Wild About Ari

“Wild About Ari” concerns Sophie, a young Greek woman, who rejects her family through an academic appreciation of Aristotle, while Tom, a young white romantic, pursues his desire to become black. The Toronto Festival of Festival programmers described the film as a “bent, witty drama… that answers all the big questions” on ethnic identity and cultural appropriation. “Scripted with the style and directed with precision”… “Wild about Ari” hopes to win audiences with its fresh insight, humour and eccentric characters. NOW Magazine cites: “Demas’ deft dialogue, which tweaks cultural stereotypes, makes this movie a treat.”
