I’m Still Here
Showing Friday April 25th at 7pm (doors and concession open at 6:30pm).
2024/ Rated PG/ 2h17m/ with clear subtitles/ Directed by Walter Salles
As Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship, Eunice Paiva, a mother of five, must reinvent herself and her family when authorities abduct her husband.
Originally titled Ainda Estou Aqui, this film won Brazil the Best International Feature award at this year’s Oscars. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries), the film is based on true events depicting a moment in Brazilian history of great upheaval and injustice.
The Club Concession is open from 6:30-7pm with hot buttered popcorn, baking, treats and beverages, maybe we’ll even have the old I-talian espresso machine all fired up!
Thank you to everyone for coming along to the..
2nd annual Cowichan Valley Documentary Film Festival
We saw a wide variety of films, including local filmmaker Michelle Tremblay’s new film about community supported fishery in the Cowichan region and a film everyone should see, the award-winning Sugarcane. The festival concession provided delicious food and baking and it was great to see people having a good time together.
All of it would not be possible without the great attendance, the wonderful volunteers and our sponsors - Dinter Nursery, the Valley Voice, the National Film Board of Canada, and of course a place to hold the festival - The HUB at Cowichan Station.
We hope to see you next year for more Docs on the big screen. Thank you for helping to make this community fundraising event a success!
