The “Socalled” Movie is moving on to the festival circuit after a successful launch at Hot Docs in May and a theatrical run in Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto and Ottawa.

“If Woody Allen and Lil Wayne had a lovechild, it would be Josh Dolgin, a.k.a. Socalled, the Montreal-based hip-hop-klezmer-funk musician at the centre of this kaleidoscopic documentary about one man’s incredible creative process.” – Lynne Ferrie, Hot Docs 2010

Theatrical showings are scheduled for Vancouver at Vancity.

July 19 at 7:15 PM and July 20 at 6:00 and 8:50 PM

“a marvelously textured and intriguing portrait of the artist as an almost-young man”
