Wednesday, October 28 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – ONCE UPON A TIME AT A CINEMA
Director: David Gleeson
Cast: Colin Morgan, Calam Lynch, Clara Crichton
Runtime:  93 minutes

Earl Clancy, a small-town cinema owner on the edge, battles a series of disasters while juggling personal turmoil and the chaos of a packed Friday night crowd. Told in real time over the course of one evening, this delightful dramedy, based on director David Gleeson’s own experience growing up in a family of Irish cinema owners, is witty and heartfelt — a love letter to the magic of cinema.

Wednesday, November 4 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – I SWEAR (TBC)
Director: Kirk Jones
Cast: Robert Aramayo, Peter Mullan, Maxine Peake
Runtime: 120 minutes

***THIS FILM DOES CONTAIN COURSE AND SEXUAL LANGUAGE***

Winner Best Leading Actor, BAFTA Film Award (2026)

I Swear is a poised, textured portrait of a life lived against expectation. Anchored by Robert Aramayo’s nuanced turn, the film tracks John Davidson, a Scottish man shaped by the onset of severe Tourette’s syndrome in adolescence and the world’s uneasy gaze. Moving beyond biopic mechanics, the story unfolds through moments of dislocation, misfired intentions, and unexpected solidarity as John navigates family estrangement, social misunderstanding, and his own burgeoning voice. Set between the Border towns of the 1980s and later Glasgow, the film examines the porous border between perception and meaning, between restraint and impulse. With restraint and wry humanity, I Swear observes how identity, dignity, and connection are claimed amid disorder. “

“A deft balance of prickly and sweet that’s bound together by Robert Aramayo’s knockout performance, I Swear doesn’t sugarcoat the challenges of Tourette syndrome while delivering an uplifting tale of resilience.”

Wednesday, November 18 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – Run Terry Run
Director: Sean Menard
Cast: Terry Fox, Doug Alward, Darrell Fox
Runtime: 108 minutes

Distributor: Elevation Pictures

This intimate and inspiring portrait from documentarian Sean Menard draws upon never-before-seen footage to reveal the arduous process and profound commitment behind Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope to raise awareness and money for cancer research.

“Run Terry Run should be required viewing for all Canadians. Almost 45 years later, Fox’s story remains extraordinary not because the legend has grown larger, but because the person at its centre was so profoundly human.”

Wednesday, December 2 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – Dancing on the Elephant
Director: Julia Neill, Jacob Z. Smith
Cast: Sheila McCarthy, Mary Walsh, Amanda Brugel
Runtime: 95 minutes

When Nora’s son drops her off at Shady Rest Retirement Home, she’s pretty sure there’s not much left to hope for. That is, until unfiltered firecracker Edna wheels into her life and reminds her it ain’t over ‘till it’s over. The pair kindle a friendship around a love of Fat Archie’s cookies, disdain for “Chair-xercise,” and Edna’s quest to escape the “fox farm.” Edna’s failing memory eventually lands her in the secure memory care wing, leaving Nora to plot one last grand adventure in hopes of reminding her friend that there are still elephants left to dance on.

“Dancing on the Elephant hits all the right beats thanks to its talented leads, its memorable characters, and a heartfelt screenplay. It’s a cinematic slice of Canadian life worth seeking out.”

Wednesday, December 9 @ 4:30 & 7:30 – Ha Chan, Shake Your Booty!
Director: Josef Kubota Wladyka
Cast: Rinko Kikuchi, Alberto Guerra, Alejandro Edda
Runtime: 122 minutes
Language: English, Japanese, Spanish

Haru and Luis love competing in Tokyo’s ballroom dance scene, but after a tragedy, Haru withdraws into isolation. When friends coax her back to the studio, she develops an infatuation with the new instructor and must face what comes next as sparks begin to fly.

“There is magic in this film, beautifully rendered by Josef Kubota Wladyka and performed with aplomb by Rinko Kikuchi. The veil of grief is a hard one to shed, and what better way to be proactive and shake shake shake … shake your booty!”
