FILM: WHILE WE’RE YOUNG
BAND: THE HEAVYWEIGHTS BRASS BAND
Inspired by the New Orleans brass band tradition, the Heavyweights Brass Band stay true to the rich legacy of jazz but aren’t afraid to incorporate influences from different musical genres. From pop hits of the day to R&B and funk throwbacks, this performance will be anything but ordinary. The night continues with the breakout indie hit While We’re Young starring Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts, Amanda Seyfried and Adam Driver. The comedy-drama written and directed by Noah Baumbach, follows a middle-aged couple as their marriage and careers are overturned when a charming young couple enters their lives.
AUGUST 12
FILM: UNEXPECTED
BAND: OS TROPIES
Get ready for a night of surprises. First up, Toronto’s own Os Tropies. This group of musicians and friends was brought together by their love of ‘Tropocalia – Brazilian pop music from the 60s. Get ready to groove as the Os sextet drops the trop at ORF. Shortly after, Unexpected, starring Vancouver-born How I Met Your Mother’s Cobie Smulders, rounds out the night. Set in Chicago, an inner-city high school teacher discovers she is pregnant at the same time as one of her most promising students, and the two develop an unlikely bond in this Sundance hit.
*Doors for all events open at 7:30pm with the musical act coming on shortly thereafter and the films commencing at sundown.
