The Stairs
Congratulations to NB Film Co-op member Cam Woykin who has a film he was involved with (cinematographer) screening in Winnipeg this week.
Cam will be in Winnipeg for the opening of The Stairs (this Thursday through Sunday at the Cinematheque).
“One of the best documentaries of the year, The Stairs, directed by Toronto-based filmmaker Hugh Gibson, is a profoundly empathetic look at three drug addicts cooperating with a harm reduction program at Toronto’s Regent Park Community Health Centre. Gibson follows these characters over the course of five years, and first and foremost lets the viewer get to know them as people rather than “users” — the film only shows them taking drugs long after we’ve grown to care for their personalities. One can sense the deep sense of trust between filmmaker and subject here, and how it organically emerged over time. Refreshingly devoid of the sort of drug porn you might find in lesser films, The Stairs has an intelligence and humanism reminiscent of Allan King, paying attention to people, their behaviour and self-articulation, without trying to fit the material into some convenient message-driven box.” – Adam Cook, Filmmaker

CINEMA POLITICA PRESENTS
Dec. 1- Cinema Politica screens: "This Changes Everything"
"This Changes Everything" (Avi Lewis / CA-USA / 2015 / 89 ') screens on Friday, Dec. 1st at 7:00pm at Conserver House, 180 Saint John St., Fredericton.
An urgent dispatch on climate change that eschews the abstract and rhetorical in favour of the personal and immediate. With Naomi Klein serving as narrator and guide, the film explores how our violent disregard for our planet has endangered both it and ourselves and how resisting this abuse and opposing the forces that propagate it can have a profound — even revolutionary — impact upon the makeup of our society.
All are welcome. Films are followed by an optional discussion. Screenings are free but donations welcome. Conserver House location is wheelchair accessible but the washrooms are up the stairs. This is Cinema Politica Fredericton's 10th season!
