SUMMARY:MY INTERNSHIP IN CANADA - 8PM
DESCRIPTION:December Screening\n\n\n \n\n\nMy Internship in Canada\n(Guibord s’en va-t-en guerre) \nScreening: Thursday\, December 17\, 2015 – 8pm\nTickets: Adults $10\, Senior/Senior $8\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop Street West\, Barrie\nWritten and Directed by: Philippe Falardeau\nCast: Patrick Huard\, Suzanne Clément and Irdens Exantus \nComedy\, PG\, 108 minutes\, French with English Subtitles (CANADA) \n“The performances are lived-in and the tone is refreshingly light. A genuine crowd-pleaser\, no matter what colour that sign on your lawn might be.” – Barry Hertz\, The Globe and Mail \n\n\n \nIn this satirical look at the vagaries of Canadian politics from Academy Award nominee and Film Circuit favourite Philippe Falardeau (The Good Lie\, Monsieur Lazhar\, C’est pas moi\, je le jure!)\, a Member of Parliament finds himself thrust suddenly into the spotlight\, and it’s up to his young Haitian intern to help the hapless backbencher navigate the complexities and pitfalls of Parliament Hill. A Conservative minority government trying to pass a bill that will enable them to go to war suffers a setback when one of the Tory MPs falls ill — leaving the key vote for the government’s warmongering initiative in the hands of independent MP Steve Guibord (Patrick Huard\, Starbuck\, Bon Cop Bad Cop)\, a former hockey player whose pro career fizzled. Not only a witty and incisive portrait of wheeling and dealing in Ottawa\, My Internship in Canada also exposes Canadians’ tendency to focus on the regional and specific at the expense of the wider picture. As Falardeau’s gently skewering satire demonstrates\, sometimes it takes a person from another country to explain to us the workings – and the value – of the unique system that makes our democracy (sometimes) function. \n  \n\n\nContact the following sponsoring restaurants to make your reservation and inquire about their special Barrie Film Festival Dinner & Movie Menu! \n\n\n\nGroovy Tuesdays Bistro \nProviding a Prix Fixe Menu\, 3 courses for $35 ea. \n705-721-0302 \n\n\nThe North Restaurant \nProviding a Prix Fixe Menu\, 3 courses for $35 ea. \n705-812-2192
