Indie Film Series @ Capitol 6 #16

ONE NIGHT ONLY! VICTORIA PREMIERE!

Vancouver International Film Festival - Official Selection

100% Rating on Rotten Tomatoes!

“An acrobatic, larkish globetrotting adventure about paintings and psychotherapy that defies easy categorization save inclusion on any adult animation fan's must-see list.” -- Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

“An animated joyride.” -- Boyd van Hoeij, Hollywood Reporter

“Seek this one out as one of the most visually imaginative films of the year. A mashup of noir, heist, action, and surrealist films yields a wholly original concept.” -- Alan French, AwardsCircuit.com

“Fuelled by a propulsive orchestral score, the film gracefully alternates between the atmosphere of an early Louis Feuillade crime serial and the breathless, high-octane action of a Mission: Impossible entry. (The lengthy opening chase through the streets and canals of Paris will set pulses pounding from the get-go.)” -- Vancouver International Film Festival

ABOUT: Ruben Brandt, a famous psychotherapist, is forced to steal 13 paintings from the world's renowned museums and private collections to prevent his suffering from terrible nightmares he has as a result of subliminal messaging he received as a child. Accompanied by his four patients, he and his band of thieves strike regularly and with great success: the Louvre, Tate, Uffizi, Hermitage, the Museum of Modern Art. "The Collector" quickly becomes the most wanted criminal in the world. Gangsters and headhunters chase him around the world while the reward for his capture keeps rising, approaching a hundred million dollars. A cartel of insurance companies entrusts Mike Kowalski, a private detective and leading expert on art theft, to solve the "Collector Case."

(94 minutes, Rated PG)

Presented with the short film ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR from the National Film Board of Canada:

Dealing with what comes naturally isn’t easy, especially for animals. In Animal Behaviour, the latest animated short from the Oscar®-winning team of Alison Snowden and David Fine (BOB’S BIRTHDAY), five animals meet regularly to discuss their inner angst in a group therapy session led by Dr. Clement, a canine psychotherapist. The group includes Lorraine, a leech who suffers from separation anxiety; Cheryl, a praying mantis who can’t seem to keep a man; Todd, a pig with an eating disorder; Jeffrey, a bird with guilt issues; and Linda, an obsessive-compulsive cat.

(14 minutes, Rated G)
