Showed some years back in a faded 35mm print, Pink Floyd’s iconic 1972 concert film returns to the Belcourt fully remastered.

In the mid-’60s, Janis Ian, a teenage singer-songwriter from New Jersey, scored a controversial hit single called "Society's Child," about an interracial love relationship. The song launched her illustrious career but also ignited death threats, plunging her into an emotional tailspin — only to emerge from the ashes in the 1970s with an even bigger hit, "At Seventeen," a song ahead of its time in confronting lookism and bullying. Janis overcame significant obstacles — embezzlement, record industry misogyny and heartbreak — to find love and produce an indelible body of searingly honest songs that have earned her a devoted following and critical acclaim.
