cinéma FRANCOPHONE cinema presents: L.A. Tea Time (2019, dir. Sophie Bedard Marcotte)
IICSI Director Dr. Eric Fillion is bringing his cinéma FRANCOPHONE cinema curated film series back to The Bookshelf Cinema (41 Quebec Street, Guelph, ON).
From January through April, Dr. Fillion will present one film per month. These four films share the common theme of Quebeckers on road trips through the deserts of the southwestern United States. This theme has a personal significance for Dr. Fillion, and so he looks forward to sharing these films with the local community. Intended for cinephiles and Francophones alike, these films (in French with subtitles) depict young protagonists as they hit the road as an escape and a respite, in search of thrills and adventure, connection and purpose, meaning and closure. The first film in this second iteration of the series will be L.A. Tea Time (2019), by Sophie Bedard Marcotte.
Each screening begins at 7 PM, with regular tickets costing $14 and member or student tickets priced at $11 (both are inclusive of taxes and fees). Dr. Fillion will introduce each film ahead of its showing.
L.A. Tea Time
Director: Sophie Bedard Marcotte
Year: 2019
Country: Canada (Quebec)
Running Time: 82 minutes
A filmmaker stuck in an arid, jobless Montreal winter embarks on an improbable quest across the United States of America, taking her director of photography along for the journey. L.A. Tea Time is an unusual travelogue, at times meditative, at times haunted, recounting the adventures of Sophie and Isabelle with humour and a little touch of magic.
