The Fall Film series by Reel on the River continues with Crossing, on September 30  at 7:00 pm at Silvercity in Mission.

About the Film:

From acclaimed director Levan Akin (And Then We Danced), CROSSING is a moving and tender tale of identity, acceptance, and unlikely connection that transcends borders and generations. Lia, a retired school teacher living in Georgia, hears from a young neighbour Achi that her long lost niece Tekla, a transgender woman, has crossed the border into Turkey. Hoping to bring Tekla home after a period of estrangement, Lia travels to Istanbul with the unpredictable Achi to find her. Exploring the hidden depths of the city, they cross paths with a transgender lawyer called Evrim, who helps them in their search. Humanistic and compassionate, Akin’s fourth feature is a heartfelt portrayal of overcoming the degrees of separation that divide us.

Individual tickets can be bought at the door for $10. Doors open at 6:00 pm. Series passes still are available for $35, and can be purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart in Mission, and Jazz-Ma-Tazz in Abbotsford.
