Bloom 2019: Pierre Kwenders

Townehouse Tavern 206 Elgin Street, Sudbury, Canada

Pierre Kwenders will headline March 10 following the NLFB Meltdown Competition 2019. Fun fact: he sings and raps in FIVE different languages! This show is 19+. Government issued IDs may be required. TICKETS: www.nlfb.ca/tickets FULL SCHEDULE: www.nlfb.ca/bloom/schedule Afro-Canadian singer/songwriter Pierre Kwenders’ music is a response to a world that so often asks people who fit comfortably in multiple boxes to pick only one. Born in Kinshasa, Kwenders draws on his wide-ranging experience to make personal music with multiple points of entry, rather than paring it down to fit recognizable genres. While Pierre’s music ranges from icy R&B to futuristic hip-hop, his style is rooted in Congolese rumba, the ubiquitous sound of The Democratic Republic of Congo. Like Kwenders, the genre’s identity transcends location: It began in the 1960’s as central African artists’ take on Afro-Cuban rumba, which in turn grew out of African sounds imported to Cuba through the slave trade in the 17th century. But Pierre is as influenced by the sound of Congolese rumba as he is by the attitude of artists like the late Papa Wemba, who pushed the genre forward by finding ways to incorporate new ideas. Kwenders takes a similar approach to R&B and hip-hop.

Film: Nothing Like a Dame

Sudbury Indie Cinema Downtown 40 Elm Street, Sudbur, Ontario, Canada

Dames Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Joan Plowright, and Maggie Smith get together for tea to reminisce and discuss their acting careers. “What happens when four living stage legends sit down to tea? In Roger Michell’s charming documentary, they gossip, argue and admit that they don’t remember everything… … it’s ultimately big fun having tea with these Dames.” -Susan G. Cole ‘NOW Toronto’

Film: Capernaum

Sudbury Indie Cinema Downtown 40 Elm Street, Sudbur, Ontario, Canada

After running away from his negligent parents, committing a violent crime and being sentenced to five years in jail, a hardened, streetwise 12-year-old Lebanese boy sues his parents in protest of the life they have given him. "In “Capernaum,” the heartache of the underprivileged is on such interminable display that you feel the physical hurt in your bones. But the manner in which the filmmaker renders these pains somehow doesn’t feel exploitative or gratuitous—there is a nuanced matter-of-factness even in Labaki’s empathy that prevents it to ever become pity. If anything, the co-writer/director seems to know and care about the exact kind of kid she follows in “Capernaum,” a fighter who has no option but to remain independent, resourceful and tireless at the end of each exhausting day the sun sets on, with no promise of a brighter tomorrow." -Tomris Laffly 'rogerebert.com'

Film: Cold War

Sudbury Indie Cinema Downtown 40 Elm Street, Sudbur, Ontario, Canada

In the 1950s, a music director falls in love with a singer and tries to persuade her to flee communist Poland for France. "An aching film on such exquisite pains of impossible love, Paweł Pawlikowski’s “Cold War” concurrently swells your heart and breaks it, just like the sore memory of a lover that drifted away from your life, or an intensely craved kiss that never was. It’s a tale with the makings of legendary sagas, following the union and break-up (and union and break-up again and again) of Wiktor and Zula, a classically gorgeous couple from the opposite sides of the tracks. They first meet deep in the dilapidated countryside of the post-World War II Poland. They exchange suggestive glances and embark on a stormy affair that disastrously evolves over two isolating decades and numerous unsympathetic locales across Europe.” -Tomris Laffly 'rogerebert.com'
