]]> Kyle Thomas’ 2011 short film Not Far From The Abattoir has been selected for a retrospective screening of important Canadian works at the world’s most prestigious short film festival in Clermont-Ferrand, France in February 2019.

A classic from the early days of North Country Cinema, Not Far From The Abattoir was written and directed by Kyle Thomas, produced by Thomas and Cameron Macgowan, with cinematography by Alexander Carson.

]]> North Country Cinema’s second feature film, O, Brazen Age, will have its World Premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival later this month! We’re very excited to be returning to VIFF with Alexander Carson’s long-form directorial debut.

O, Brazen Age is part coming-of-age story, part art-cinema meditation on photography, memory, and souvenirs. The film creates a tender and haunting portrait of friendship and faith in the 21st century, following a group of Toronto artists in their twenties on a search for new mythologies, invoking a cinematic landscape where classical literature collides with new wave aesthetics and 90’s pastiche.

Sunday Sept 27, 7:00 pm at Vancity Theatre

Tuesday Sept 29, 4:15 pm at The Cinematheque

Cast and crew will be in attendance for both screenings. Full trailer, poster, and more news coming soon!
