DESCRIPTION:Timbuktu \nScreening: Wednesday\, June 3\, 2015 – 4pm\nTickets: Adults $10\, Senior/Senior $8\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop Street West\, Barrie\nDirected by: Abderrahmane Sissako\nCast: Abel Jafri\, Toulou Kiki\, Ibrahim Ahmed\nDrama\, 14A for some violence and mature thematic elements\, 97 minutes\, Language: English\, Arabic\, French\, Tamashek\, Bombara and Songhay with English subtitles (FRANCE/MAURITANIA/MALI) \n  \n“A lovely if sad story of contrasts one will not soon forget.” – Jean Lowerison\, ReviewExpress.com\n \n“Even though the atrocities committed by radical jihadists dominate the headlines and airwaves\, few in the West know what it’s like to live under their reign. Timbuktu…is a moving\, haunting and beautifully shot peek behind the closed cultural curtain.” – Cary Darling\, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com \n  \nNot far from the ancient Malian city of Timbuktu\, now ruled by the religious fundamentalists\, proud cattle herder Kidane (Ibrahim Ahmed aka Pino) lives peacefully in the dunes with his wife Satima (Toulou Kiki)\, his daughter Toya (Layla Walet Mohamed)\, and Issan (Mehdi Ag Mohamed)\, their twelve-year-old shepherd. In town\, the people suffer\, powerless\, from the regime of terror imposed by the Jihadists determined to control their faith. Music\, laughter\, cigarettes\, even soccer have been banned. The women have become shadows but resist with dignity. Every day\, the new improvised courts issue tragic and absurd sentences. Kidane and his family are being spared the chaos that prevails in Timbuktu. But their destiny changes abruptly in this stunningly rendered film from a master of world cinema. \n  \nAwards: \nNominated\, Best Foreign Language Film\, Academy Awards\, 2015\nWon\, Best World Cinema\, African-American Film Critics Association\, 2014\nNominated\, Best Arabic Film\, Cairo International Film Festival\, 2014\nWon\, François Chalais Award\, Cannes Film Festival\, 2014\nWon\, Best Director\, Chicago International Film Festival\, 2014\nWon\, Best Film\, Best Director\, Best Original Screenplay\, Best Original Music\, Best Sound\, César Awards\, 2015 \n
