Nuisance Bear
Winner of the highly coveted Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Documentary, Nuisance Bear follows a polar bear through Churchill, Manitoba, where the town profits from bears as spectacle while treating their arrival as a problem.
Whatcha Want
Whatcha Want, a hip-hop-infused drama from award-winning Vancouverite Mina Shum (Meditation Park), sees a restless trophy wife from Hong Kong rise above her wealthy husband’s infidelity by rekindling her passion for dance.
The Flight
The Flight follows three Iranian-Canadian families seeking justice after Flight PS752 was shot down, offering a compassionate and forceful tribute to grief, resilience, and community advocacy.
Midnight Momo
Kunga, a waiter at a Queens momo shop, finds himself trapped in a loop of the final minutes of his shift. Midnight Momo is a frenetic, distinctly Tibetan American indie comedy that puts a working-class spin on the Buddhist cycle of suffering and rebirth.
WOLF
Narrated by Tilda Swinton, WOLF contrasts the chaotic wilderness of musician Patrick Wolf’s early career with his current cultivation of a more contemplative life. This is a tender portrait of an artist rediscovering himself to prevail against the odds.
