Eccentric and, in the end deeply moving, we follow twelve-year-old Bailey (Nykiya Adams, a formidable revelation) living in a squat with her young father Bug (Barry Keoghan), the king of hustle. Independent and rebellious, she roams the streets and fields and meets the enigmatic Bird, whose initiatory quest she will embrace. To this wholly magical character, Franz Rogowski brings his talents as a dancer and choreographer, with his distinctive way of inhabiting space. Visually splendid and emotionally rich, deeply empathetic and full of genuine hope, BIRD is completely mesmerizing.

He sets off on a road trip to some of Quebec's First Nations communities in search of meaning, healing and another way of reading the world. He tries to understand the ravages of colonialism perpetrated on these nations by a system that still favors it. He seeks to see what has been done in his name, with the intuition that through these people, he will better understand his own distress. His journey takes him as far as the prison system, where the over-representation of First Nations people is symptomatic of the traumas these communities have inherited, and of the systemic racism that persists.

Summoned to an isolated seaside estate on a secret assignment, Marianne (Noémie Merlant) must find a way to paint a wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), who is resisting chattel marriage, by furtively observing her. What unfolds in exquisite tension is an exchange of sustained gazes in which the two women come to know each other's gestures, expressions, and bodies with rapturous intimacy, ultimately forging a subversive creative collaboration as well as a delirious romance. Charged with a yearning that almost transcends time and space, Portrait of a Lady on Fire mines the emotional and artistic possibilities that emerge when women can freely live together and see one another in a world without men.

Searching for answers, we grabbed our camera and immersed ourselves for nearly four years in our children's world-a realm where each small act is extraordinary and where each story remains untold. Little Béatrice, with her boundless 3-year-old energy, plunges us into her lively world of make-believe. While her elder brother Émile, now learning to read and write, begins to ask questions like, "Are atoms alive?" Gradually, Émile also shows an interest in his father's camera. Through a mix of observational style and lyrical visuals from a child's point of view, this cinematographic journey prompts us to reflect: What do we lose as we grow up? And what stories of life do we wish to pass down to them? View prices Buy tickets General 10,00 $ Student, senior 65+, child 8,00 $ Other prices

Featuring an ethereal score courtesy Dan Levy of indie pop band The Dø and arresting images from the lens of DP Robrecht Heyvaert, Clapin-director of the Academy Award-nominated hand-drawn animation I LOST MY BODY-creates a rich, strange, and vitally original meditation on grief in his first (mostly) live-action feature.

	Portrait de la jeune fille en feu Next date : Friday November 29, 2024 at 20:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema • Drama Céline Sciamma \| 2019 \| France \| 119 min \| French Passion brews quietly between an artist and her subject, until together they create a space in which it can briefly flourish, in this sumptuous eighteenth-century romance from Céline Sciamma, one of contemporary French cinema's most acclaimed auteurs. Summoned to an isolated seaside estate on a secret assignment, Marianne (Noémie Merlant) must find a way to paint a wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), who is resisting chattel marriage, by furtively observing her. What unfolds in exquisite tension is an exchange of sustained gazes in which the two women come to know each other's gestures, expressions, and bodies with rapturous intimacy, ultimately forging a subversive creative collaboration as well as a delirious romance. Charged with a yearning that almost transcends time and space, Portrait of a Lady on Fire mines the emotional and artistic possibilities that emerge when women can freely live together and see one another in a world without men.

	À hauteur d'enfant Next date : Tuesday December 10, 2024 at 18:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema • Documentary Mélanie Carrier, Olivier Higgins / 2024 / Québec (Canada) / 93 min / French As filmmakers who became parents in a North American suburb, we asked ourselves how to explain life to our children. Searching for answers, we grabbed our camera and immersed ourselves for nearly four years in our children's world-a realm where each small act is extraordinary and where each story remains untold. Little Béatrice, with her boundless 3-year-old energy, plunges us into her lively world of make-believe. While her elder brother Émile, now learning to read and write, begins to ask questions like, "Are atoms alive?" Gradually, Émile also shows an interest in his father's camera. Through a mix of observational style and lyrical visuals from a child's point of view, this cinematographic journey prompts us to reflect: What do we lose as we grow up? And what stories of life do we wish to pass down to them? View prices Buy tickets General 10,00 $ Student, senior 65+, child 8,00 $ Other prices
