All We Imagine As Light
January 22nd - 7PM
This exquisitely beautiful and heartfelt film follows two nurses experiencing personal turning points tinged with the possibility of romance. Moving from urban bustle to seaside idyll, celebrated filmmaker Payal Kapadia locates the beating heart of Mumbai in images as simple as people wending through a crowded marketplace or women retrieving laundry from a rooftop clothesline. Yet for all the rapturous visuals, perhaps the most memorable element is the profound sisterhood at the centre of the film, which emerges slowly and is all the more moving for its measured pace.
The Outrun
February 19th - 7PM
Based on the best-selling memoir by Amy Liptrot, The Outrun is a profoundly moving drama about addiction, recovery, and the healing power of nature. After a decade away, 29-year-old Rona (Saoirse Ronan) returns home to the Orkney Islands, sober but lonely as she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly, the mystical land enters her inner world and — one day at a time — Rona finds hope and strength among the heavy gales and bracingly cold sea, masterfully realized by Ronan in a career-best performance that’s generating early awards buzz.
Drive Back Home
March 19th - 7PM
In the winter of 1970, a cantankerous, small-town plumber from rural New Brunswick must drive his beat-up work truck 1,000 miles to Toronto to get his estranged, gay brother out of jail after his arrest for having sex in a public park. The two men are then forced to drive back home together at the behest of their hard-nosed mother. Inspired by a true story.
Hard Truths
April 16th - 7PM
Reuniting with Oscar-nominated Secrets & Lies star Marianne Jean-Baptiste and returning to contemporary London for a story inverse to his 2008 Festival favourite Happy-Go-Lucky, the latest from seven-time Oscar-nominated auteur Mike Leigh is bracingly tough, darkly funny, and pierced with insight. Shifting between various members of an extended Black family in London, Hard Truths is a psychologically rich ensemble film as only Leigh can cultivate.
Small Things Like These
May 7th - 7PM
Based on the historical fiction novel by Claire Keegan, Small Things like These follows the story of a devoted father Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) who discovers disturbing secrets kept by a local convent. Soon, he is forced to confront the complicit silence of a small Irish town where every aspect is controlled by and connected to the Catholic Church.
