Le Havre
Monday Feb 20, 2012 - Nakusp Bonnington Arts Ctr at 7 pm
Aki Kaurismäki’s Cannes 2011 favourite and winner of the FIPRESCI Prize . A political fairy tale that takes inspiration from the French cinema of the 1930s, Le Havre finds Kaurismäki working in France for the first time since his 1992 art house hit La Vie de Boheme.
In this warm-hearted portrait of the harbor city that gives the film its name, fate throws young African refugee Idrissa (newcomer Blondin Miguel) into the path of Marcel Marx (André Wilms, Europa Europa), a well-spoken bohemian who works as a shoe-shiner. With innate optimism and the unwavering solidarity of his community, Marcel stands up to officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation. In addition to Wilms and Miguel, Le Havre stars Kati Outinen (The Man Without a Past) and Jean-Pierre Darroussin (A Very Long Engagement). Le Havre was co-produced by Fabienne Vonier (The Barbarian Invasions) and Reinhard Brundig (Winged Migration).

Monsieur Lazhar
Monday March 5, The Bonnington Arts Centre, Nakusp 7pm
Canada's entry to the Oscars, Phillipe Farlardeau's heartfelt and often humourous drama doesnt dissapoint.
This is the story of an Algerian immigrant substitute teacher who brings emotional stability to a Montreal middle school class shaken by the suicide of their well-liked teacher.
Surprisingly humorous, this is a luminous and tender tale about the lessons we learn from one another, regardless of age and features amazing performances by the child actors, verifying that director Philippe Farlardeau is one of Canada’s great filmic treasures. Winner of best film by Canadian Film Critics and Canada’s entry to the Oscars. PG
Principal Cast: Cory Monteith, Dustin Milligan, Amanda Crew, Gabrielle Miller, Kacey Rohl, Ben Ratner,
Sisters & Brothers
Monday April 16, The Bonnington Arts Centre, Nakusp 7pm
The third installment in a hilarius trilogy on family dynamics - Mothers & Daughters (CFF 2010) and Fathers & Sons (CFF 2011). Carl Bessai's new film SISTER & BROTHERS doesnt dissapoint with its unique collaborative style and filmmaking process.
Carl Bessai’s third installment in his family trilogy is a bracingly funny look into the lives of four sets of siblings. Brimming with affection, hostility and a healthy dose of guilt, Sisters & Brothers cleverly tills the volatile territory of siblinghood.
Four scenarios are rife with comedy and drama : A Schizophrenic brother (Ben Ratner) is nursed back to health by his sister; A famous actor caught up in his own fame and his philanthropic brother try to relate; Two sisters are worlds apart in what they want from life - and finally a mother is faced with telling her daughter about a sister she never knew she had.
92 mins. PG - violence, sex, bums and swears ... the stuff families are made of!
