INFO


The 4:30 Movie (Kevin Smith, 2024)

A group of teens in the 1980s spend the day theatre-hopping.


All About Eve

"What book of rules says the theatre exists only within some ugly buildings crowded into one square mile of New York City? Or London? Paris or Vienna? Listen, Junior, and learn. Do you wanna know what the theatre is? A flea circus. Also opera. Also rodeos, carnivals, ballets, Indian tribal dances, Punch and Judy, a one-man band, all theatre. Wherever there's magic and make-believe and an audience, there's theatre. Donald Duck, Ibsen and The Lone Ranger. Sarah Bernhardt and Poodles Hanneford. Lunt and Fontanne, Betty Grable. Rex the Wild Horse, Eleonora Duse, all theatre. You don't understand them all. You don't like them all. Why should you? The theatre's for everybody, you included, but not exclusively. So, don't approve or disapprove. It may not be your theatre, but it's theatre for somebody, somewhere."


comedic drama, Luton, 1987-88. Pakistani immigrant boy oppressed by his father’s rigid rules and cowed by the aggressions of local neo-Nazi youths. When Javed listens to Bruce Springsteen, the lyrics swirl around him on screen and he is transformed. 

The Mass Is Ended (1985, Italy, Nanni Maretti) 

"A young priest, Don Giulio, struggles to maintain his faith. Having been a radical college student in the 1960s, Don Giulio has now rejected his long hair and liberal ideals in favor of the church. He has himself transferred to his home parish, only to discover the church empty and the town indifferent. Meanwhile, Don Giulio’s friends from his radical days begin popping up with their lives in serious disarray. Don Giulio seeks solace with his beloved family, but his family too is in chaos. The director's follow-up, The Son's Room, was a stunner." VIFF


The Settlers  

In 1893, Segundo, a Chilean mestizo, an English army captain, and an American mercenary embark on an expedition on horseback to reclaim the lands that the State has granted to José Menéndez. What appears to be an administrative expedition turns into a violent hunt for Onas, the natives of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago.
