On April 9, the cast and crew of Mile End Kicks walked the red carpet at Théâtre Outremont ahead of the film's theatrical release next week, celebrating a love letter to the city's indie rock golden age.
Writer-director Chandler Levack drew from her years covering music to reconstruct a Montreal that most locals remember but nobody's quite captured on screen before: the early 2010s, when Mile End felt like the centre of the universe and everyone you knew was in a band. Barbie Ferreira stars as a young critic who arrives with a book idea about Alanis Morissette and leaves with something considerably messier.
Montreal actors Jay Baruchel, Robert Naylor, and Juliette Gariépy round out the cast alongside Devon Bostick and Stanley Simons.
Mile End Kicks opens in theatres April 17. A companion concert follows April 24 at Sala Rossa, featuring Nora Kelly Band, Last Waltzon, Marontate, and Birds of Prrrey.
