Care Failure, left, and Bruce McDonald in Hard Core Logo 2. (Whistler Film Festival)Hard Core Logo 2, a sequel to Canadian director Bruce McDonald's punk rock mockumentary Hard Core Logo, is to make its world premiere at the Whistler Film Festival in B.C.
It comes more than 14 years after McDonald's comedy chronicling the melt-down of a once-popular band as they tour Western Canada.
Hard Core Logo 2 also takes the documentary format, with McDonald setting out to interview Care Failure, the sexy lead singer of Canadian punk band Die Mannequin, who has been committed to a mental institution in Florida. Care Failure claims to be channeling the spirit of Hard Core Logo lead singer Joe Dick.
The sequel will compete in the Borsos Competition for the $15,000 best Canadian feature award at the Whistler festival, which runs Dec. 1-5.
The full lineup in the festival was announced Thursday by artistic director Shauna Hardy Mishaw.
Other films in the Borsos Competition:
- Good Neighbours, by Montreal's Jacob Tierney.
- Jo Pour Jonathan, by Montreal's Maxime Giroux.
- Small Town Murder Songs by toronto's Ed Gass-Donnelly.
- The Whistleblower by Toronto's Larysa Kondracki.
- Wrecked by Toronto's Michael Greenspan.
American director Monte Hellman will bring a sneak peak of his romantic thriller Road to Nowhere, which stars Vancouver actor Tygh Runyan.
The full competition includes 34 features and 34 shorts.
