CINSSU Presents: Bang Bang Baby Special Presentation Q&A

CINSSU and Canadian Cinema Editors presents a special screening of Jeffrey St. Jules' Bang Bang Baby! Screening followed by Q&A with film editor, Matt Lyon!

"In the fictional Canadian town of Lonely Arms in 1963, sweet and prim high-schooler Stepphy Jane Levy devotedly cares for her alcoholic father Peter Stormare, tends to his auto-service shop, and, like most girls her age, adores heartthrob singer Bobby Shore. Having long dreamt of getting out of Lonely Arms and making it in the music biz, Stepphy seems one step closer when she is accepted into the American Ingnue Singing Competition in Manhattan until her father refuses to allow her to go. Miserable, her dreams dashed, and forced to fend off the advances of Fabian David Reale, the creepy proprietor of the local Purple Mist plant which has recently sprung a mysterious and ominous leak Stepphy seems stuck in her go-nowhere town for good until none other than Bobby Shore Justin Chatwin himself rolls into Lonely Arms with a car that needs repair.

Part parody of 1950s sci-fi films and musicals, part mad fever dream, and featuring a score of sweetly quirky pastiche songs like "I Love You Baby Doll," Bang Bang Baby is a darkly funny meditation on small-town dreams, the burden of family responsibilities, and chemical mutation." -TIFF
