About

Chandler Levack’s second film, Mile End Kicks, is a nostalgic coming-of-age tale set in Montreal’s indie rock scene in 2011. Barbie Ferreira stars as Grace Pine, a Toronto music critic who impulsively moves to Montreal to write a book about Alanis Morissette and gets very distracted along the way. Montreal Gazette writer T’Cha Dunlevy, author Lux Alptraum and cutsleeve drummer Lian McMillan join Elamin to talk about the movie.
