Dick and his pals have been botching jobs and racking up prison time for years, but this time Dick has the perfect plan for the perfect heist. Problem is, his crew is so rife with fear and loathing that keeping them from killing each other is hard enough; getting to the bank will take an absolute miracle. LONG SYNOPSIS Set in 1983 just after the birth of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), High Life is a story about kinship, loyalty, and honor among thieves. For years, Dick (Timothy Olyphant) and his pals Donnie (Joe Anderson), the hypochondriac pickpocket, and Bug (Stephen Eric McIntyre) the volatile professional thief, have been botching jobs and racking up time in prison. The guys are longtime friends with a shared fondness for morphine and small-time crime. Upon Bug's latest release from jail, he arrives to find Dick at work – real work this time, at a real job, in a real hospital. -

Synopsis THE FORBIDDEN ROOM is Guy Maddin’s ultimate epic phantasmagoria. Honoring classic cinema while electrocuting it with energy, this Russian nesting doll of a film begins (after a prologue on how to take a bath) with the crew of a doomed submarine chewing flapjacks in a desperate attempt to breathe the oxygen within. Suddenly, impossibly, a lost woodsman wanders into their company and tells his tale of escaping from a fearsome clan of cave dwellers. From here, Maddin and co-director Evan Johnson take us high into the air, around the world, and into dreamscapes, spinning tales of amnesia, captivity, deception and murder, skeleton women and vampire bananas. Playing like some glorious meeting between Italo Calvino, Sergei Eisenstein and a perverted six year-old child, THE FORBIDDEN ROOM is Maddin's grand ode to lost cinema. -

On one level, textual fidelity seems less important than fiduciary responsibility. To explain by way of a reductive distinction between opening and closing film credits: In the Hol- lywood production model, opening credits signify “above-the-line,” marquee investments aimed at ensuring a profitable return at the box office. A star’s name, a director’s track record, even the acknowledgement of a prior liter- ary pedigree: all participate in the branding of a film’s relative credentials for success—as, for example, a familiar genre vehicle, a sure-fire hit or a “qual- ity” picture. Closing credits, by contrast, mostly reflect “below-the-line,” out- of-pocket expenses, the cost of building sets and props, designing costumes, renting equipment and locations, generating technical effects, feeding and watering cast and crew (see Glatzer). In Canada we haven’t quite figured out how to make this accounting system work, although not for lack of trying. Which is why in the debit column at the end of most Canadian films made since 1995 one sees routine acknowledgement paid to the following confi- dence broker: the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit program (CPTC).
