It is the first narrative feature film shot in the garbage-collecting town of Payatas in the Philippines, where the living conditions are possibly the most horrific in the world. It was also the first film that was made with a cast culled from the scavengers of a garbage- collecting town, from the graduates of the town’s only acting workshop. In a world of monstrous mountains of trash, a man named Julio and his son confront their ultimate fight for survival as they seek refuge and redemption from war and hunger. Together, they navigate territorial rivalries and intense desperation among scavengers, surviving – and finding love – despite horrific living conditions. Julio, involved in a murder incident, must prove his innocence to avoid his family’s banishment and ultimate starvation. $8 GENERAL $6 FILM GROUP & $1 of each admission goes toward MEMBERS PAY ONLY $6.00 our capital improvements, aimed CINEMATHEQUE ADMISSION $7 STUDENTS BUY A MEMBERSHIP!

The film – which tells the story of a teenage hockey phenom who goes from obscurity to overnight fame – also stars a slew of Canadian talent. Among those are singer/songwriter Marc Jordan (whose composing credits include Rod Stewart’s “Rhythm of My Heart” and Cher’s “Taxi Taxi”), newcomers Noah Reid and Allie MacDonald, along with cameos by music artists Nelly Furtado, Dave Bidini, Hawksley Workman and John McDermott, journalists George Stroumboulopoulos and Evan Solomon, sports anchor Steve Kouleas, hockey dad Walter Gretzky and hockey star Theo Fleury. Unlike other musicals, the story doesn’t stop just for the sake of a song. Instead, the lyrics (written by McGowan) drive the plot. There are 20 original songs, among them one called “Darryl vs. the Kid” by Barenaked Ladies, as well as “Hugs” by Olivia Newton-John, Amy Sky and Marc Jordan, and five songs on which Hawksley Workman contributed.

The leading duo in the band, Joe Dick (played by Hugh Dillon) and Billy Tallent (Keith Callum Rennie), even include the film Spinal Tap in a game of "Name the Cool Movie." McDonald calls the film Spinal Tap's "mean little brother" and suggests that "they would make a nice double bill." Unlike the older brother, however, there is a minimum amount of finger pointing, satire or parody in McDonald's film of a legendary West Coast punk band reuniting for a benefit concert. The story of one last Western Canadian tour is, instead, a melodrama full of cinematic poetry and humour. McDonald's film veers from Rob Reiner's mock documentary by allowing us moments in which we are pulled from the fiction to marvel at its realism, only to be sutured back into the narrative. McDonald says Hard Core Logo is "a bit of a dance between the logic of documentary and narrative." The conventions of documentary are used by McDonald and the actors to tell a story of remarkable complexity and texture about the Inset: The Hard Core Logo band from left, Joe Dick (Hugh Dillon), John Oxenberger (John Pyper-Ferguson), Pipefitter (Bernie Coulson) and Billy Tallent (Keith Callum Rennie).

President Nixon was in the White House and the U.S. was at war in Vietnam. The image of the picture‐perfect, stay‐at‐home housewife with the ideal husband and family was being threatened. Forces of change—a sexual revolution, the use of hallucinogenic drugs and a new founded challenge to authority—had crept into family rooms and dinning table conversations. Raised in a traditional Christian family, Perry leads a sheltered life, always doing what is expected of him. He has a wonderful virgin Christian girlfriend, Dorothy. He attends church with his family on Sundays and enjoys family dinners. He is following a career path that will prevent him from being drafted to fight in Vietnam. As a chemist he is book smart and company driven, but doesn’t know the harsh realities of the world. Everything he believes in is challenged the day he is chosen to be a jury member in a hippie death cult murder trial, where the defendant on trial is a strikingly beautiful woman named Leslie.

Poems that chronicle a difficult youth, experience with drugs, friendships, and music are interwoven with insights gleaned from the eclectic jumble of neighbourhoods and people he encounters on his long walks. Spare—eloquent with a healthy dose of grit—the poems of Moon Was a Feather are infused with the poet’s deep appreciation for the eccentricities of fate that life throws at him, and the love for music that helps him make sense of them. Scott Nolan is a songwriter, poet, multi-instrumentalist from Winnipeg, Manitoba Treaty One territory, with nine albums to his credit. His songs have been recorded by Hayes Carll, Mary Gauthier, Watermelon Slim, and Corin Raymond, among new releases others.

Starring: Pier-Gabriel Lajoie, Walter Borden, Katie Boland, Marie-Hélène Thibault PRELIMINARY PRESS NOTES Official Selection: Toronto International Film Festival 2013 Venice International Film Festival 2013 Montreal Festival of New Cinema 2013 Country of Origin: Canada Format: DCP/2.35/Color Sound Format: 5.1 Running Time: 82 minutes Genre: Comedy/Romance Not Rated In English National Press Contact: Jenna Martin / Marcus Hu Strand Releasing Phone: 310.836.7500 [email protected] [email protected] Please download photos from our website: http://strandreleasing.com/films/gerontophilia/ SYNOPSIS In this wry “reverse Lolita” tale, 18-year-old Lake discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate lands him a job at an assisted-living facility where he develops an intimate relationship with Mr. Peabody. Upon discovering that the clients are being over-medicated to make them more manageable, Lake weans Mr. Peabody off his medication and helps him escape, resulting in a road trip that deepens their bond. The always-provocative Bruce LaBruce returns with a delicately perverse romantic comedy that is both darkly humorous and emotionally heartfelt. INTERVIEW WITH BRUCE LABRUCE How did you come to the idea of a romance between a young man and an elderly? Over the years I’ve encountered a number of young people with very specific fetishes involving relationships with much older people, and it’s always intrigued me. I’ve been told stories, most often by younger men, of their first sexual experience having been with a man in his sixties or older, and there always seemed to be a pedagogical aspect to the relationship, as well as a deep affection.

  • Best New Films from Canada
    BEST NEW FILMS FROM CANADA JULY 7 – SEPTEMBER 13 AFI SILVER THEATRE AND CULTURAL CENTER CANADA NOW BEST NEW FILMS FROM CANADA 2017 JULY 7 – SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 AFI SILVER THEATRE AND CULTURAL CENTER On the occasion of Canada's 150th anniversary, AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center and Telefilm Canada present this selection of both classic and contemporary Canadian cinema. As the Hollywood studio system began to falter in the 1960s, Canada seized the initiative with innovative financing and artist-friendly state support to bolster a parallel cinema that eventually launched the careers of internationally acclaimed filmmakers like Denys Arcand, David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, Guy Maddin, and Deepa Mehta. Today, a new wave of Québécois filmmakers have become sought-after directors for A-list Hollywood pictures, such as Jean-Marc Vallée — director of DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, WILD and the HBO smash BIG LITTLE LIES — and Denis Villeneuve, Oscar®-nominated for Best Director for 2016's ARRIVAL and whose upcoming BLADE RUNNER 2049 is one of the year's most anticipated releases. Meanwhile, enfant terrible Xavier Dolan has won major awards at the Cannes Film Festival. This series combines a diverse selection of contemporary films, from both veteran and emerging filmmakers, along with a selection of classic Canadian films from some of the country's most accomplished talents. Special thanks to Telefilm Canada and the Embassy of Canada in Washington, DC, for their generous support of this program. All screenings take place at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, 8633 Colesville Road — downtown Silver Spring, MD. TICKETS $13 General Admission $10 Seniors (65 and over) $10 Students with valid ID, and military personnel (discounted tickets available at box office only) $950 AFI Members (2-Star level & up) $8 Children (12 and under) $10 Matinee tickets, weekdays before 5:00 p.m., Sat.
