SYNOPSIS: Best known for his painting “The Scream”, this pristinely restored 1973 film covers the 10 year period in Munch’s life, 1885-95, when the artist did his most important and influential work. Through a swirling montage of the sounds and images conveying Munch’s memories, fears and influences all interspersed with shots of the artist at work, this film creates one of the most enthralling studies of a working artist ever filmed.

SYNOPSIS: “If you see only one Japanese seeing-eye-dog movie this year, let it be Quill. The opening scenes present a bounty of puppies so unbearably cute, they’ll elicit a chorus of coos from even the stoniest audience. The movie’s hero is a Labrador named Quill who undergoes the most demanding training regimen seen on screen since the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Smart, diligent and charming, he wins the affection of his stern trainer, Tawada, and his grumpy blind handler. Audiences are just as unlikely to resist him in Yoichi Sai’s simply rendered and indisputably sweet film.” – Jason Anderson, EYE Magazine.

SYNOPSIS:Married for 50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona’s (Julie Christie) life together is full of tenderness and humour, their serenity broken only by Fiona’s restrained references to the past, complicated further by her increasingly evident memory loss. Moving Fiona into a nursing home specializing in Alzheimer’s disease, Grant is not allowed to visit for the first month so she can “adjust”. When he sees her again, Fiona has forgotten him and turned her affection to Aubrey (Michael Murphy), another resident in the home. Heartbroken, Grant visits daily, bearing witness to the growing bond between her and Aubrey. When Aubrey’s wife, Marian (Olympia Dukakis), takes Aubrey home, Fiona becomes deeply depressed, and Grant embarks on the greatest act of self-sacrifice of his life.
