Sir John A. and the Curse of the Anti-Quenched
Director: Adam Kirkey
$2.99 rental, 14A
Sir John A. and the Curse of the Anti-Quenched features John Dunsworth, famously known as Mr. Lahey on Trailer Park Boys, Spencer Rice of Kenny VS Spenny, Paul Spence ‘The Deaner’ from the cult classic FUBAR, Kathleen O’Hurley, @Slashleen, a largely popular Twitter personality from Toronto, and an ensemble cast of Kingstonians and other very talented Canadians.
The film follows two brothers in Kingston who are out for an evening of drinks in celebration of a recent promotion, when they fall into a one–hundred–and fifty-year-old curse that was started by Sir John A. The curse states that those not inebriated within the city limits of Kingston will turn into soul-sucking demons. Through a series of events, the brothers become the city’s only hope to break the curse and stop the demons.
KCFF: Rewind Fast Forward Podcast
We love talking about Canadian films so much we teamed up with Thom Ernst to create a podcast where we invite Canadian filmmakers to talk about their artistic influences past and present.
The first episode launches on January 25 featuring guest Jeff Barnaby. Jeff is a Mi’kmaq filmmaker, writer, composer, and editor and you’ll likely remember seeing his stylistic RHYMES FOR YOUNG GHOULS (KCFF14) and the highly effective zombie horror thriller, BLOOD QUANTUM (KCFF20) as part of KCFF. In this episode, Thom and Jeff chat about cinema, zombies, and colonialism.
New episodes will be launched weekly and feature guests like Festival faves Audrey Cummings and Matt Johnson and a few others that we’ll keep a secret for now. You can listen on your favourite podcast platform or check back here for updates.
