[CCC] CCC - Canadian film series at Arts Picturehouse

[Ariane McCabe]

Hey all!

In addition to the Coupland film that the CCC is checking out next  
week - (Everything's Gone Green followed by pub night! - 28 March),  
the Arts Picturehouse has a Canadian film series on. Check out the  
upcoming programme http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/

The series includes:

The Journals of Knud Rasmussen - Sunday 25 March 2007 - 2:45
This is the gorgeous second feature by the filmmakers of the  
critically acclaimed and award winning ATANARJUAT. In Igoolik, in  
1922, one of the last great Inuit shamans and his daughter struggle  
to find a balance between their people's traditions and the  
Christianity that is infiltrating their land. This richly innovative  
and exquisitely shot film about the clash of civilisations is told  
through the eyes of Knud Johan Victor Rasmussen, the Danish  
adventurer and ethnographer who crossed the Northwest Passage by  
dogsled.

Everything's Gone Green - Wednesday 28 March 2007 - 6:30
EVERYTHING'S GONE GREEN is the first screenplay by world-renowned  
Canadian author Douglas Coupland, who defined the voice of a  
generation with his book Generation X. Paulo Constanzo stars as a  
loveable young slacker who has an opinion about everything but who  
excels at doing a lot of nothing - which puts him at odds with the  
overachievers surrounding him in Vancouver's yuppie, capitalist  
culture. But soon he gives in - with chaotic consequences - to the  
forces of the green stuff in this sly and clever commentary on the  
times.

Bon Cop, Bad Cop - Sunday 1 April 2007 - 5:00
The delightfully comical BON COP, BAD COP wowed audiences and  
recently became the highest grossing Canadian film of all time. This  
buddy cop romp with a distinctly Canadian flavour follows the hijinks  
of two policemen, from English and French Canada respectively, forced  
to work together across provincial borders to solve a lurid crime in  
the glamorous world of ice-hockey. Their rocky relationship causes  
more than a few problems as they attempt to solve the case and issues  
in their personal lives, all of which is captured with cinematic  
finesse and a savvy sense of humour.

Hard Core Logo - Wednesday 4 April 2007 - 6:30
HARD CORE LOGO has achieved cult status as a unique entry into the  
zany genre of the mock rockumentary. Legendary Canadian filmmaker  
Bruce McDonald takes his camera on the road with the punk band Hard  
Core Logo as they desperately try to keep their fame alive on a tour  
through Western Canada. The ragtag group is held together by the  
sheer tenacity of lead singer Joe Dick, but even his iron will might  
not be enough as the tension builds, in hilarious fashion, during  
their crazy time on the road.

Hopefully see you there!
