28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
Expanding upon the world created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in 28 YEARS LATER -- but turning that world on its head -- Nia DaCosta directs 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. In a continuation of the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) makes a discovery that could change the world as they know it -- and Spike's (Alfie Williams) encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O'Connell) becomes a nightmare he can't escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the only threat to survival -- the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.
"What makes your own skin crawl isn’t just the hideousness of the violence but the unblinking matter-of-factness with which DaCosta films it. She serves it straight up, without gusto -- and does not leave you hungry for more." (The New Yorker)
"[Ralph] Fiennes’ outrageous pageantry sharpens “The Bone Temple” into a tragedy as opposed to just another bloodbath." (Salon.com)
"[Nia] DaCosta’s film is a macabre morality tale about the best and worst of human nature. It is utterly brutal, and one of the most compelling so far." (Observer UK)
"This may be another zombie movie about the inhumanity of man, but it’s also deeply, triumphantly humane." (The Atlantic)
"It might seem silly to invoke 'The Lord of the Rings' as a point of comparison, but Garland and Boyle -- and now DaCosta -- are working in a similarly mythic, epic register." (The Ringer)

Mr. Nobody Against Putin
Pavel "Pasha" (33) is a teacher and event organizer at a small primary school in a Russian town with a population of 10,000. In ordinary times, he is a beloved mentor, prankster, and nonconformist, known for hanging up democracy posters and offering a safe haven in his office for students who feel out of place.
However, after the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Pasha took on the role of an international whistleblower, exposing the devastating effects of Russia's aggressive militarization within its own schools. Haunted by his painful years as a student at the same school, Pasha remains a lighthearted and mischievous presence on campus. Yet his mission as a teacher is challenged when a new patriotic education policy is introduced during the early weeks of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Pasha is shocked to learn that his responsibilities now include facilitating daily state-sanctioned propaganda events. To cope with his guilt and feelings of powerlessness, he decides to document how the war is transforming his school. Under the guise of his actual role as the school's videographer, he records hundreds of hours of footage inside classrooms and on school grounds.
What emerges is the story of an institution abruptly transformed: propaganda, repressive new laws, militarized children's organizations, and the eventual recruitment of graduating students to fight in Ukraine. Pasha reaches his emotional breaking point as he films farewell parties for cherished students being sent to the frontlines in Ukraine. As the body bags return, Pasha and the rest of the school community grapple with the twin traumas of violence and repression. When Pasha learns his own life may be in danger, he is forced to plan a daring escape from Russia.
MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN is Denmark's official submission for 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 98th Academy Awards in 2026, and is currently nominated for an Oscar in the Best Documentary Feature category.
"A touching, intimate chronicle." (The Hollywood Reporter)
"An endearing, infuriating, and despairing non-fiction portrait of a country’s final descent into oppressive authoritarianism, all of it shot covertly by one brave teacher, it’s a striking work of rebel cinema." (The Daily Beast)
"An exemplary work of cinematic modernism, a reflexive film that turns its genesis into its subject and its moral essence." (The New Yorker)
"His principled resistance by filming, joking and refusing to teach lies makes for a riveting, courageous portrait of dissent in a place where truth can land you in jail -- or a cemetery." (Toronto Star)

Pillion
Colin (Harry Melling) is a young gay man who lives with his parents and sings in a barbershop quartet. He meets Ray (Alexander Skarsgard), a leather-clad, hyper-masculine biker straight out of a Tom of Finland drawing. They hook up in a dark alleyway — a one-way transaction that sets the power dynamic for their relationship. Colin naturally adopts the role of submissive, learning to cook and clean alongside whatever else Ray tasks him with. Despite his aptitude for obedience, Colin grows tired of sleeping on the floor and begins to wish for more.
"'Call Me by Your Name' meets 'Phantom Thread' in leather chaps. Harry Lighton’s debut feature is a horny, wickedly funny exploration of the sub-dom relationship. Melling and Skarsgard ignite the screen with physically and emotionally intimate performances and authentic chemistry. An orgy of sex and kink that playfully examines themes of power, autonomy, compromise, but most importantly, love." (VIFF 2025)
"Even the most Netflix-gagged romcom fan will realize that [director Harry] Lighton’s film is exactly the shot in the arm the genre needed. May we all live so happily ever after." (Globe and Mail)
"In this queer BDSM romdomcom with a core of sweetness, Alexander Sarsgård and Harry Melling bring passion and compassion to a taboo subject rare in mainstream cinema. It’s about time." (Peter Travers)
"You want screen representation of a highly specific queer lifestyle? You’ll get it. But Pillion never forgets there’s a deeper story happening underneath all the sex." (Rolling Stone)
"The sex scenes are refreshingly graphic, but they’re never used for shock value. The real shock comes from how emotionally involved the characters become within the construct of their kink." (Boston Globe)

