Toronto, Ontario, Canada Paul Quarrington's film Pavane has been selected to screen at the North By Northeast Music and Film Festival, June 17-21, 2009 - the screening date will be announced after the NXNE press conference May 11. Pavane screened at WorldFest: Houston Independent International Film Festival on April 18, and received a Platinum Remi Award in the Short Film Category - congrats to the talented team! About the Film: Phil and Jay share more than a family bond - failed careers, failed relationships, bottomless drinks, and a debilitating memory of a shocking encounter in a ravine one childhood day. The pretext of being strangers, the darkly comic ritual that the broken, non-functioning brothers perform in an attempt to get at their pain, can't cover the palpable connection between them, nor their deeply felt desire to find redemption. Cutting between live action performed by an award-winning cast and ingenuous animation whose simplicity belies the impact of the incident it reveals, Pavane portrays both the loss of innocence and a subtle hint at the boys' fragile potential for a new beginning. The screenplay, adapted from his novel The Ravine, and the nuanced performances Quarrington has made possible with the stellar cast, allows audiences to empathize with his characters to a degree rarely achieved in the short film format.
