FRIDAY MAY 27 10:45 PM / THE PLAZA THEATRE
DEVIANT THRILLER / 18A

UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY
Directed by Mark Harriott & Mike Matthews
2010 | UK | 90 mins | RATING: 18A - Sexual Violence & Brutal Violence

A special birthday party becomes a living nightmare for city-dwelling couple Sadie and Rick and their friend Jonny. They visit Corinne – an enigmatic local on the island of Amen. The island of Amen is populated by a historically close-knit community that discourages strangers from visiting and is notoriously difficult to get to, but seemingly impossible to get off. But this begs the questions, why have these three outsiders been allowed on the island? A mysterious family connection with Corinne brings horrific consequences as they find themselves trapped by the tide and at the mercy of the island’s wild nature. They say that blood is thicker than water, but after the collision of two worlds with opposing values – these visitors will wish they’d never been born. A refreshingly queer take on the classic British horror film, UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY has a playfully retro vibe, a healthy irreverence and a deliciously deviant heart. (AD)

Fairy Tales Presentation Society

Fairytales Presentation Society is a not-for-profit, charitable organization located in Calgary, Alberta that focuses on showcasing local and national queer artists. As our name suggests, and bylaws state; we showcase and celebrate queer artists of all artistic mediums including but not limited to film. Our artistic endeavors strive to provide a safe and respectful venue for members of all communities to celebrate queer culture. While the term queer often refers to people who are LGBTTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit and questioning), Fairytales understands queer to also include those who subscribe to culturally, politically, artistically, and otherwise alternative and innovative ways of contributing to society. We see queer as a vista, a way of looking at the world differently- with an eye towards diversity, criticality and inclusion.
