Port Moody will host a documentary mini-festival at the same time celebrities are flocking to Toronto for the 36th annual TIFF.
Organizers with the PoMo Film Society will show The English Surgeon (UK/Ukraine, 2007) at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 9. At 9:30 p.m. is the Last Train Home (China/UK/Canada, 2009), which tells the tale of a family of peasant workers that reunites with its distant relatives.
And on Saturday, Sept. 10, there is Waste Land (Brazil/UK, 2010), a documentary that focuses on art from Jardim Gramacho, the world's largest landfill outside of Rio de Janeiro, to the international scene.
Tickets for the mini-fest are $5 per film, with a one-time annual $5 membership to the society.
