REMINDER: HIFF Sneak Peek Advance screening of ROOM starring Brie Larson tomorrow for HIFF Ohana members at Regal Dole Cannery Stadium 18, 7pm
 
 
 
 
We kick off the HIFF fall season with this year's official HIFF SNEAK PEEK with the advance screening of the award winning ROOM starring Brie Larson. The film, based on the bestselling novel, won the Audience Award at the recently concluded Toronto International Film Festival, an "unofficial" indicator for the upcoming Best Picture Academy Award race. 

Synopsis: 
Joy Newsome (Brie Larson), also known as Ma, is being held captive with her five-year-old son, Jack, in a garden shed. It all started when Old Nick tricked Ma into helping him find a lost dog. She was then kidnapped and brought to "Room", the garden shed in the backyard of Old Nick's house. Seven years later, Ma and Jack find themselves still locked in "Room", itching to get out.

Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2015
Time: Doors open at 6:30pm, Film starts at 7pm
Venue: Regal Dole Cannery Stadium 18
