Join us for two National Film Board of Canada movies. The short is called No Fish Where To Go. The 2014 feature documentary is called Guidelines. Drop-In Movies.

No Fish Where To Go centers on a little girl who is forced to leave home with her family, but her painful exodus is illuminated by the friendship of a schoolgirl who belongs to another clan.

Guidelines explores the world of adolescence through a series of tableaux that illustrate the occasionally trying existence of young people at a rural secondary school.

During closed-door meetings, the teens interact with various authority figures whose job it is to "set them straight." Outside classroom hours, though, they regain control of their world, the natural surroundings becoming a playground where they can test the limits of their temporary freedom.

A work of patient observation relying mostly on uninterrupted long takes, Guidelines emphasizes the contrasts between the regulated environment of the classroom and the beckoning freedom of the great outdoors, gradually revealing the interior drama of adolescence, with its shifts from fragility to reckless abandon.

The result is an original yet universal portrayal of a sometimes overwhelming life journey that we all take.
