We Are Fugazi From Washington, DC
96mins (15) nondocumentary
Directed by Jeff Krulik|Joe Gross|Joseph Pattisall

Created to commemorate the 20 years that have passed since DC-based post-hardcore band Fugazi’s last live appearance (November 4, 2002, at The Forum in London), We Are Fugazi from Washington, D.C. is a 96-minute movie comprising crowd sourced, fan recorded live shows and rare archive footage of Fugazi curated by Joe Gross, Joseph Pattisall and Jeff Krulik.

This unique archival assemblage celebrates the fans and their cameras, as much as the band itself — a collision/ collusion of the ephemeral moment on stage, and the moments captured on camera.

2000 108mins Canada (18) Teen / Horror
Directed by John Fawcett Starring Emily Perkins, Katharine Isabelle, Kris Lemche

A wild and bloodthirsty hound has ravaged through the small town of Bailey Downs, attacking the neighbourhood's pet dogs. When the two teenage outcasts, the Fitzgerald sisters, stumble upon the creature one night, their lives change forever as Ginger is bitten, and her body starts to change. 

A true feast of practical effects, 2000s grunge, and snappy one-liners; Ginger Snaps has been credited in hindsight as a predecessor to the “maneater” supernatural woman most famously seen in Jennifer´s Body (2009). A coming-of-age story told in a fresh perspective; for maybe the true terror lies in growing up, or maybe it lies in the bloodthirsty hound who calls herself your sister. 

Ginger Snaps is featured as part of MANEATERS, a season exploring the female supernatural on screen. The season is presented with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and Curation MA.
