MANITOULIN—A film shot on Manitoulin Island will be presented at the annual Cinefest film festival in Sudbury next month.
The Sault Star reported that Dada, a film shot on Manitoulin, tells the story of Kai (Ciara Alexys) on the eve of her 16th birthday and her divorced father Adam (James Gilbert). They drive around the perimeter of a nuclear power plant, reading books and creating seemingly harmless nonsense games.
Aaron Poole’s debut feature film is a story that invokes the erosion of language, the failure of mentorship and the threat of the abyss.
The 36th edition of Cinefest Sudbury International Film Festival takes place September 14-22 at SilverCity.
