Cross film on squeegee kids opens tomorrow Daniel Cross, whose MFA thesis film about the homeless of downtown Montreal, The Street, got excellent reviews, has made another full-length film in central Montreal. He calls it SPIT: Squeegee Punks In Traffic. Cross is a Concordia alumnus and teaches film production in the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema. The French-language version played for three weeks at the ExCentris Cinema — with sellouts, Cross says — and it will enjoy an extended run at the Cinema Parisien, starting Feb. 1. The 80-minute, 35mm film also played in Paris, and Cross has entered it in the Göteburg International Film Festival in Sweden from Feb. 1-3. You can see the English-language premiere of SPIT tomorrow night, January 25, at the Cinéma du Parc, starting at 9:30 p.m. Daniel and Roach, seen above doing his thing, provide a live question-and-answer period after each screening.
