What's On
The Godfather
A family saga in more senses than one, Francis Coppola's enthralling gangster opus aims to chronicle the American experience through the twentieth century. It is both a success story and a study of moral corruption.
Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight
Embeth Davidtz adapts Alexandra Fuller's memoir of growing up in Rhodesia as it transformed into post-colonial Zimbabwe in 1980. Lexi Venter is astonishing as the feral child at its centre.
In the Mood for Love
Wong Kar-wai's most acclaimed and popular film is a love story about two neighbours (Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung) who are drawn together by the long absences of their respective spouses + a newly released short companion piece from 2001.
Dancing Home
In 2015 internationally acclaimed Paiwan choreographer Bulareyaung Pagarlava returned to his hometown and established a new dance company for indigenous youth, rooted to nature and ancient tradition. This is their story.
Folktales
Pasvik Folk High School in Norway provides a very special gap year education. Located in the far north, it teaches arctic survival skills (bushcraft and hunting) and dog sledding (mushing).
Materialists
Celine Song's follow-up to Past Lives is a witty and good-looking romantic comedy with a female eye, unafraid to broach more serious themes.
Sweet Angel Baby
Everybody likes Eliza. But nobody really knows her. When her social media alter ego is exposed, the entire town is scandalized...
Paprika
A device capable of transmitting dreams falls into the wrong hands in this dazzling anime meta-movie from visionary filmmaker Satoshi Kon. The imagery here is never less than overwhelming; it's probably the greatest scifi movie of our times.
It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley
Oscar-nominated documentarian Amy Berg resurrects the tragic story of the sublime singer Jeff Buckley, whose 1994 record Grace is one of the greatest albums of the modern era.
Melancholia
Lars von Trier squares up to the end times with this grandly luxuriant but surprisingly punky sci-fi, set in an imposing country mansion house, where Justine (Kirsten Dunst) blows up what's supposed to be the happiest day of her life.

Celebrates Oscar Peterson's centenary with an evening of Canadian jazz and film. Triology — Jodi Proznick (bass), Bill Coon (guitar) and Miles Black (piano) — pays tribute to the legendary Oscar Peterson, followed by cult thriller The Silent Partner.
