The South Western International Film Festival presents THE SQUARE--screening at 9:00PM on Saturday, November 4th, 2017 at the Imperial Theatre.

In FORCE MAJEURE, Swedish director Ruben Östlund examined the comic implications of the Bystander Effect at a ski resort following the aftermath of an avalanche. In THE SQUARE, Östlund has taken his hilarious brand of social commentary to a completely new summit: The art world.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes this year, this riotously strange comedy follows Christian (Claes Bang), the head curator of a contemporary art museum in Sweden, who, after getting pickpocketed, embarks on a quest to track down who stole his cell phone. Getting in the way of this is the museum’s latest installation, a hyped-up, much-discussed project which becomes the centrepiece of a movie that repeatedly asks: What if art goes too far?

Daring, shocking, and downright astonishing, THE SQUARE isn’t just a movie that demands conversation: It’s also one of the funniest movies of the year.

The South Western International Film Festival presents THE FLORIDA PROJECT--screening at 6:30PM on Saturday, November 4th, 2017 at the Imperial Theatre.

With 2015’s TANGERINE, director Sean Baker took a mighty risk: He shot a movie entirely on an iPhone 5S, with a limited budget of $100,000. Winning awards from critics and making nearly $800,000 at the box office, it’s safe to say the experiment was fruitful. It’s also clear Hollywood took note. Casting his first major named role with Willem Dafoe, THE FLORIDA PROJECT, Baker’s follow-up, is a breathtaking, fascinating exploration of youthful innocence in the adult world. Audiences will immediately shine to Brooklynn Prince, the precocious, intelligent, energetic child actor behind Moonee, the six-year-old protagonist in this multi-layered story told from her point-of-view as she roams throughout her Orlando neighbourhood, having fun and causing trouble. 

Like TANGERINE, THE FLORIDA PROJECT makes its own rules in how it tells its story. Baker only asks that you follow along for the ride.

The South Western International Film Festival presents NEW CHEFS ON THE BLOCK--screening at 4:00PM on Saturday, November 4th, 2017 at the Imperial Theatre.

Opening a restaurant is hard. Maintaining a steady stream of loyal customers? Even harder.

In Dustin Harrison-Atlas’ delicious debut documentary, watch as two restaurateurs in Washington, DC—Frank Linn of Frankly… Pizza!, and Aaron Silverman of Rose’s Luxury—put on their aprons and risk mountains of debt in an attempt to realize their entrepreneurial dreams.

NEW CHEFS ON THE BLOCK also provides some food for thought: In the era of the digital restaurant review, could a two-star rating topple everything these chefs have worked so hard for?

You’ve seen cooking shows and kitchen nightmares. Here, Harrison-Atlas takes us behind-the-scenes of the behind-the-scenes, showing us just how gruelling gastronomical endeavours—especially on the business side of things—can be.
