UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

Event closed

Canada's Oscar Submission, Best International Feature Film (2025)

Filmmaker Matthew Rankin introduces us to a charmingly impossible Canada where Persian and French are the two official languages, and loneliness is the common currency. Set in a reimagined Winnipeg, the film follows a group of children on eccentric quests to flummox the adults around them, and the government worker who returns home only to find his family is not what he remembered. Universal Language is a loving exploration of a diasporic nation, filtered through a deadpan comic sensibility that wll feel like a warm blanket to fans of Wes Anderson and Aki Kaurismaki.

Date: Wednesday March 19, 2025Time: 7:00PM

Location: SilverCity Newmarket Cinemas, 18195 Yonge St, East Gwillimbury, ON L9N 0H9, Canada
