Collins Hall, Bowen Island

109 minutes

Rated PG-13

Adapted from Alice Munro's short story "The Bear Came Over the Mountain", this film is a complex portrayal of a 44-year marriage, elevated by impeccable performances from veteran actors Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent. Making her feature directorial debut, 28-year-old Canadian actor Sarah Polley offers a particularly deep and sensitive treatment of difficult subject matter, yet she claims "...this is not a film about Alzheimer's." Selected for festival appearances at Sundance, Toronto, Portland and beyond, Away From Her has also won numerous awards for acting and directing.
