Chapter seven of the nine-part, locally-produced dramatic feature “Perspective” screens at Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 21.
Subtitled “Variations on a Love Triangle,” Perspective was written, produced, and directed by Canadian filmmaker B. P. Paquette, and stars Stéphane Paquette, Patricia Tedford and Pandora Topp. The film is divided into nine chapters, shot over nine years, and spans nine years in the lives of three characters named “Alex.”
“Perspective” is unique in that it is a film in progress, and will continue to evolve until 2020. Every year since 2012, a new chapter has been presented exclusively at Cinéfest, along with each proceeding chapter. Each chapter runs approximately 10-20 minutes, with the completed film expected to run 140 minutes.
“Perspective” was produced in collaboration with Thorneloe University, and the entire faculty of Thorneloe’s Motion Picture Arts (MPA) Program were involved in the production, as well as many students in the MPA Program.
The most recent chapter, titled Chapter 7: Me, Myself, and I, will premiere following the first seven chapters, titled, respectively, Chapter 1: Salt & Soda (2012), Chapter 2: Chris and Other Beards (2013), Chapter 3: Hush, hsuH (2014), Chapter 4: Reflecting (2015), Chapter 5: Triangulation (2016), and Chapter 6: The Saddest Lines (2017).
Cinéfest screenings are held at SilverCity Sudbury Cinemas, located at 355 Barry Downe Rd, Sudbury, ON.
