Featured Film:
Fail to Appear at the Northwest Film Forum
The Film Forum kicks off a month of amazing programming this week with a miniseries devoted to New Canadian cinema, some of the most exciting independent films being made anywhere in the world right now. We’ve been following the Future//Present series at the Vancouver International Film Festival since its inception, and the NWFF is playing several of its best films, starting this Wednesday with Fail to Appear, a fascinating drama about a young social worker and her client. It’s paired with the excellent short film Scaffold, which follows a pair of construction workers (or, more specifically their hands and feet) as they work on someone’s home. The series continues on Thursday with the off-beat and beguiling The Intestine, and runs through Sunday, April 8th.
