A summer love, picturesque woodland setting and a dark secret makes The Burning Season a film with oodles of intrigue that keeps you wondering.
The familiar team of director Sean Garrity and Jonas Chernick return to the Glasgow Film Festival yet again but this time with something distinctly different to last year’s The End of Sex.
Of course, sex is indeed on the cards in this story where we are introduced to Jb (Jonas Chernick) and Alena (Sara Canning) who begin an illicit affair and rekindle a summer love at the same cabin retreat where they met as teenagers.
In that summer they met it would prove to be pivotal as they now share a secret that binds them.
Chernick stars and also takes on script duties with Diana Frances in a tense drama that from the beginning makes its mark in its unusual way of telling the story backwards.

The Burning Season
From their very first days, the movies have always been in love with love. Intense, passionate, obsessive love most of all – and often with little concern for what that means for supporting characters whose lives are left in disarray thanks to the central couple. The Burning Season – directed by Sean Garrity, written by Jonas Chernick and Diana Frances, starring Jonas himself opposite Sara Canning – takes a rather different approach. opening at a wedding and unfolding backwards in time, it explores a connection which both Jonas and Sara’s characters find damaging and try to resist.
Although we need to take care to avoid spoilers, there’s lots to explore here. Nonetheless, when I caught up with the team as preparations were underway for the film to screen at the Glasgow Film Festival, I couldn’t help but begin by wondering out loud why Jonas, whom I last.

If you are wondering what binds these two movies together other than they both boast teaser trailers from Japan, well, they are both movies about princesses (wildly different movies, but still) so let's just get right to it... First up is "Diana," the Naomi Watts starring biopic about Diana Frances who became part of British royalty, and pretty much paid dearly for it. The movie, from "Downfall" director Olivier Hirschbiegel, will focus on Princess Diana's affair with Dr. Hasnat Kahn (played by "Lost" star Naveen Andrews) that lasted from 1995 until a few months before her death in 1997. But as this teaser suggests, it will also dive into the pomp of her position and ruthlessness of the tabloids that went along with it. But being a princess, at least in fairy tales, ain't so bad all the time. Disney will drop "Frozen" later this year, and while the first English...
