Presented by the Grand River Film Festival, in partnership with TIFF Film Circuit, CineSeries is a film program bringing the best of Canadian and world cinema to Cambridge on select Wednesdays, September to April, at Cambridge Centre’s Galaxy Theatre.

Join us on Wednesday, October 30 at 7:30 pm with a screening of AND THE BIRDS RAINED DOWN – The latest from Louise Archambault (Film Circuit favourite Gabrielle), adapted from the acclaimed novel by Jocelyne Saucier, follows a group of octogenarians who have decided to live on their own terms in the wilderness of northern Quebec. The film presents a story of intertwined destinies, compassion, and love, as well as the power of taking one’s life into his or her own hands.

Living life like a fable, three aging hermits – Tom (Rémy Girard), Charlie (Gilbert Sicotte), and Ted (Kenneth Welsh) – dwell in a Quebec forest and spend their days tending to the cannabis crops owned by a their closest neighbour (Éric Robidoux) when not skinny-dipping. However, their idyll is disrupted by a sudden death in their chosen family and the arrival of two interlopers: a photographer (Eve Landry) with too many questions about a past tragedy and a senior woman (Andrée Lachapelle) with a surplus of secrets.
