TIFF Film Circuit Bancroft presents "The Manhattan Project" (2022)

"The Manhattan Project" is a Canadian dark comedy-drama directed and co-written by Matthew Campanile, alongside Mark Chylinski.

Set against the wintry beauty of southern Ontario's Madawaska Valley, the story blends wry humour with deep emotional resonance, exploring how Bob’s decision ripples through his relationships, especially with his son. Screenings at 2 and 7 p.m. Part of the three-film fall TIFF Film Circuit Bancroft series.
