Here's an example of a filmmaker losing control of his story while still keeping absolute control over the film as a whole. This strange and intense piece begins when a family - Denis and Peggy Harting and their daughter Lauvia, all visually impaired and who busk in the subway - engage with spiritualists to resurrect Lauvia's brother, Hassan, who drowned almost 15 years ago. But soon it veers into an examination of family dynamics as Denis and Peggy's relationship falters, thanks largely to an online relationship she's pursuing. The movie gets sometimes unbearably close to the Hartings, passionate, compelling characters who make eerily beautiful music. It's also one of the saddest films I've seen in a long time.

Resurrecting Hassan merges the disparate worlds of Denis, Peggy and Lauviah, from their profound grief to their New Age pursuit of miracles, their stunning musicality and incredible perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity. Expect the unexpected as Denis and family’s journey leads down roads that even the above setup may not prepare you for. But while their lives get shaken up, everyone emerges relatively unscathed on the other side.

Soyons clair : un documentaire de long métrage axé sur des handicapés ne retient pas d’emblée l’attention du spectateur, même le mieux disposé. Et encore moins si ce film aborde la question de la cécité, la pire des malédictions selon plusieurs, surtout pour un cinéphile averti. Malaise préalable donc, qui repose sur un a priori pouvant hypothéquer la carrière d’une entreprise aussi louable et audacieuse soit-elle. Pourtant, il arrive qu’un miracle se produise, qu’un tel film réussisse à captiver littéralement le spectateur du début à la fin de la projection, au point de le laisser ébahi, sans voix devant ce qu’il vient de voir et d’entendre. La résurrection d’Hassan de Carlo Guillermo Proto en est un exemple éloquent.

Is Front Row Centre and/or the theatres screening this film aware that the director Carlo Proto is alleged to be a serial sexual, physical, and psychological abuser of women? I wonder how these institutions feel about providing a platform that forces his name and image into the lives of the many women who have to exist in this city and be confronted daily with the trauma of horrible abuse and predatory behavior that this individual perpetrated against them... Shame.
