The South Western International Film Festival presents INCENDIES--screening at 4:00PM on Friday, November 3rd, 2017 at the Imperial Theatre.

Director Denis Villeneuve worked for five years to bring Lebanese-Canadian writer Wadji Mouawad’s award-winning play to the screen, and the result was one of the most acclaimed Canadian features of the decade, earning eight Genies and an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. Deftly shifting between two timelines, INCENDIES tells the story of fraternal twins, Jeanne (Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin) and Simon (POLYTECHNIQUE’s Maxim Gaudette), who are trying to fulfill their mother Nawal’s (Lubna Azabal) dying wish to locate two lost family members. Their quest, which takes them from Montreal to an unnamed Middle Eastern country patterned after Lebanon, is intercut with scenes set in the 1970s depicting Nawal’s difficult adolescence in the midst of a religious civil war. The complexity of the plot is offset by the stark, haunting clarity of Villeneuve’s imagery: swimmers moving through a pool, child soldiers being shorn for battle, a school bus in flames against a desert backdrop. 

“Muscular, emotional filmmaking of the highest order” (The Guardian).

The South Western International Film Festival presents PARIS, TEXAS-- screening at 1:00PM on Friday, November 3rd, 2017 at the Imperial Theatre.

Featuring some of the most iconic images of the American Southwest ever captured on film, Wim Wenders’ masterpiece stars the late Harry Dean Stanton as Travis, an amnesiac who, after going walkabout in the South Texas desert, begins a journey with his son to find Jane, Travis’ wife, who has long been missing.
Winning the Palme d’Or at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival, PARIS, TEXAS remains a massively influential classic for its legendary performances, its human portrait of America, and a script by L. M. Kit Carson and Sam Shephard that redefined the road movie as a heartbreaking emotional voyage that dreams big and delivers even bigger.

The South Western International Film Festival presents DETROIT--screening at 7:30PM on Thursday, Nov. 2, 2017 at the Imperial Theatre.

On the night of July 25-26, 1967, during Detroit’s “long, hot summer” of racial tension and racially charged riots, three young black men—Aubrey Pollard, Carl Cooper, and Fred Temple, each of them civilians—were murdered by white police in the Algiers Motel. Nearly a dozen other people were gravely injured in the same incident that has remained a painful chapter in contemporary American history.
In DETROIT, director Kathryn Bigelow (THE HURT LOCKER, ZERO DARK THIRTY)’s latest film, this harrowing event unfolds in an incredible dramatization that is difficult to watch but impossible to ignore, given the firestorm political climate in the United States, the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the international conversation about police killings.
