Winner of the Golden Globes "Best Foreign Film" and the Audience Choice Award at VIFF in 2019, this darkly-comic social satire explores themes of class, materialism, and social inequity. A Korean family living a hardscrabble existence employs various schemes to insinuate themselves into the lives of a wealthy family. Director Bong has asked festival audiences not to reveal what happens next—and for good reason—the second act jumps wildly in tenor and tone leading to a startling conclusion. "A malign delight."

By donation ($10) At the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre "Nathaniel Kahn’s brilliant and captivating documentary, The Price of Everything, about how the art world got converted into a money market, is shrewd enough to know that the answer is both." A provocative glimpse into another facet of the art world, this film is not to be missed.
