SUMMARY:FILM Kicks presents: 'The Other Side of Hope'
DESCRIPTION:'The Other Side of Hope' starring Finland’s master of deadpan comedy\, Aki Kaurismäki (Lights in the Dusk\, Le Havre)\, is the story of an unlikely friendship between a Syrian asylum seeker and an elderly Finnish restaurant owner. Worthy winner of the 2017 Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director\, it’s a beautiful\, timely film from one of the world’s leading auteurs.\n\nKhaled (Sherwan Haji) arrives at the port of Helsinki concealed in a coal container\, fleeing war-torn Syria to seek asylum in Finland. Dazed and frustrated by the monolithic administration he encounters at the detention centre\, he makes a break for it and heads out onto the streets. There he meets Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen)\, a former shirt salesman who has recently left his alcoholic wife for a new life as a bachelor restaurateur. Together\, they help each other to navigate the adversities they face in these unfamiliar and often baffling new worlds.\n\nWith hilarious sight gags\, poker-faced one-liners and a toe-tapping rockabilly soundtrack\, Kaurismäki’s latest balances his unparalleled wit with a pressing critique of the unforgiving bureaucracy that greets vulnerable asylum seekers in modern-day Europe. Humane and sincere\, it’s proof of cinema’s power to tell stories that matter\, with beauty and heart.\n\n“This is a world that reeks of cigarette smoke and cheap vodka\, yet as always in the work of Finland’s maestro of droll melancholy\, the perfume that lingers longest is empathy.” - (David Rooney\, The Hollywood Reporter)\n\nDirector: Aki Kaurismäki\nCast:: Sakari Kuosmanen\, Sherwan Haji\, Janne Hyytiäinen\nYear: 2017\nRuntime: 98 min\nCountry: Finland\, Germany\n\n(text courtesy of Kicking Horse Culture)\n\nTickets for 'The Other Side of Hope' are purchased at the door (cash only\, please):\n\nAdult members - $12 (+GST)\nAdult non-members - $12 (+GST)\nStudent - $5 (+GST)
