O, Brazen Age is a Canadian dramatic film, completed in 2015. The feature-length debut by writer/director Alexander Carson,[1] the film premiered at the 2015 Vancouver International Film Festival in September 2015.[1]
The film weaves together a series of loosely connected stories and characters, chronicling the spiritual journey of a group of friends in West Toronto over the course of several months. Featuring an ensemble cast from different corners of the city's art-scene, O, Brazen Age creates a pageant of musings and monologues about photography, poetry, memory, and regret.[2] On the occasion of the film's premiere in Vancouver, Pop Optiq called it "One of the best Canadian films of 2015".[3]
Following the film's presentation at the Reykjavik International Film Festival in 2015, O, Brazen Age was programmed for a short theatrical release in Iceland at Bíó Paradís in 2016.[4] O, Brazen Age was selected for numerous festival screenings in 2016 across North America and Europe, including the Leeds Independent Film Festival and the Victoria Film Festival.[5]
O, Brazen Age was produced by the North Country Cinema media arts collective and Walk On The Sunnyside with the support of Telefilm Canada and the Canada Council for the Arts.[6] The film was released theatrically in March 2017, garnering positive reviews from NOW Magazine and The Globe and Mail[7][8] and earning praise from Canadian filmmakers Atom Egoyan and Guy Maddin.[9]
