TOPS form precious balances. They create emotionally powerful sonic experiences with a contemporary understanding of the classic song structures that have guided pop music since the beginning. A close listen will reveal their assurance as musicians, but their experience derives from playing in warehouse lofts rather than going to school. There is a place for each note in their songs. Complexity disappears behind a veil of familiarity.

Film: Last Call at the Oasis
2012-11-18 12:00 - 13:30
Last Call of the Oasis
Official synopsis: Developed, financed and executive produced by Participant Media, the company responsible for An Inconvenient Truth, Food, Inc. and Waiting For “Superman”, Last Call at the Oasis presents a powerful argument for why the global water crisis will be the central issue facing our world this century. Illuminating the vital role water plays in our lives, exposing the defects in the current system and depicting communities already struggling with its ill-effects, the film features activist Erin Brockovich and such distinguished experts as Peter Gleick, Alex Prud’homme, Jay Famiglietti and Robert Glennon.
Director bio: Jessica Yu is a director of both documentaries and scripted films. She won an Oscar for Best Documentary Short for Breathing Lessons, a film about Mark O’Brien, the poet who was confined to an iron lung. Her feature comedy debut, Ping Pong Playa premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and was released by IFC Films. Her documentaries include the theatrical features Protagonist, In The Realms of The Unreal, HBO’s The Living Museum, and the hybrid short The Kinda Sutra, all of which premiered at Sundance.

Film: Natural Women – Italian Ladies of Organic Wine
2012-11-18 10:00 - 11:30
Natural Women – Italian Ladies of Organic Wine
Synopsis: Four organic wine producers talk about their lives, their work as mothers, winegrowers and businesswomen, each telling her story in a different season and a different phase of work in the vineyard or winery. Though completely different, the four women share the same passion for and roots with their homeland. Devoid of bucolic idealisation of farm work, the film gives an accurate portrait of the women by following them in their daily routine, capturing their movement, faces and words.

2nd Best – Sometimes you just can’t stop fighting. Riley and Adrienne (a real life couple from Portland, OR) are coming back from a long day at IKEA already in a terrible mood, and even though Riley knows Adrienne is on the brink of a breakdown about having to eat the only thing they have left in the house (a brick of cold tofu) Riley still decides it’s a good time to ask Adrienne to reassure her about their sex life. Director: Sarah Gertrude Shapiro
A Family Memory – Hybrid animation-documentary about the last nice Christmas a family can remember. Director: Amira Dughri
The Lost Van Gogh – Shot from the POV of a painting, this comedic caper frames perfectly the value of art.
Two art dealers make the discovery of a lifetime, when a Van Gogh comes in to be appraised by an unsuspecting couple. After an attempt to buy the painting doesn’t pan out, the dealers set up a break in heist. The rightful owners remain dumbfounded by the true value until the end amidst the unusual circumstances. Director: Jessica Lyness
Valencia – Chapter 3 Michelle Tea’s legendary queer novel Valencia has been adapted as an omnibus-style feature film. Tea has handpicked her favorite filmmakers to direct each chapter of the story. In Chapter 3, Michelle is hopelessly infatuated with the emotionally unavailable Willa. In order to free up more time to spend with her, Michelle quits her full-time minimum-wage job in favor of a career that she swore she’d never go back to: prostitution. Director: Aubree Bernier-Clarke

Film: She Said Boom!: The Story of Fifth Column
2012-11-17 13:00 - 2012-11-18 14:30
She Said Boom!: The Story of Fifth Column
Official synopsis: “All Women Are Bitches” was not a chart topper, but it represented a significant thread in queerpunk history thanks to the all-female art punk band Fifth Column. Former band members recall the scene in the 1980s and their progressive efforts to unite music, film and zine culture to challenge conventional art practice, gender roles and femininity. The band’s memories of the fun and feuds that fueled their creativity and built their reputations connect to the later Riot Grrrl movement. Most enlightening may be what was Toronto’s first zine war, where rivals battled it out through handcrafted photocopies. Three decades may heal old wounds but clearly a few scars remain.
Features present day interviews with Kathleen Hanna, Vaginal Davis, Caroline Azar, Beverly Breckenridge, GB Jones and Bruce La Bruce.
