Cinéma Moderne is thrilled to present a lineup including oddities,
new releases, special events, and retrospectives. In November, cinephiles can exclusively
discover the documentary One Day in the Life
of Noah Piugattuk from Canadian
filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk, a scathing condemnation of Canadian
colonialism in the 1960s.
The Irishman, from famed director
Martin Scorsese, which chronicles the involvement of a hitman in the
disappearance of American union boss Jimmy Hoffa, will also screen this month.
The Grand Prix winner of the 2019 Cannes Festival, Atlantique by Mati
Diop, which mixes film genres and introduces cinephiles to Dakar youth,
will also be presented.
Also opening: Wilcox by Denis Côté, which tells the story of a Quebec drifter; the new feature that will represent Canada at the Oscars, Antigone by Sophie Deraspe, a modern retelling of the classic play that maintains its intensity; and Marriage Story by Noah Baumbach, the story of a couple dealing with divorce and family unity.
In November, three retrospectives will be offered to cinephiles: Chantal
Akerman: The Nomadic Films featuring four documentaries from November
5 to 9, presented by editor Claire Atherton. During the Montreal
International Documentary Festival (RIDM) from November 14 to 24, Cinéma
Moderne will host two events. On November 15 & 16, six films will
screen as part of Laura Huertas Millán: Decolonizing Ethnography,and VISIONS: Colectivo los Ingrávidos on November 21
& 22 will include many films from the avant-garde feminist Mexican
collective.
Cinéma Moderne’s original series are back this month: cELLEuloid with The Sharks from filmmaker Lucía
Garibaldi; M: les Maudits with a 4K restoration of Santa Sangre
by Alejandro Jodorowsky, and The Thing by John
Carpenter; and Les Petits Modernes with new screenings of Festival Stop Motion Montréal: Youth program, as well as Ernest et Célestine and Zombillénium.
Many special events will take place at Cinéma Moderne in November. First, a screening of Le chat dans le sac, the debut feature by Gilles Groulx, on the occasion of the release of the album Blue World by John Coltrane, the composer of the score of the film. The presentation of the documentary investigation Trafic by Catherine Proulx will be followed by a discussion with the audience, as will be the screening of John Maloof and Charlie Siskel’s Sur les pas de Vivian Mayer.