Sirāt
A father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar -- daughter and sister -- who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading, but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.
SIRÂT is currently nominated for two Oscars, including Best International Feature and Best Sound.
"A brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination, 'Sirât' is an unforgettable exercise in tension that wallops its audience like a deafening blast of bass to the face." (Rotten Tomatoes)

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie
Almost 20 years into their fruitless quest to book their band a gig at a hallowed Toronto venue, co-creators Matt (writer-director Matt Johnson) and Jay (writer-composer Jay McCarrol) decide it’s time to pull out all the stops. Displaced in the past, these serial bumblers inadvertently wreak havoc on the timeline, dramatically (and hilariously) rewriting their futures.
Overflowing with pop culture references, wild gags, and inspired set pieces, NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE is gloriously ridiculous, endlessly clever, and riotously entertaining. This one is for all the deranged dreamers out there.
"The shrewd visual trickery and sleight-of-hand editing that collapse the distance between the original series’ zero-budget aesthetic and this more comfortably subsidized version can’t actually erase the passage of time. If anything, they deepen it. Content collapsed." (The Ringer)

Arco
Set in the year 2027, French comic book artists turned filmmaker Ugo Beinvenu's ARCO tells the story of a 10-year-old girl, Iris, who sees a mysterious boy wearing a rainbow jumpsuit falling from the sky. It's Arco. He comes from a distant, idyllic future where time travel is possible. Iris takes him in and will do whatever it takes to help him return home. The star-studded English voice cast includes Will Ferrell, Natalie Portman, Andy Samberg and Mark Ruffalo The film blends Ghibli-esque wonder with serious themes about humanity's future and connection to nature, and is perfect for animation lovers of all ages.
"A sweet, immersive glimpse at two of our futures, and it’s clear-eyed about which aspects of those worlds we want to avoid, and which ones we have to pursue." (TheWrap)
"Like a cross between a Studio Ghibli joint and “Interstellar,” “Arco,” by the French comic-book artist turned filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu, strikes a lovely balance between fantastical kid-friendly wholesomeness and real-world bleakness." (New York Times)
"'Arco' is a children’s adventure set in world that’s literally on fire, which makes the moments of childlike wonder and connection all the more endearing and vital." (Slant Magazine)
"When filmmakers attempt to replicate Ghibli, they often come off leaden and overwritten—“Mononoke” made too many think that Hayao never had a sense of humor—so it’s nice to see a filmmaker who values whimsy as much as message." (RogerEbert.com)

A Poet
Middle-aged and erratic, Oscar is a failed writer who has given up on life. Unemployed and living with family, he wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in his home country, where he has succumbed to the cliché of the tortured artist. However, the opportunity to mentor a young student offers a chance at redemption, if he doesn't screw it up first. In a performance marked by darkly comic pathos, first-time actor Ubeimar Rios stars in Simón Mesa Soto's Un Certain Regard Jury Prize-winner A POET, a raw and riotous farce about how good deeds are often met with the universe's idea of cruel and unusually poetic punishment.
"Anchored by writer-director Simón Mesa Soto's wry detail and Ubeimar Rios' brilliantly uneasy performance, A Poet uses the tortured artist archetype to craft a story that's as darkly funny as it is unexpectedly affecting." (Rotten Tomatoes)
"'A Poet' is worth seeing for the moments of genuine emotion and elegiac contemplation, the wry humor, Rios’s unguarded performance, and the gritty production design and cinematography." (Chicago Reader)
"A comedy that’s frequently smart in its consideration of art, class, commerce and curdled ambition. But if poetry is about saying a lot in a little, then by the end of its two-hour runtime A Poet comes off more like funny but flabby prose." (Wall Street Journal)

Singin' In The Rain
Rain-couver is here to stay, so grab your galoshes, oil down your slicker and pop up your umbrella as the Park Theatre pays tribute to that 1952, silver screen classic SINGIN' IN THE RAIN!
"The three stars–Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and 19-year-old Debbie Reynolds–must have rehearsed endlessly for their dance numbers, which involve alarming acrobatics, but in performance they’re giddy with joy. Kelly’s soaking-wet “Singin’ in the Rain” dance number is “the single most memorable dance number on film,” Peter Wollen wrote in a British Film Institute monograph. I’d call it a tie with Donald O’Connor’s breathtaking “Make ’em Laugh” number, in which he manhandles himself like a cartoon character.
The verdict of the years knows better than Oscar: “Singin’ in the Rain” is a transcendent experience, and no one who loves movies can afford to miss it." (Robert Ebert)

