AGH i♥film series

AGH ilovefilm series is pleased to announce that it will be screening monthly double matinees at the Westdale Theatre starting with Howl on Saturday, January 15 at 1 pm and Never Let Me Go on Saturday, January 15 at 4 pm. These new screenings are in addition to the AGH’s regular monthly screenings at the Empire Jackson Square 6 Cinemas.

In Howl, James Franco stars as counter-culture revolutionary Allen Ginsberg, who recounts the road trips, love affairs and search for personal liberation that led to the most electrifying work of his career: the poem HOWL. Meanwhile, in a San Francisco courtroom, HOWL is on trial as prosecutor Ralph McIntosh (David Strathairn), defense attorney Jake Ehrlich (Jon Hamm), and a host of witnesses (Jeff Daniels, Mary-Louise Parker, Treat Williams) debate the artistic merits of the controversial poem, and whether or not it should be banned from publication. Rated 14A

Never Let Me Go tells the story of Ruth, Kathy and Tommy, who spent their childhood at a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. As they grow into young adults, they find that they have to come to terms with the strength of the love they feel for each other, while preparing themselves for the haunting reality that awaits them. Based on the award-winning book by Kazuo Ishiguro, the film stars Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield. Rated 14A

Also, the AGH i♥film series has a new exciting member-run initiative i♥film series club made up of like-minded people who meet regularly to share their passion for film. If you are interested in participating, please contact Annette Paiement at annette@artgalleryofhamilton.com.
