Three Things Consulting/Reelout Opening Gala Film: Rosie directed by Gail Maurice/Canada/2022/ 92:00min English & French with English Subtitles
A film about family, love, and misfits, ROSIE tells the story of a young, orphaned, Indigenous girl who is forced to live with her reluctant, street-smart Aunty Fred (Frédérique). Rosie is thrust into the fringes of 1980’s Montréal into the care of Fred, who just lost her job, is on the verge of eviction, and who looks and sounds nothing like her. Fred, an artist who creates art from found and discarded objects or other peoples’ trash, introduces Rosie to her two best friends Flo and Mo, glamorous human beings who refuse to be confined by gender. In the end, Rosie transforms the lives of these colourful characters and finds love, acceptance, and a true HOME with her new chosen family of glittering outsiders.
The tone is evocative of the beloved film Little Miss Sunshine and TV’s Shameless, with a little Québécois slang thrown in for good measure. This short, bilingual film is both funny and poignant. At its core, ROSIE is a tale of identity, family, love, and misfits.
Featuring a LIVE performance by Krista Muir, Composer/Performer who has several songs included in the ROSIE Soundtrack!!!! (Photo credit Krista Muir from when she was the same age as Rosie’s child star Keris Hope Hill).
