As the poster proclaims,
The Canadian Film Festival is back and for 2012 it's got some wonderful short films for you to check out. The longest film is only 14 minutes and with such talent on display there will be no time for boredom at The Royal Cinema in
"the heart of Little Italy".
How can you resist a title like Everybody Wing Chun Tonight?
Well, don't even try. From the womanist 3-minute Ming Dynasty martial arts drama (
Win Chun), the comic machinations of an opera diva seeking solace form the stage (Natalie Choquette in
The Perfect Vacuum), vengeful UFOs in
Devolution: Reckoning and experimental dance in
Phase to Rom-Com public transit dramas like
Long Branch, relationship pieces like
Sonata for Christian,
Onion Skin (the director is only 16!) and
Hangnail (filmed in a single shot), there is something for everyone
. Included in this goody grab bag of films is a flashback to the 1930's with
Rosie Takes the Train, directed by none other than CIUT 89.5 FM alumni,
Stephen Phillip Scott. We CIUT-ers are everywhere! Stephen used to co-DJ an overnight show back in the day, when CIUT broadcast from the attic at 91 St. George Street.
Ask him about it at the Q & A after the screenings.
