatic, it is no longer possible for either of them to ignore the fact that Fiona is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, Fiona decides that it is time for her to enter into Meadowlake, a retirement home that specializes in the disease.

  • Mongrel Media Presents
    Mongrel Media Presents Written and directed by Thom Fitzgerald 2002 Atlantic Film Festival Winner of 4 awards, including Best Canadian Feature and Best Direction Canada, 2002, 95 minutes Distribution 109 Melville Ave. Toronto, Ontario, Canada M6G 1Y3 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR Tel: 416-488-4436 Fax: 416-488-8438 E-mail: [email protected] Synopsis Set in the hauntingly beautiful city of Bucharest during a cull of stray dogs, The Wild Dogs weaves together a week in the lives of several of the city’s residents and visitors. Geordie (Thom Fitzgerald), a visiting Canadian pornographer, Bogdan (Mihai Calota), a reluctant city dog-catcher, and Nathalie (Alberta Watson), the lonely wife of a diplomat, each risks losing everything as they become embroiled in the struggles of Bucharest's abandoned children, gypsies, dogs and beggars. 2 Production Notes From the Director… “Why did I want to make a film about dogs? (furrows his brow to think, then)…I like dogs. Life has taught me that all men are dogs and all women are bitches. Not every day, of course. But often enough to make a good movie about it. When you strip away the luxuries of wealth and culture, and see people struggling to survive, it confirms that people are animals. And then if you look closer, even when they are rich and cultured, they’re still animals. I was working in Romania on a teen slasher movie. The Hollywood executives kept calling and asking for the pretty young actresses to wear tighter shirts and more make-up.

  • By Glenn Walton
    by Glenn Walton • All photos courtesy of Cineplex Odeon Films By the time they're 29, a lot of people have settled into serious jobs and are contemplating mortgages and life in the familiar lane. Thom Fitzgerald, a quietly ambitious Halifax filmmaker, enjoys no such security. But then again, he's marking a career milestone in September that every young wannabe director—writer would envy—his first dramatic feature, The Hanging Garden, opens the prestigious Perspective Canada program at the Toronto International Film Festival and then moves on to the San Sebastian Festival in Spain. Not bad for a guy who wasn't even a Canadian resident until 1988. Thom Fitzgerald grew up in New Rochelle (the New York suburb that was the setting for The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 1960s) and attended Manhattan's Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, studying film and performance. Turned down for a study exchange in Italy "because they didn't like my paintings," he moved to Halifax instead to study with media artist Jan Peacock at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. His artistic output since arriving in Halifax has been steady and eclectic. Besides writing, directing and producing film, Fitzgerald has been a highly visible performance artist and actor as well as serving time in various arts collectives, notably as coordinator of the Atlantic Filmmakers' Cooperative and managing director of AIMedia, the region's independent film and video distributor. Along with Renee Penney and Michael Weir, he is a member of the Charlatan Theatre Collective, which workshops and performs original stage material.
