EyeSteelFilm’s feature documentary RiP: a remix manifesto bows in Toronto Friday, moving west after launching in Montreal last week via KinoSmith, while Mongrel Media adds seven screens for Michael McGowan’s road-trip drama One Week.

RiP opens at Toronto’s indie Royal Cinema and the AMC Yonge and Dundas, with plans to expand to Winnipeg, Vancouver and Calgary next week, followed by Ottawa on March 27.

Coproduced with the National Film Board, the critically well-received film examines issues of copyright in the information age through its main protagonist Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. Directed by EyeSteel’s Brett Gaylor, the doc has garnered audience awards at the Whistler and Amsterdam film festivals.

RiP is the follow-up to the Montreal prodco’s award-winning doc Up the Yangtze, which generated over $500,000 at the Canuck box office last year.

Mongrel’s One Week will play in 65 theaters Friday, a slight expansion following a successful first week that earned some $400,000. The road movie will roll into Moncton, NB, Fredricton, NB, and Sydney, NS and add two screens in Montreal. Also expanding is Bruce McDonald’s Pontypool, opening in Montreal and Vancouver through Maple Pictures.

Meanwhile, E1 Films bows the Italian crime-drama Gomorrah — nominated for a Golden Globe and the Palme d’Or last year — exclusively at Toronto’s Cumberland theater.

Among U.S. releases this week is the Universal Pictures thriller remake The Last House on the Left, on 2,300 North American screens, while Disney bows the family adventure Race to Witch Mountain, starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, on 3,000 screens, according to Box Office Mojo.
