For any film buffs out there, the Cape Breton Island Film Series(CBIFS)  – thirteen Thursdays, thirteen great films – launches September 10th at the Empire Theatre in Sydney, Nova Scotia. 

While there look to be many great films, on October 01, they will be screening O’Horten.  Set in Oslo, this is the story of  “…a former train driver who struggles to adjust to the freedoms of retirement... Hamer’s movie is a compelling exploration of a loner who has had all the familiarity stripped from his world, and flounders as he seeks to find meaning in a life shorn of routine.”

You can read reviews here and watch the trailer here. The full schedule of the CBIFS is here.
