The GOODS from The Cinematheque

Vancouver, BC | Made entirely in (Ukranian) sign language, presented without subtitles or voice over, festival sensation The Tribe is coming to The Cinematheque for an exclusive first run. Ukrainian prodigy Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy’s controversial, violent, astonishing debut follows a teenager newly enrolled at a boarding school for the deaf as he’s initiated into a brutal teenaged gang engaged in robbery, drugs, and prostitution.

“Boom. Just like that. Film is never the same” (Darren Aronofsky).

“I can’t stop thinking about it… One of this year’s strangest and most disturbing films” (The Guardian).

“Pretty much every single thing about The Tribe is impressive” (Sight & Sound)

“Going to The Cinematheque is the closest thing to visiting Manhattan without leaving Vancouver …. Its program is as innovative and entertaining as any you’ll find in New York.” David Spaner, The Province

“For the true cinema lover who appreciates foreign and independent retrospectives, restorations, experimental films, and rare or obscure works, the Cinematheque is a necessity.” Craig Takeuchi, The Georgia Straight

“Cinémathèques now take on a job parallel to what museums do with painting and sculpture.  They assemble, sort, analyze and exhibit the culture of the world.”  Robert Fulford, The Globe & Mail
