Stories We Tell + Distant Islands—O Canada Film Series

STORIES WE TELL(Sarah Polley, 2012, DCP, 108 mins)
DISTANT ISLANDS (Bettina Maylone, 1981, DCP, 6 mins)
These two looks at the mysteries of family and memory show us how we stitch together the stories of our pasts, partly through truth, partly through invention. Polley’s cinematic memoir has been called “an enthralling, exquisitely layered masterpiece” (Brian D. Johnson) and “a gripping and absorbing meditation on the unknowability of other lives” (Peter Bradshaw). STORIES WE TELL DCP from Roadside Attractions, DISTANT ISLANDS DCP from the National Film Board of Canada.
