The Burning Season to screen at Glasgow, Closing Night Gala at Can Film Fest
Sean Garrity's The Burning Season, produced by, co-written by and starring Jonas Chernick, is set to have its international premiere next weekend at the prestigious Glasgow Film Festival, and will be the Closing Night Gala at the Canadian Film Festival on March 23, 2024, the CFF announced today. After having a world premiere at Whistler in December 2023, the feature film picked up the Borsos Award for Best Screenplay, and was nominated for a Vancouver Film Critics Circle Award last month, for Chernick’s performance as “JB”. The Glasgow Film Festival screening marks Garrity’s second consecutive feature to screen there, after last year’s The End of Sex, and marks writer-producer-actor Chernick’s fourth feature film to play in Glasgow in five years. The Closing Night Gala slot at the Canadian Film Festival marks the Toronto premiere of the film, which will be released theatrically in Canada in April by distributor Northern Banner Releasing. The Burning Season is the seventh feature film collaboration between Garrity and Chernick, and currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
