The line between performance and reality begins to blur in the latest offering by the Brock University Film Society<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Madeline\u2019s Madeline, <\/span><\/em>an intense and challenging drama written and directed by Josephine Decker, will be screened at The Film House in downtown St. Catharines on Thursday, Oct. 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

Molly Parker stars as an experimental theatre director with newcomer Helena Howard as a gifted young performer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Madeline (Howard) has become an integral part of a prestigious theatre troupe. When the ambitious director (Parker) pushes Madeline to weave her rich interior world and her troubled relationship with her mother (Miranda July) into their collective art, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. The resulting conflict rips out of the rehearsal space and through all three women\u2019s lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Minneapolis Star Tribune<\/span><\/em> calls Howard \u201ca once-in-a-generation talent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Boston Globe<\/span><\/em> calls <\/span>Madeline\u2019s Madeline<\/span><\/em> \u201cone of the best films of the year, if also one of the hardest to initially get your head around.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets are available at the Film House on the evening of screenings.<\/span><\/p>\n

General admission is $9 or $7 for members, plus tax. Memberships are available through The Film House website<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
