Join us for the 2016 Phoenix Film Festival Fall Showcase. It's a great way to get an early look at some potential Oscar nominees and even a few dark horses. We'll screen four films over four nights with post-film discussions hosted by members of the Phoenix Critics Circle.
You can purchase single tickets or get the Showcase Pass which allows you to see all four films at a discount.
I, Daniel Blake
Post-film discussion hosted Matthew Robinson of DarkOfTheMatinee.com
Starring: Dave Johns and Hayley Squires
Director: Ken Loach
Synopsis: Winner of the Palme dOr at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, the latest from legendary director Ken Loach is a gripping, human tale about the impact one man can make. Gruff but goodhearted, Daniel Blake (Dave Johns) is a man out of time: a widowed woodworker whos never owned a computer, he lives according to his own common sense moral code. But after a heart attack leaves him unable to work and the state welfare system fails him, the stubbornly self-reliant Daniel must stand up and fight for his dignity, leading a one-man crusade for compassion that will transform the lives of a struggling single mother (Hayley Squires) and her two children. Graced with humor and heart, I, Daniel Blake is a moving, much-needed reminder of the power of empathy from one of the worlds greatest living filmmakers.
