Ferron…girl on a road

(World Premiere)

Friday, May 29th, 2009 5pm
Director/Producer: Gerry Rogers
2009
Canada
77 min

Short Synopsis:
In this dynamic new film from director Gerry Rogers (“My Left Breast”), the road serves as both the metaphor for the direction of a life, and the literal narrative thread; tracing Ferron’s reunion with her band and their first concert trek together in over a decade.

“I did my best to follow the calling of my soul…”

So sings lesbian singer/songwriter pioneer Ferrron, from “Girl on a Road”. The Road…that ubiquitous metaphor, the chronicler of journeys. In this dynamic new film from director Gerry Rogers (“My Left Breast”), the road serves as both the metaphor for the direction of a life, and the literal narrative thread; tracing Ferron’s reunion with her band and their first concert trek together in over a decade.

Part performance film, part biopic, “Ferron: girl on a road” traces, the life, the songs, the loves, the heartbreaks, and the pioneering path carved by a true folk legend. Intimate, and sweeping all at once, this film movies beyond “chronicle” and capture in word and deed, the essence of a visionary artist, and the soul of an icon.

Clapham Junction

Friday, May 29th, 7pm
Director: Adrian Shergold
2007
UK
120 min

Short Synopsis:
36 hours in the lives of a number of gay men in Clapham, South London.
From a civil partnership ceremony to a heated dinner party, five stories are woven into London from school and work, to bars and clubs, during one hot summer’s night.
Certainly not a happy picture, but one that is notable for its deft filmmaking and outstanding performances, Clapham Junction follows the overlapping stories of a number of gay men whose lives intersect through a senseless act of brutality over the course of one late summer weekend in London. Principal Cast: Tom Beard, James Bellamy, Robin Berry, Rachael Blake, Samantha Bond.
