IT’S ALL GONNA BREAK featuring Broken Social Scene – Documentary Screening and Virtual Q&A with Brendan Canning
In the early 2000’s in Toronto, a group of young creative musicians collectively known as Broken Social Scene, got together and soon became a worldwide phenomenon. Cinematographer and friend, Stephen Chung was there, behind the lens of his camera, capturing it all. Friendships, relationships, business and art… Stephen lovingly documents the highs and lows of a band who only wanted to create music on their own terms, and ended up changing everything. It is a celebration of the creative process, an homage to art and artists, and a love letter to the community and city which allowed it to thrive. With actual footage from a time before everyone had a camera in their pocket, It’s All Gonna Break is a time capsule showing how special those moments were, and how they helped form the people we are today. Featuring never before seen personal archival footage, and modern day interviews with Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Feist, Emily Haines, Amy Milan, Charles Spearin, Andrew Whiteman, Justin Peroff, John Crossingham, Evan Cranley, James Shaw, Jeffrey Remedios and David Newfeld. Brendan Canning joins us virtually for an audience Q & A after the screening. Minors ok with parent/guardian Review our venue FAQ here ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
