1: Monday Night at the Movies: Black Sun
8 pm, Tofino Clayoquot Theatre Directed by Gary Tam
When assailants fling paint thinner into Hugues de Montalembert’s eyes
during a brutal home invasion, the French artist’s world is suddenly plunged
into darkness. In this haunting, first-person documentary, de Montalembert
narrates his long journey back from that abyss: the painful months of rehab,
the strange, erotic visions, his attempts to reassert his independence and eventually
attain a different kind of vision, reclaiming his identity as an artist.Jury
Prizes at Newport and Sarasota Film Fests. |

15: The Power of Community - How Cuba Survived Peak Oil
8
pm, Tofino Clayoquot Theatre. Directed by Faith Morgan
With help from the director of End of Suburbia comes this film exploring
how the Cubans dealt with the dramatic reduction of fossil fuels after the fall
the Soviet Union in 1990. During this “Special Period”, as
the Cubans call it, the country underwent a transition from large farms using
fuel-based pesticides and fertilizers to small organic farms and urban gardens. One
of the goals of the film is to give hope to the developed world as it wakes up
to the consequences of being hooked on oil. It’s a story of the Cubans’ dedication
to independence and triumph over adversity, and a story of cooperation and hope.

8
pm, Tofino Clayoquot Theatre. Directed by Amir Bar-Lev
Think your kid is good at art? This film takes a close look at the Olmstead
family, whose 4-year daughter Marla rocketed from total obscurity into international
renown -- and sold over $300,000 worth of paintings. Through no intention
of her own, Marla revived the age-old question, “What is art?” After
reaching the heights of fame, Marla’s father was accused of producing the
paintings himself. The family hired the director to clear their name; this
film is the result. |
