Join us for two National Film Board of Canada movies. The 2014 short is called Rainy Days. The 2014 feature documentary is called Where I’m From. Drop-In Movies.
Rainy Days – An elderly Japanese man boards a ferry bound for an unknown island. As he looks out over the water, the falling rain takes him back in time, to three crucial moments in his past. The only constant is the rain, a woman, and Mount Fuji.
Where I’m From (English subtitles) – This personal quest unfolds in the working-class neighbourhood of Verdun. Director Claude Demers revisits his childhood haunts and asks questions about the mysteries of his origins and formative years, which were marked by abandonment.
The Montreal borough and the magical banks of the Saint-Lawrence River provide the backdrop of Demers’ moving film’ which features Bastien and Cédric, two young boys who serve as the narrator’s alter egos as they discover the world around them.
