FELIX & MEIRA – MARCH 21: New and improved... now with English subtitles!
After the surprise of the film festival, we are pleased to announce that we will be showing this film in a format for all our audience on March 21st. IN ROOM 1-306 AT CNC... THIS IS NOT AT THE PLAYHOUSE.
We are in a bit of a pickle, logistically, but in the spirit of positivity we will rely on the good nature of our audience to help us out. If you held a ticket for Felix and Meira at the film festival, you can return and watch the movie for free. If you received a refund, please don't... you are welcome to purchase a ticket... as would be anyone else who would like to come to this film. Those who missed the festival and would like to make up for it, here's your chance. Everybody is welcome.
We will have two screenings, 7 pm and 9:30 and will do our best to accommodate everyone. If you are coming for free to the 7 show, please arrive by 6:45 to ensure a seat [otherwise you will need to come at 9:30 if we sell out].
All tickets will be $8, except for those who already have a ticket. [or had a ticket... we understand the issue and trust you]
Regardless, this is good news, and we hope that everyone can make it to these screenings.
Here's a re-visit of the film description:
FELIX & MEIRA
Dir: Maxime Giroux 105 minutes
French/English/Yiddish
Cast: Martin Dubreuil, Hadas Yaron, Luzer Twersky
An unusual romance blossoms between two lost souls who inhabit the same neighbourhood but vastly different worlds. Meira, a young Hasidic Jewish mother in Montreal's Mile End district, secretly rebels against her faith by listening to soul music and taking birth control pills; Félix is a loner grieving the recent death of his estranged father.
Intrigued by Meira, Félix hopes her religious devotion will provide insight into his loss, and though she rebuffs him at first, a mutual affection soon arises between the two. As Meira's desire for change becomes harder for her to hide, the young woman is faced with a stark choice: remain within the community she has always known, or pursue an uncertain future outside of it.
