Christian Zyp interviews Sofia Bohdanowicz (director/co-writer) about her feature film MEASURES FOR A FUNERAL. See it exclusively at Metro Cinema Sunday November 30th @ 3:45 pm OR Thursday December 4th @ 9:15 pm.

MEASURES FOR A FUNERAL brilliantly spotlights a young academic’s run towards one woman — acclaimed early 20th-century Canadian violinist Kathleen Parlow — as she simultaneously flees from another, her failed musician mother. Sofia Bohdanowicz’s latest pieces together the extraordinary story of real-life early 20th-century Canadian violinist Kathleen Parlow — who by rights should be a household name — blending fact with a fictionalized family history.

The director’s frequent collaborator, actress Deragh Campbell, plays Audrey Benac, a woman on a single-minded mission to learn more about Parlow, who has slipped away from collective memory. Melding her own personal history into the film, Parlow was Bohdanowicz’s grandfather’s violin mentor and teacher. Culminating in a beautiful final concerto that is layered in meaning and importance, this film brings to light a forgotten icon, while simultaneously reflecting on loss, regrets, and closure.

After a raid goes wrong, destroying a family not unlike his own, Barry's conscience gets the better of him and he quits the force.
