Celebrate Black History Month with “A Winter Tale”

Frances-Anne Solomon’s acclaimed award-winning film will open to cinema goers this February! The official release launch takes place January 31, 2008 at the Revue Cinema (400 Roncesvalles Avenue, Toronto).  Cast and crew will be on hand for a special Q&A session and VIP reception.

Set in Toronto‘s Parkdale Community, A Winter Tale tells the emotional story of a black men’s support group that begins to meet at a Caribbean takeaway restaurant, after a ten-year-old boy is killed by a stray bullet. It features a talented ensemble cast led by Canadian stars Peter Williams and Michael Miller and Caribbean icons Leonie Forbes and Dennis "Sprangalang" Hall.

Regan Macaulay and Kevin Risk were both involved with the film.  Regan was the Associate Producer and Kevin did some post-production sound work.

Caribbean Tales has been busy working with teachers and communities to set up "Talk it Out" events (supported by Telefilm Canada and sponsored by TD Bank) used as a tool for discussion and exchange on issues of youth violence and gun culture. 

A Winter Tale will also open to audiences in Montreal this March, and across the Caribbean (Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Antigua and St. Lucia) later this spring.
