Based on the novel by renowned Canadian author Carol Shields, Unless tells the story of a family broken by their daughter's puzzling decision to live on the streets.
Starring Catherine Keener as Reta, a mother of three young, smart girls who works as a writer, Reta narrates the story and so we see these events mostly from her own perspective. Norah (Hannah Gross) is a young twenty-something who lives a privileged life and has a loving family, but chooses to sit at the corner of Bathurst and Bloor, outside Toronto landmark Honest Ed's, in a silent protest against a mysterious cause. We feel for her, but more for her parents who have to straddle the line between not doing enough for their daughter,...

Get your glad rags out and your Irish up. It’s the 12th annual Craic Fest this March and this year it will be held almost exclusively at the Tribeca Cinema in downtown Manhattan. But don’t expect Tribeca prices. The remarkable thing about the Craic Fest is that the emphasis is still actually on having craic -- $20 gets you a film premiere and a three-hour open bar. You read that right. Jameson and Stella Artois are co-sponsors, so the after parties really will have a swagger in their step. Trust the Irish to know how to throw a real bash.

Alan Gilsenan's latest venture, 'The Yellow Bittern', is a feature length documentary which paints an intimate portrait of the folk singer Liam Clancy, the only remaining member of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and has been five years in the making. From humble beginnings in Tipperary and Armagh the film takes the audience from the dizzying heights of the foursome's fame as the endearingly aran-jumpered Irish folk singers, who out-sold the Beatles and counted Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger as fans, through various highs and lows and alcohol-fuelled blips to today whereby the film's subject, Liam Clancy, is one of the few remaining members of the Irish folk movement that gripped the United States for more than two decades.
