DON'T COME UPSTAIRS - Mike Lobel Interview

Christian Zyp interviews Mike Lobel (director/screenwriter/editor) about his documentary feature DON'T COME UPSTAIRS. See the Canadian Premiere as part of the Edmonton International Film Festival on Saturday October 3, 2026 12:30 PM at Landmark Cinemas 9 City Centre (Theatre 1). Mike Lobel will also be in person at the screening for a Q&A.

"Never ask Dad what he does for work." This was the unspoken rule that defined filmmaker Mike Lobel's childhood. For more than 30 years, Lobel and his siblings knew their family held a closely guarded secret. In the documentary Don't Come Upstairs, Lobel unravels the mystery that has always haunted his family: What was his father hiding? Why was the truth off limits? And what did it cost the family?
