F*** You All: The Uwe Boll Story (CANADA)

12:00 PM

Director: Sean Patrick Shaul

The question at the center of Uwe Boll’s story has existed since early on in his career: Is Uwe the worst filmmaker of all time?

FUCK YOU ALL: The Uwe Boll Story is a documentary that explores the unique life and career of the notorious renegade filmmaker. Through personal interviews with Uwe Boll himself, the people who have worked faithfully alongside him, his harshest critics and everyone in-between.

A storied career that has led to such highs as working with Oscar-winning actors and 60 million dollar budgets, and reached such lows as having actors publicly disparage their films with Boll and public petitions for him to stop making films. None of this stopped Uwe from creating 32 feature films (before retiring and opening a successful high end restaurant.)

Already a cult legend, Uwe Boll will be remembered forever. Some will remember him as a modern-day Ed Wood. Others will remember him as the filmmaker who came from a small town in Germany and never compromised his integrity while creating his own path.

Confused (USA)

Director: Jesse Salto & Louie Salto

Drama Shorts Program C19

We’re lost! The archaic guidebook of relationship code is out the window, thank god!, but there’s nothing new in it’s place. We are a generation at odds with how to approach relationships, love and acceptance. The conversation has never been so perilous and the call for change and understanding has never been so loud.

It is time for a film that captures the zeitgeist of love, and starts conversations, …hopefully even arguments.
