The DVD Club presents:

We're excited to unveil our second selection for the DVD Club, EVE & THE FIRE HORSE, an enchanting film from Julia Kwan that managed to make it into the hearts of many filmgoers, including a very tough panel at the Sundance Film Festival where this lyrical tale of a young girl growing up in a world full of wonder and cultural confusion managed to take home the Special Jury Prize (and raving reviews from the likes of critic Roger Ebert!). It had also received the Audience Choice Award at the Vancouver International Film Festival, as well as other awards.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to rent or buy the Eve & the Fire HorseDVD, view it in the comfort of your home (invite some friends while you're at it!) and then log in to our Forum. Post your thoughts, reviews, questions, comments and connect with other Canadian film lovers from across Canada.

Director Julia Kwan will answer your questions throughout the month - so this is your chance to find out all about the inspiration behind the film, going to Sundance, directing a feature & much more. Other special guests TBA.

TIP: You can rent or buy the DVD at a video store near you (Blockbuster & Rogers both carry Canadian films) or via our partner, Videomatica.ca, which lets you rent or buy by mail.

SYNOPSIS:
Eve is a precocious nine year-old girl with a wild imagination growing up in a traditional Chinese immigrant family in Vancouver where Confucian doctrines, superstitious obsessions and divine visions abound. When Buddhism and Catholicism are thrown into the mix, life for Eve and her 11-year-old prim and authoritative sister, Karena, escalates into a fantasia of catastrophe, sainthood and cultural confusion. Eve and the Fire Horse will pierce viewers' hearts with its lyrical, humorous and emotional journey of a young girl and her sister striving to grow up in world where childhood is lonely and the world is full of wonder.
