Two early works by Atom Egoyan [double feature]
SPEAKING PARTS
1989, Canada, 93 minutes, 35mm, Zeitgeist Films
Written and directed by Atom Egoyan
Starring Michael McManus, Arsinée Khanjian, Gabrielle Rose, Tony Nardi
Wed & Thu: 7:30 pm
Synopsis courtesy of Zeitgeist Films:
A postmodern thriller about loss, love, power and the distance that modern technology puts between us. The story of four peoplean actor/gigolo, a frustrated chambermaid, an obsessed writer and the film producer who manipulates them allis filmed as if we were watching their power games through the lens of a surveillance camera. Disquieting and enthralling, it confirmed Egoyan's status as one of the most talented directors of his generation.

PLUS, on the same program:
FAMILY VIEWING
1987, Canada, 96 minutes, 35mm, Zeitgeist Films
Written and directed by Atom Egoyan
Starring David Hemblen, Aidan Tierney, Gabrielle Rose, Arsinée Khanjian
Wed & Thu: 9:25 pm
Synopsis courtesy of Zeitgeist Films:
The fractured family of FAMILY VIEWING consists of Stan, a mild sexual sadist; Sandra, his live-in mistress and video bondage partner; and his 17-year old son Van. Van's deep resentment of his father becomes the catalyst of a plot to free his beloved grandmother from an old age home and establish a new, blissfully "happy" family. Egoyan weaves an ironic tale of characters who seem most alive when they're captured on videotape.
