Description

Project Grizzy

When Troy Hurtubise was attacked by a grizzly bear in 1984, he decided that he would never be a victim again and set about constructing an armoured suit that could withstand a grizzly attack. Built out of titanium, rubber and chain mail, and supported by interior air bags, the 145-pound (66-kilogram) suit (with Hurtubise often in it) is clobbered by baseball bats, thrown off cliffs and hit by a pickup truck. Seen around the world and even spoofed on The Simpsons, Project Grizzly has become a cult favourite. Watch the trailer here.

Brotherhood

The dramatic fictionalized account of the true story of a group of youth at a summer camp on Balsam Lake in the Kawartha Lakes, who had to fight for survival when an unforeseen thunderstorm overwhelmed their canoe trip. Watch the trailer here.

This is Not a Test

In this thrilling twist on a zombie apocalypse, a group of teenagers barricade themselves into their high school to stave off hordes of zombies. Based on the popular YA novel of the same name by Courtney Summers. Watch the trailer here.

Youngblood

Dean Youngblood, a top hockey prospect in the minor leagues, faces the prospect of his career ending early when he’s suspended for an on-ice incident. Given a new chance on a new team, he has to face his aggression head-on to get back on track and lead his team to a championship.

Drawing inspiration from the 80s cult classic of the same name, Director Hubert Davis expertly captures the drama both on and off the ice, with incredible performances and exhilarating hockey sequences. Watch the trailer here.

The Movie Man

Keith Stata’s Highland Cinemas in Kinmount, ON is probably the most unique and eccentric cinema in the world. Faced with the unexpected rupture caused by the global pandemic, this wistful documentary follows Stata’s efforts to keep it alive while demonstrating what makes this place such a beloved and essential institution.
