"Meadowlarks" NOSFA Film Screening
Showtimes: 6:30 & 8:15 pm
Director: Tasha Hubbard
Cast: Michael Greyeyes, Michele Thrush, Carmen Moore, Alex Rice
Runtime: 91 minutes
Language: English
Nomination: Directors Guild of Canada, Best Picture Editing
“Meadowlarks finds itself an excellent text on the universal struggles families face. The resentment, the anger, and the happiness are not only accurate, but brilliantly brought to life.”---Alan French, Sunshine State Cineplex
Based on her 2017 documentary “Birth of a Family,” acclaimed filmmaker Tasha Hubbard has turned to drama for the first time. With “Meadowlarks,” she takes the story of four siblings, separated as babies, who are reuniting 50 years later during a week spent in Banff.
Kicking off with awkward small talk, gifts, and forced bonding events, the one brother and three sisters do their best to get to know one another after decades apart.
Their forced separation at birth was part of the Sixties Scoop, the term given for the then-common practice of removing Indigenous children from their families, often without consent, and placing them with the child welfare system. While documentaries have covered this topic over the years, nothing has ever fictionalized the experience of uniting as adults and coping with the consequences.
To tell her story, Hubbard has assembled a terrific roster of Indigenous acting stars to play the siblings, including Michael Greyeyes (“40 Acres”), Michelle Thrush (“Bones of Crows,”), Carmen Moore (“Unnatural & Accidental,”), and Alex Rice (“On the Corner,”).
Their surname translates to “Meadowlarks.” An emotional journey handled with care, respect, and beauty---Hubbard is a Sixties Scoop survivor — “Meadowlarks” will leave you in tears, hugging your family members closer.

"The President's Cake" NOSFA Film Screening
Showtimes: 6:30 & 8:30 pm
Director: Hasan Hadi
Cast: Baneen Ahmad Nayyef, Waheed Thabet Kreibat, Sajad Mohamad Qasem
Runtime: 105 minutes
Language: Arabic with English subtitles
Awards: Cannes Film Festival: Audience Award; Golden Camera award; Hamptons International Film Festival: Best Narrative Feature; Hasan Hadi; Stockholm Film Festival: Best Directorial Debut; Athens International Film Festival: Audience Award; 4 other wins; 11 nominations.
“The President’s Cake is a compassionate and winsome debut, packed with an unassuming punch.”—Tomris Laffly, Variety
Hasan Hadi’s heartbreaking “The President’s Cake,” a multiple award winner at Cannes, is an unforgettable look at a country crushed by poverty and international sanctions — and ruled by a sadistic, greedy, and vain tyrant.
In 1990s Iraq, young Lamia (Baneen Ahmed Nayyef) lives with her ailing grandmother, Bibi (Waheeda Thabet Khreiba), eking out an existence in a remote village where the best means of travel is by meshouf, a kind of canoe. Disaster strikes when Lamia is “honoured” with bringing the cake for her school class’s mandatory celebration of Saddam Hussein’s birthday.
In other circumstances, this might be an innocuous responsibility, but Bibi and Lamia can’t afford the ingredients — and the last family that didn’t comply was dragged through the streets.
Bibi and Lamia (plus Hindi, her pet rooster) head to the city to purchase the ingredients for the cake, or so Lamia thinks. But when Bibi surprises her with a life-changing plan, Lamia flees, determined to continue her quest, and enlisting Saaed (Sajad Mohamad Qasem) to help. The pair’s wide-eyed determination and inventiveness is met only with disdain and contempt, and they are cheated or robbed by almost every adult. It’s the horrifying cost of scarcity and authoritarianism: complete moral collapse.
The few who are ostensibly kind may be the worst of all. Lamia and Saaed are invariably confronted with pictures of a wealthy Hussein beaming cruelly at them, even on the back of a truck the kids jump on.
Shot in a neorealist vein, reminiscent of Vittorio De Sica, “The President’s Cake” offers devastating cinematic proof of Bertolt Brecht’s famous dictum: “Grub first, then ethics.”

Penumbra Art Exhibition - A Story of Hope
This exhibition is titled Penumbra and it focuses on Mental Health-a visual journey through pain and healing. It will feature a combination of creative makeup* artistry and photography* performed by Bianca Gascoigne. It is aimed at raising awareness about mental health, creating connections with the arts and mental health communities and providing a platform for open dialogue within our community.

There will be 15 models, each of whom either work in mental health fields, are local artists or are in support of raising mental health awareness (or all 3). Each model has been/is affected by their own mental health experiences, however this exhibition will not be telling the models individual stories in order to respect their privacy. The exhibition will be a display of creative expression.
This event will take place at Mariner’s Hall for the opening night (food and beverages provided at the beginning of the evening), and it will be on display for at least 1 week.

"The Choral" NOSFA Film Screening
Showtimes: 6:30 & 8:30 pm
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Cast: Ralph Fiennes
Runtime: 113 minutes
Language: English
“The Choral” is an old-fashioned diversion about music’s ability to bridge societal gaps, buoyed by a terrific lead performance by Ralph Fiennes.” ---Richard Crouse, CTV News
Propelled by Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes, this inspiring drama from veteran director Nicholas Hytner (“The Lady in the Van”) depicts a British choir director’s efforts to assemble an ensemble during the darkest days of the First World War.
Written by Hytner’s frequent collaborator, revered playwright and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Alan Bennett (“The Madness of King George”), “The Choral” is a testament to music’s power to sustain our souls in troubled times.
The year is 1916 and the Great War is draining a Yorkshire town of its men, leaving the local choral society without voices. For a performance of Edward Elgar’s ‘The Dream of Gerontius,’ the society’s director, Dr. Guthrie (Fiennes), is forced to recruit his singers from among the town’s adolescent population.
Guthrie is a demanding taskmaster, yet under his guidance these teens will come to know the transcendent joys of singing together, while steeling themselves for their impending conscription.
Joined by fellow British acting legends Simon Russell Beale (“The Death of Stalin”) and Roger Allam (“The Wind That Shakes the Barley”), Fiennes is in top form here, embodying the proverbial stiff upper lip while allowing vulnerability to break through the veneer of reserve.
“The Choral” is a deftly executed period tale that reminds us of the importance of cultivating community and using art to process anxieties and generate hope.
