Global Visions Film Festival and Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival are pleased to announce that the April installment of the Doc Soup monthly screening series will feature the Edmonton premiere of OCTOBER COUNTRY (USA, 88 minutes) by co-directors Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher. Categorized as an example of " Reality Televisions for Smart People" by the Huffington Post, OCTOBER COUNTRY will screen on Thursday, April 1, at 7:00 p.m. at the Metro Cinema, Zeidler Hall in the Citadel Theatre, 9828 – 101A Avenue.
OCTOBER COUNTRY is a haunting multi-generational story of a working-class family coping with poverty, teen pregnancy, foster care and the ineffable horrors of child molestation and war. A co-directing effort by filmmaker Michael Palmieri and photographer and writer Donal Mosher, it follows Donal's family in Herkimer, New York from one Halloween to the next, resulting in a beautifully crafted film remarkable for its intimacy, sensitivity and textured portrait of a family in crisis that has become all too familiar, if not representative, of America's poor.
The film maybe of interest to many Edmonton audience members interested or impacted by issues and ideas around family, poverty, generational history and the collateral affects of abuse, teen pregnancy, war and dysfunction.