Bugonia
Oscar-winning filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (POOR THINGS, THE FAVOURITE, THE LOBSTER) brings his signature, bold and irreverent storytelling style to BUGONIA, an English-language remake of Jang Joon-hwan's 2003 South Korean film SAVE THE GREEN PLANET! This darkly satiric comedy thriller about a pair of conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company because they are convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth, finds the director re-uniting with muse Emma Stone (who took home her second Oscar for her memorable turn as Bella in POOR THINGS) and Jesse Plemons (KINDS OF KINDESS). With Alicia Silverstone, Aidan Delbis.
BUGONIA is currently nominated for three Golden Globe Awards, including for Best Film (Musical or Comedy), as well as for performances from Emma Stone (Best Actress -Musical or Comedy Film) and Jesse Plemons (Best Actor -Musical or Comedy Film).
"Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are at the top of their game in 'Bugonia', a bonkers black comedy that applies director Yorgos Lanthimos' whip-smart method to modern society's madness." (Rotten Tomatoes)
"This takes me back to [Yorgos Lanthimos'] 'Dogtooth' in the bold weirdness of it and the challenge of, "Are you going to go with us on this trip or not?" (FilmWeek)
"The characters might be demented, but 'Bugonia' is a crueller, funnier, sharper proposition, more grounded and gritty than the wigged-out weirdness of the film on which it is based." (Guardian UK)
"Perhaps this nihilism will prove too trenchant and reactive for some viewers. That’s perfectly fine: Sometimes it feels good to scream for help, even if it will never come." (Salon.com)

Following the massive success of both CREED and BLACK PANTHER franchises American director Ryan Coogler is again reuniting with one of the stars of those films, Michael B. Jordan, in an entirely new vision of fear: SINNERS. One of the most critically acclaimed and talked about movies of 2025, Golden Globe-winner SINNERS is currently nominated for a record-braking 16 Oscars.
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan, in a dual role) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. With Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, and Delroy Lindo.
"'Sinners' is a redemption movie, a revenge movie with elements of Blaxploitation, and certainly a red-blood-soaked horror movie; it’s also deeply romantic and has the rhythms and audaciousness of some of our boldest musicals." (Filmspotting)
"It’s both a wildly ambitious meditation on American history and a rip-roaring good time." (Slate)
"It is a phantasm of Black Southern delights." (New York Magazine / Vulture)
"An awe-inspiring ode to what music means to communities and cultures." (Chicago Reader)

Sentimental Value
Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father -- and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.
The latest tragi-comedy / family drama from acclaimed Danish-Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier finds him re-teaming with actress Renate Reinsve (THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD) in SENTIMENTAL VALUE, which is one of the most lauded films of 2025. It won the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for 8 Golden Globe Awards, and won Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture, Stellan Skarsgård.
"A fantastic showcase for Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård, and another strong piece from director Joachim Trier, this is a moving drama that lingers long." (Empire Magazine)
"Stellan Skarsgård is magnificent as the charismatic, unreliable Gustav, but the film’s secret weapon is Elle Fanning’s hapless US starlet." (Observer UK)
"Better (and far cheaper) than group therapy, Sentimental Value is a thoughtful and moving exploration of the long tail of family dynamics." (Time Out)
"Trier’s film overflows with the kind of genuinely impactful potential that we go to the movies for, the type that leaves us feeling understood more than it makes us feel good." (Salon.com)

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie
Almost 20 years into their fruitless quest to book their band a gig at a hallowed Toronto venue, co-creators Matt (writer-director Matt Johnson) and Jay (writer-composer Jay McCarrol) decide it’s time to pull out all the stops. Displaced in the past, these serial bumblers inadvertently wreak havoc on the timeline, dramatically (and hilariously) rewriting their futures.
Overflowing with pop culture references, wild gags, and inspired set pieces, NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE is gloriously ridiculous, endlessly clever, and riotously entertaining. This one is for all the deranged dreamers out there.
"The shrewd visual trickery and sleight-of-hand editing that collapse the distance between the original series’ zero-budget aesthetic and this more comfortably subsidized version can’t actually erase the passage of time. If anything, they deepen it. Content collapsed." (The Ringer)
"A thrilling, roof-shaking blast." (A thrilling, roof-shaking blast." (Slate)

