My American Cousin
Sandy is 12 and bored. Enter Butch in a screaming red Cadillac. He's 16 going on James Dean and about the most exciting thing to hit Penticton since rock-n-roll. Sandy Wilson's first feature -- 40 years young -- is a Canadian coming-of-age classic.
The Barbarian Invasions
Arcand's belated sequel finds his erstwhile "sensual socialist" facing terminal cancer and trying to make peace with his financier son. This is one of the most acclaimed Canadian films ever made, garlanded all over the world.
The Players
In this intense semi-autobiographical debut feature, teenager Emily (the remarkable Stefani Kimber) joins an experimental theatre troupe led by the charismatic Reinhardt (Eric Johnson). It will be a rite of passage fraught with menace. Rated: PG
Who by Fire
Jeff, a 17-year-old aspiring filmmaker, goes on vacation with his friend Max and his family to an isolated lodge. Philippe Lesage’s film is a tense, mesmerizing tour de force that is both agonizing and cathartic. A Berlinale award winner.
Crocodile Eyes
Drawing on home movies and her immediate family relations, Ingrid Veninger sets out to make a film comprising 100 "real moments": birth, death, and the in-between. Minutes mundane and momentous, personal histories, memories shared.
Village Keeper
In Karen Chapman’s sensitive debut feature, a widowed mother desperate to shelter her teenage daughter and son from a surge of gun violence in Toronto takes it upon herself to cleanse the blood from crime scenes in her Lawrence Heights neighbourhood.
