Calgary Cinematheque invites you to a screening of Trust.

At 7:00PM, as the last attendees take their seats, the main event will begin! Calgary Cinematheque is pleased to present Trust (1991), written and directed by Hal Hartley.

Part of the 2016-17 FOCUS Series: AMERICAN INDEPENDENT CINEMA OF THE NINETIES - The 1990’s was a high point for American independent film and many of the directors who entered with a bang, like Kelly Reichardt and Todd Haynes, continue today to create works that stand out at Sundance and Tribeca. This series spotlights the breakout films that pushed against mainstream norms and first brought attention to these unique voices.

With a tagline of "A slightly twisted comedy", this second film from Hartley was premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 1990. At it's debut at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival, Trust won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and was nominated for the Grand Juy Prize. It has also been nominated for "AFI's 100 Years…100 Passions", a list of the top 100 greatest love stories in American cinema.

Caryn James of the NY Times wrote: "Putting on her purple lipstick one morning, a teen-ager tells her father she's pregnant. He calls her a slut, she slaps his face and the minute she stomps out the door he drops dead. Just as you were warned: if you break your father's heart, it will kill him. The situation is part nightmare, part bad joke, and the perfect deadpan way to kick off Hal Hartley's TRUST."