Sirāt
A father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar -- daughter and sister -- who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading, but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.
SIRÂT is currently nominated for two Oscars, including Best International Feature and Best Sound.
"A brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination, 'Sirât' is an unforgettable exercise in tension that wallops its audience like a deafening blast of bass to the face." (Rotten Tomatoes)
"'Sirāt' brilliantly depicts that bubble breaking, its characters confronted with what it really means to be a citizen of the world, rather than gliding above it, with the music turned up loud enough to not have to listen. " (New York Magazine / Vulture)
"It’s near-unbearable, and as powerful as it is narratively useful. " (New York Times)
"[Director] Laxe stages a deathly pas de deux between humanity and nature, with technology -- embodied here by worn-down speakers and rusted vehicles -- as a mediator that begets both agony and ecstasy. " (Globe and Mail)
"'Sirāt' is not for everyone. But it is the sort of overwhelming cinematic experience and undeniable work of sound and vision that could be life-changing for those ready to receive it." (Rolling Stone Magazine)

Kokuho
Lee Sang-il’s surprise hit of 2025, KOKUHO (which translates as, "national treasure"), a nearly three-hour epic period drama about the cloistered world of traditional kabuki theater, has defied expectations and become Japan’s top-grossing domestic live-action film of all time. It was selected as Japan’s 2026 Oscar submission for Best International Feature, and is currently nominated for a Best Makeup and Hairstyling Academy Award.
KOKUHO traces five decades in the intertwined lives of two kabuki actors: an orphaned outsider and the heir of a prestigious stage family, whose friendship curdles into obsession and rivalry. Adapting a novel by Shuichi Yoshida, Lee — best known internationally for VILLAIN and RAGE — has crafted a “transporting and operatic” story that “blends backstage melodrama, succession saga and making-of-an-artist dynamics” into a sweeping meditation on ambition, artistry and sacrifice. With Ryo Yoshizawa, Ryusei Yokohama, Ken Watanabe, Mitsuki Takahata, and Shinobu Terajima.
"A visual knockout that patiently explores the price that artists pay for their craft, Kokuho's astonishing technical virtues are only rivaled by Ryô Yoshizawa and Ryûsei Yokohama's superb performances." (Rotten Tomatoes)
"The average response to seeing a nearly three-hour Japanese movie about the art of Kabuki may be that it’s not your cup of (green) tea. But, you’d be sacrificing one of the awards season’s most gorgeous and stirring movies." (AARP Movies for Grownups)
"Yet, even as it periodically languishes, the film comes back around, with some moving flourishes, to stamp its idea: To witness these vicissitudes over a lifetime, is to see the beauty, bloodshed and loneliness of true artistic greatness. " (New York Times)
"At the center of its superb cast, Ryo Yoshizawa and Ryusei Yokohama deliver exquisitely layered performances that interweave offstage characterization and onstage theatricality. " (The Hollywood Reporter)

The President's Cake
While people across 1990's Iraq struggle to survive, 9-year old Lamia has been selected to prepare a cake to celebrate the President's birthday. In a landscape of fear and scarcity, where basic ingredients are nearly impossible to find, Lamia sets out on a determined journey throughout the big city in search of eggs, flour, and sugar. Accompanied by her grandmother, her loyal friend Saeed, and her pet rooster Hindi, she navigates vendors and police officers along the way use her wits and imagination to gather ingredients and prepare the mandatory cake in THE PRESIDENT’S CAKE.
Writer-director Hasan Hadi's THE PRESIDENT'S CAKE won the Audience Award and the Caméra d'Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and was selected as the Iraqi entry for Best International Feature Film for the 2026 Oscars.
"A tenderly crafted, often devastating portrait of childhood in rural Iraq, 'The President's Cake' vividly brings to life its morally complex world through richly drawn characters and intimate storytelling." (Rotten Tomatoes)
"Shot entirely in the director’s home country with a largely amateur, untrained cast, the film blends a striking sense of street-level realism, political commentary and poetic nostalgia for the naive innocence of youth." (Globe and Mail)
"The bonds of the children, Bibi, the postman, and a very few others in their circle endow “The President’s Cake” with a grandly humanistic warmth that’s all the stronger for the mighty pressure under which it’s forged." (The New Yorker)
"While “The President’s Cake” mostly plays like a genial fairy tale, with superbly balanced humor and drama, Hadi is still unsparing about the ills of patriarchal society. It is a compassionate and winsome debut, packed with an unassuming punch." (Variety)
"From the pastoral beauty of its opening sequence to the gut punch of its last, Hadi’s film is an exceptional screen debut, as perceptive as it is kinetic and, with one eye on the bombers overhead, brimming with life." (The Hollywood Reporter)
