We're feeling jazzed about this upcoming week at the Playhouse. We kick off Friday with a run of Stan & Ollie, the new Laurel & Hardy biopic starring two comic geniuses in their own right, Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly. Also starting Friday is the new doc The World Before Your Feet, featuring Matt Green, a modern pilgrim who embarked on walking every street in New York. Giving up his home and belongings, he's been at this trek for 6 years (and he and the film's director have recorded a special intro just for our Playhouse patrons!) Also, we're super-thrilled to have Anita Joldersma on hand for a few of the screenings to talk briefly about her 4 years walking every street in Hamilton. She says she's OCD but we just think she's determined! Don't miss the Oscar-nominated Scandinavian feature, Border, which plays for only 3 shows; it is out of the ordinary and unforgettable. On Wed. Mar 27, there will be a special (brief!) presentation before The Shining: Andrew Hunter will introduce Kubrick’s horror classic by illuminating the intriguing presence of Canadian art, including four prominent paintings by Alex Colville, throughout the film. We can't wait to learn more about that revelation! Finally, celebrate the end of winter by Finding Hygge with us. Co-presented by The Pale Blue Dot. For all you Buster Keaton fans out there (we know there are lots) don't miss The Great Buster, a new documentary about one of the greatest of them all. For almost 30 years annually we have been presenting the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (aka 'World's Best Commercials'). These have been a perennial favourite with our audiences, and we're thrilled to bring the 2018 edition to the Playhouse!
