What's New
Shandi Mitchell, recipient of the 2012 Kobzar Literary Award, has a film debuting this Friday in Toronto.
ONE NIGHT ONLY. ONE SCREENING. The Disappeared will screen at the fabulous Royal theatre, FRIDAY, March 22, at 7:00pm as part of the Canadian Film Festival.
And today The Torontoist released this about the film:
More successful is Friday evening's feature, The Disappeared, from award-winning author-turned-filmmaker Shandi Mitchell. An account of six men adrift in the North Atlantic and their increasingly desperate struggle against exhaustion and the elements, her spare, intimate narrative is a welcome humanist counterpoint to the laboured spiritualism of fellow high-seas survival flick Life of Pi. And while it lacks the CGI pyrotechnics of Ang Lee's visual-effects Oscar winner, The Disappeared amply compensates with compelling performances from a cast of talented character actors, including east-coast natives Brian Downey and Shawn Doyle.
It also benefits from Christopher Porter's immersive cinematography, captured entirely on location on the open ocean.
