After the loss of her lifelong best friend, 90-year-old Eleanor uproots her quiet life in Florida for a fresh start in New York City. Struggling to find her footing, she unexpectedly bonds with a college student, Nina, and tells a small lie that grows more complicated as their friendship deepens. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut blends humour, heartbreak, and hope in a moving story about grief, reinvention, and the unlikely connections that help us heal. Anchored by a luminous performance from June Squibb, Eleanor the Great is a tender and funny reminder that it’s never too late to start over.

“Warmly observant, this witty drama is beautifully anchored in another superbly sparky performance by the great June Squibb.”

Filmed against the rapturous backdrop of southern Colorado, Rebuilding is a ruminative, moving portrait of resilience and human connection in the wake of loss.

Wednesday, February 25 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – BLUE MOON
Director: Richard Linklater
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale, Andrew Scott
Runtime: 100 minutes
Language:

Distributor: Mongrel Media

Unfolding over the single evening of March 31, 1943, legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart confronts his shattered self-confidence in Sardi’s bar as his former collaborator Richard Rodgers celebrates the opening night of his hit musical Oklahoma!. This theatrical Richard Linklater film deftly fills out the colourful lifetime of a legendary creative partnership.

“Directed by Richard Linklater, from a crisply bittersweet screenplay by Robert Kaplow, Blue Moon is as elegantly witty and luxuriantly melancholic as one of Rogers and Hart’s toe-tapping, heart-swelling compositions.”

Wednesday, March 5 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – DJ AHMET
Director: George M. Unkovski
Cast: Arif Jakup, Agush Agushev, Dora Akan Zlatanova, Aksel Mehmet
Runtime: 99 minutes
Language: Turkish & Macedonian

Special Jury Award for Creative Vision & Audience Award: World Cinema Dramatic, Sundance Film Festival (2025)

Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else. The film delves into the challenges of growing up in a traditional setting while simultaneously discovering one’s own identity, tracing the universal human need to express oneself, and how art — in this case, music — can become both a refuge and a catalyst for change.

“Unkovski’s coming-of-age comedy finds much to smile about in a North Macedonian village where conservative traditions clash with modern times.”

Wednesday, March 25 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – H IS FOR HAWK (TBC)
Director: Phillippa Lowthorpe
Cast: Clare Foy, Brendan Gleeson, Lindsay Duncan
Runtime: 130 minutes

H is for Hawk follows Helen, who, after the sudden death of her father, loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together and turns the ancient art of falconry–rooted in European tradition–training a wild goshawk named Mabel to navigate her profound loss. But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.

“Foy is terrific in a film which balances bruising candour about mental health issues against arresting wildlife photography and a fervent appreciation of the natural world.”

Wednesday, April 1 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – MEADOWLARKS
Director: Tasha Hubbard
Cast: Michael Greyeyes, Carmen Moore, Alex Rice, Michelle Thrush
Runtime: 91 minutes

Based on her 2017 documentary Birth of a Family, acclaimed filmmaker Tasha Hubbard has turned to drama for the first time. With Meadowlarks, she takes the story of four siblings, separated as babies, who are reuniting 50 years later during a week spent in Banff. To tell her story, Hubbard has assembled a terrific roster of Indigenous acting stars to play the siblings, including Michael Greyeyes, Michelle Thrush, Carmen Moore, and Alex Rice. An emotional journey handled with care, respect, and beauty, Meadowlarks will leave you in tears, hugging your family members closer.

“Fueled by terrific performances, Meadowlarks is an emotional look at the devastating personal effects that came as a result of the Sixties Scoop, but is a hopeful, heartfelt movie, that suggests the fabric of family can be mended no matter how frayed.”

Wednesday, April 15 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – SILVER SCREAMERS
Director: Sean Cisterna
Cast: Jayne Eastwood
Runtime: 94 minutes

Silver Screamers is a heartwarming and spine-tingling documentary that follows a spirited group of senior citizens who set out to make a horror film, stepping far outside their comfort zones. Led by a local filmmaker, they navigate the challenges of low-budget movie-making with humor, heart, and resilience. Along the way, they discover newfound confidence, forge meaningful friendships, and prove that creativity knows no age. Silver Screamers is a joyful celebration of second acts and fearless reinvention.

“This feel-great documentary is a celebration of creativity, community, and the irrepressible spirit of people who refuse to be sidelined by age. It’s a real life manifestation of the old adage, “you’re never too old to try something new.”
