Porcelain War

Dir. Brendan Bellomo & Slava Leontyev
87 min

In Canada we cannot truly comprehend a scenario in which our country is invaded and civilians compelled to take up arms. Yet for Ukrainians, this is the reality. In Porcelain War, three artists elect to stay and fight -- with cameras, yes, and with guns.

Flow

Dir. Gints Zilbalodis
84 min

In this wordless and gorgeously atmospheric animated feature, a solitary black cat survives a tsunami and must confront his fear of water whilst sailing through a flooded world with a group of misfit animals. An enchanting adventure film for all ages. Rated: G.

The Shawshank Redemption (30th Anniversary)

Dir. Frank Darabont
142 min

Frank Darabont's directorial debut is an engrossing, slow burn prison drama with stellar turns from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. It's a firm fan favourite.
