After piecing together footage gathered in Nova Scotia over the past 10 years with relevant bits of text. filmmaker Jem Cohen is unveiling his latest project We Have An Anchor at TIFF Bell Lightbox (350 King West) on Tuesday and Wednesday (December 4 and 5) at 8 pm.
Being that music has played such an integral role in all of Cohen's visual features, it should come as no great surprise that We Have An Anchor has an exceptional soundtrack – in this case performed live with a stellar cast of Cohen's musician pals including Guy Picciotto (Fugazi); Jim White (Dirty Three); Efrim Menuck and Sophie Trudeau (Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra) and T. Griffin (The Quavers). As an added treat, supernatural vocals will be provided by Toronto's own Mary Margaret O'Hara who not coincidentally stars in Cohen's most recent feature film Museum Hours which had it's North American premiere at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
Advance tickets are $30 for each night available via the Images Festival online store www.imagesfestival.com or at the Lightbox box office (open daily from 10 am to 10 pm), Rotate This and Soundscapes. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $40 on the day of show. Those hoping to grab an iPhone pic for their Facebook page with Jem Cohen or a member of his celebrated cast of musicians can purchase VIP tickets for $50 which provides access to a special meet-and-greet session before the screening.
