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?

Alonso Ruizpalacios | 2024 | Mexico, United States | 139 min | English, Spanish, French, Arabic with English subtitles
It's the lunch rush at The Grill in Manhattan, and money has gone missing from the till. All the undocumented cooks are being investigated, and Pedro (Raúl Briones) is the prime suspect. He's a dreamer and a troublemaker, and in love with Julia (Rooney Mara), an American waitress who cannot commit to a relationship. Rashid, The Grill's owner, has promised to help Pedro with his papers so he can "become legal". But a shocking revelation about Julia compels Pedro to spiral into an act that will stop the production line of one of the city's busiest kitchens once and for all. La Cocina is a tragic and comic tribute to the invisible people who keep our restaurants running and our stomachs full, whilst chasing a perhaps unreachable version of the American dream.

Martin Fournier, Pier-Luc Latulippe | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 71 min | French
This moving documentary follows Simon and Marianne during their final weeks together. Suffering from incurable brain cancer, writer and college literature teacher Simon Roy has requested medical assistance in dying. Filmmakers Pier-Luc Latulippe and Martin Fournier compose spellbinding vignettes of this couple's daily life in cozy black and white, wrapped in a delicate sound design. From their discussions emerge, with disarming lucidity, their relationship to death, but above all to life and love. Filled with tenderness and at the protagonists' pace, these intimate moments are captured using meticulous still shots with respect devoid of voyeurism. Although confrontational, this luminous film emerges as a celebration of the present moment. (RIDM)

Félix Rose | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 108 min | French
An unprecedented language crisis unfolded in the heart of the town of Saint-Leonard in 1968-1969. French-speaking parents demanded French-only schools, while members of the Italian community wanted to preserve bilingual schools. The conflict spread throughout Québec, creating enormous tensions that degenerated into violence and culminated in a bloody riot. LA BATAILLE DE SAINT-LÉONARD tells the story of Raymond Lemieux and Mario Barone, two remarkable yet forgotten men of modest origins, who each fought with strength and conviction, despite the heavy consequences to themselves, their families, and their professional lives. Their struggle changed the destiny of Québec and led to the adoption of the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101).

Fernando Di Leo | 1972 | Italy | 88 min | Italian, English with English subtitles
Fernando Di Leo's Italian crime classic CALIBER 9 (MILANO CALIBRO 9, 1972) is presented here in a stunning restoration. Small-time gangster Ugo Piazza (Gastone Moschin, THE GODFATHER PART II) has just been released from prison. He tries to convince the police, the mafia, and his one-time associate Rocco (Mario Adorf, THE TIN DRUM), a sadistic hoodlum who enjoys sick violence and torture, that he wants to go straight, but everyone believes he has $300,000 of stolen money hidden somewhere. CALIBER 9's stylized violence, fast-paced action sequences, tight editing and plot twists prefigure the work of Quentin Tarantino and John Woo. The film also features a notable score by Luis Bacalov (DJANGO) and the stunning Barbara Bouchet (CASINO ROYALE) as Ugo's go-go dancing girlfriend.

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.

Maura Delpero | 2024 | Italy, France | 119 min | Italian with French subtitles
The lush and breathtaking beauty of the Alps, filmed with painterly grace under natural light from frigid winter to redemptive spring, provides the physical and emotional backdrop for Vermiglio, Maura Delpero's visionary film, which won the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
This singular portrait of a sprawling family, set in the small, mountainous village of Vermiglio during the waning days of WWII, follows a series of dramatic, consequential events after the arrival of a taciturn Sicilian soldier (Giuseppe De Domenico), who hides out in town after deserting the army. While there, the soldier develops a romance with the family's eldest daughter, Lucia (Martina Scrinzi).
Vermiglio portrays the lives of a provincial family in a remote village suspended in time by the customs of a fading era. Conjuring stories from her own family's past, Delpero creates a deeply personal and human tale that recalls the great neorealist movement in Italian cinema. Yet, through Lucia's perspective, Vermiglio feels distinct and novel.

Nate Wilson | 2023 | Canada | 72 min | English
A laid-up polyamorous bicycle courier discovers that her older, scholarly boyfriend has been keeping a sinister secret in his closet.
Nate Wilson's THE ALL GOLDEN pulses with an energy that can only be described as wild. It is a film that rejects definition and challenges our understanding of genre as it dekes in and out of its metafiction narrative, recalling its own existence along with the history of cinema. Blending the surreal dreamscapes of the likes of Guy Maddin with the raw, chaotic edge of internet culture, Wilson's bold maximalist study of the complexity of relationships, loneliness, and the state of it all gives its audience a glimpse into the future of film and a whole lot to talk about once the credits roll!
Preceded by SERVE THE COUNTRY by Fabian Velasco and Milos Mitrovic.

Oksana Karpovych | 2024 | Québec (Canada), France, Ukraine | 93 min | Russian, Ukrainian with French subtitles
Ukrainian intelligence services have intercepted thousands of phone calls Russian soldiers made from the battlefield in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia, painting a stark picture of the cruelty of war in a dizzying emotional tension. Juxtaposed with images of the destruction caused by the invasion and the day-to-day life of the Ukrainian people who resist and rebuild, the voices of the Russian soldiers – ranging from being filled with heroic illusions to complete disappointment and loss of reason, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment – expose the whole scope of the dehumanizing power of war and imperialist nature of the Russian aggression.

Sylvain L'Espérance | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 71 min | no dialogues
RIDM - Special Jury Prize for national feature competition
Far from a picture-perfect postcard, this film offers a personal view of the Minganie landscapes in Quebec's Côte-Nord region. Following the rhythm imposed by the elements, Sylvain L'Espérance patiently observes the sea, plants, rocks, and clouds cohabitate and their interactions with the contrasting sunlight. Through visual and sound research of great aesthetic precision, asserts a natural reality that exists only through the artistic gaze cast with the help of a technique that imposes its presence and that of the filmmaker. This feature film embodies the potential and limits of its digital source in an approach that at times turns the material abstract. L'Archéologie de la lumière is a film of infinite detail and is part of the experimental approach of a filmmaker with an infectious curiosity and unique point of view. (HSB)
