Description

Screening with Motion Poems short film Crows Reckoning, April 16.

A stubborn, set-in-his-ways, 80-year-old farmer from rural Finland is forced to spend some time in the capital where he rants about the modern world. Director Dome Karukoski creates an entertaining comedy of bad behavior. The Grump is both an old-school Everyman and an extreme force of nature—politically incorrect and guilty of recounting the good ol’ days when “children weren’t spoiled and people didn’t spend money on useless things.”

The Grump is a movie that will tickle your funny bone as well as tug on your heartstrings.

A crow remembers. COMMANDR's adaptation of Jessica Goodfellow's "Crows, Reckoning," will remember your face, the rise of your cheek, your beakless maw and cause you to recall that gardens are, by their nature, not nature.
