KAWARTHA LAKES-The volunteers who make Films by the Falls in Fenelon Falls possible not only love movies they know a good one when they see it.
Academy Award winning Best Picture, Parasite, is coming to Films by the Falls next Tuesday. The film also won Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
The movie follows the members of a poor family who scheme to become employed by a wealthy family by infiltrating their household and posing as unrelated, highly qualified individuals.
According to the producters the Ki-taek’s family of four is close, but fully unemployed, with a bleak future ahead of them. The son Ki-woo is recommended by his friend, a student at a prestigious university, for a well-paid tutoring job, spawning hopes of a regular income. Carrying the expectations of all his family, Ki-woo heads to the Park family home for an interview. Arriving at the house of Mr. Park, the owner of a global IT firm, Ki-woo meets Yeon-kyo, the beautiful young lady of the house. But following this first meeting between the two families, an unstoppable string of mishaps lies in wait.
The Kawartha Lakes Film Circuit was formed in 2013 by a group of volunteers who are the curating team behind Films by the Falls, a film series and a member of the TIFF Film Circuit. The first Films by the Falls screening was held on March 25, 2014 at Fenelon Falls Secondary School.
