4pm Matinee Film Screening:FLOW
(Gints Zilbalodis, 2024, 85 min, Latvia/Belgium/France, No dialogue, DCP)
A wondrous journey through realms natural and mystical, Flow follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. Rendered on the free and open-source software Blender and containing no dialogue, FLOW had its world premiere at the Un Certain Regard section of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it received critical acclaim.
-- Nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Animated Feature at the 97th Academy Awards
“Zilbalodis’ film [is] a rich visual blend of adventure tale and ecological parable that will enchant and enthrall viewers no matter what their age or animal preference.” – Jason Anderson, TIFF
“As we confront our imminent climate crisis and the many other cataclysms that plague our reality, we’ll only have each other to make it through. FLOW boasts a hopeful outlook; it suggests these storms won’t be permanent and that the deer will freely run through the forest again. Life, in all its splendor and blameless tragedy, will, indeed, flow.” – Carlos Aguilar, RogerEbert.com
