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: The Women Who Loves Giraffes

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

In 1956, four years before Jane Goodall ventured into the world of chimpanzees and seven years before Dian Fossey left to work with mountain gorillas, in fact, before anyone, man or woman had made such a trip, 23-year old Canadian biologist, Anne Innis Dagg, made an unprecedented solo journey to South Africa to become the first person in the world to study animal behavior in the wild on that continent. When she returned home a year later armed with ground-breaking research, the insurmountable barriers she faced as a female scientist proved much harder to overcome. In 1972, having published 20 research papers as an assistant professor of zoology at University of Guelph, the Dean of the university, denied her tenure. She couldn't apply to the University of Waterloo because the Dean there told Anne that he would never give tenure to a married woman. This was the catalyst that transformed Anne into a feminist activist. For three decades, Anne Innis Dagg was absent from the giraffe world until 2010 when she was sought out by giraffologists and not just brought back to into the fold, but finally celebrated for her work.

La 46e Nuit sur l’étang : Hommage à Robert Paquette

Collège Boréal 21 Lasalle Blvd, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada

À l'été de 1969 tout était possible. L'Humanité marchait sur la lune. Nos esprits étaient occupés par des idées et de grands changements, mai 68, la révolution tranquille, l'effondrement de la famille canadienne - française, la crise identitaire franco-canadienne. Nous insistions pour parler français, dans les magasins, sur la rue, au travail, aux études. Nous rêvions d'écrire nos propres pièces de théâtre, notre poésie, nos romans, nos chansons et de composer notre musique. Cinquante ans plus tard, notre résilience est toujours là s'adaptant aux défis et prenant différentes formes au fil des décennies. Pour célébrer ce demi-siècle d'affirmations de notre communauté, La Nuit sur l'étang 2019 présente une création intitulée Hommage à Robert Paquette. Le samedi 23 mars 2019, à 19 h 30, à l’amphithéâtre du Collège Boréal, les Concerts La Nuit sur l’étang invitent la communauté francophone et les francophiles à venir célébrer le 50e anniversaire du premier franco-ontarien à enregistrer et faire carrière au Québec et à l'international ! Vous l'aurez deviné, cette édition est un hommage au grand Robert Paquette. Nous célébrerons la résilience de nos artistes, de notre culture et notre communauté à travers des airs de ce grand chanteur, accompagné par des artistes d'aujourd'hui et par un orchestre maison de grande envergure. EN AVANT PREMIÈRE : Le groupe Fjord de Blezard Valley ouvrira le bal avec sa musique folk à ambiance acoustique et jazz. Ce groupe originaire de la vallée est composé de trois jeunes artistes franco-ontariens. Nikola Goulet, Meagan Bigras et Michel Roux sont les heureux récipients de prix au festival Quand ça nous chante 2018 et lauréats au concours de musique La Brunante 2018. Ils sauront vous faire chanter et danser au rythme de leur musique. Rien de tel pour se mettre dans l'ambiance pour la Nuit à venir. EN PREMIÈRE PARTIE :...

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’
