Pontypool - National Canadian Film Day Screening

description

NATIONAL CANADIAN FILM DAY SCREENING! (Free Admission)

Grant Mazzy (Stephen McHattie, WATCHMEN, A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE) is a big-city shock radio DJ who has lost his job and moves to the small Ontario town of Pontypool, where he frustrates his new station manager, Sydney (Lisa Houle, EJECTA). Nothing ever happens in Pontypool, so when Mazzy arrives at the station to start his show one wintry morning, he and his team are surprised by strange reports from town. The station’s tiny crew find themselves holed up in their church basement studio, trying to piece together what’s happening outside as disturbing details pour in. Callers are making very little sense, and it seems like the English language itself is infected with a strange virus.

Please join us for a super special National Canadian Film Day Screening, with Director Bruce McDonald and actor Stephen McHattie in attendance.
