SUMMARY:NFB Short Film Fest - 12PM
DESCRIPTION:Barrie International Comedy Festival presents: \nThe NFB Short Film Fest \nSeptember 19\, 2015 at 12:00pm\nPark Place Theatre at the Mady Centre for the Performing Arts\, 1 Dunlop St. W.\nTickets: Reserved seating $16.64\nFor ticket information click here.\nLunch available but not included in ticket price. \nThe BFF is partnering with Talk Is Free Theatre for a selection of the best comedic short films from the 75 Year history of the NFB. \nFilm Line-up: \n \nCanada Vignettes: Log Driver’s Waltz\nJohn Weldon\, 1979\, 3 min \nThis lighthearted\, animated short is based on the song “The Log Driver’s Waltz” by Wade Hemsworth. Easily one of the most often-requested films in the NFB collection\, Kate and Anna McGarrigle sing along to the tale of a young girl who loves to dance and chooses to marry a log driver over his more well-to-do competitor. Driving logs down the river has made the young man the best dancing partner to be found. \n\n \nGetting Started\nRichard Condie\, 1979\, 12 min 22 s \nThis hilarious short animated film stars a man who procrastinates. Our hero attempts to practice a piece of music on the piano\, but distractions get in the way. When he finally sits down to play\, pandemonium breaks loose. \n\nMy Financial Career\nGerald Potterton\, 1962\, 6 min 30 s \nAn animated film based on Stephen Leacock’s witty account of a young man’s first brush with banking. When he tries to make his deposit\, he is so intimidated by the institution that nothing he says comes out right. \n\n \nThe Railrodder\nGerald Potterton\, 1965\, 24 min 47 s \nThis short film from director Gerald Potterton (Heavy Metal) stars Buster Keaton in one of the last films of his long career. As “the railrodder”\, Keaton crosses Canada from east to west on a railway track speeder. True to Keaton’s genre\, the film is full of sight gags as our protagonist putt-putts his way to British Columbia. Not a word is spoken throughout\, and Keaton is as spry and ingenious at fetching laughs as he was in the old days of the silent slapsticks. \n
