André-Line Beauparlant | 2026 | Québec (Canada) | 96 min | French with English subtitles

 

"Making documentaries means accepting that life flows through the film." In this daringly intimate documentary, André-Line Beauparlant turns her camera towards the life and work of her lover, filmmaker Robert Morin. Through a collage of film excerpts, archival footage, recorded discussions, and personal photographs, she reveals the ins and outs and the highs and lows of their collaboration on, off, and behind the screen. Tracing a double biography that contemplates love, obsession, death, and the passage of time, This Love, These Days is a love letter, a journal of everyday life, and a resolutely feminist proposition: to imagine artmaking as a coming together.

Cinema • Documentary
Matteo Keffer, Riccardo Cremona | 2024 | Italy | 90 min | Italian with French subtitles

 

Like There is no Tomorrow is a documentary film that intimately tells the story of a group of activists engaged in a campaign of non-violent civil disobedience. As in many other European countries, the Ultima Generazione group has attracted the attention of the media and politicians through roadblocks and controversial defacement of institutional buildings and works of art. They define themselves as the last generation that has the possibility of slowing down the exponential growth of the climate crisis.

The documentary tells, through the eyes and stories of five of them, what happens behind the scenes of the protests, and what it means to expose yourself in the first person. In the background of the activists' journey, stories emerge of territories and communities already affected by the negative effects of the climate crisis, omens of a future that appears more uncertain than ever. A film that tells of our difficulty in being a community and of the desire, despite everything, to try again together to imagine a better tomorrow.

In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha and her Hungarian immigrant family relocate to a new home on Vancouver Island. Their fresh start is interrupted by increasingly dangerous behaviour from the eldest son Jeremy, whose anti-social tendencies manifest in increasingly dangerous ways. At wit's end, the parents enlist the help of social services and are presented with a shattering solution: turning Jeremy over to professional care. Award-winning director Sophy Romvari's semi-autobiographical feature debut is a lyrical meditation on the power of memory and a profound testament to the legacy of grief, masterfully chronicling the intense personal journey of facing and reconciling the past.

In the Forest is a documentary essay that explores the deep connections between humans, animals, and the forest. Through fragments of lives that intersect, echo, or contradict one another, the film gradually weaves the portrait of a rich, complex, and sometimes unsettling world where the desire to protect coexists with the drive to exploit. Moving between realism, political engagement, and dreamlike imagery, it reveals a forest that - in the face of multiplying climate upheavals and an accelerating sixth mass extinction - whispers, to those who know how to listen, the urgent need to safeguard the fragile balance between humanity, fauna, and flora.

Plusieurs cinéastes | 1962-1978 | Québec (Canada) | 50 min | French | With Yves Daoust in attendance

 

This program, presented in collaboration with Ballet Opéra Pantomime and the FTA, will be followed by a discussion with sound designer Yves Daoust.

On stage as in cinema, sound sets the scene with formidable efficiency, all the more powerful because it acts directly on perception, summoning personal imagery beyond the grasp of conscious awareness. In Querelle de Roberval, the design team took the bet of evocation through sound, drawing on the singular approach developed in the 1970s by the NFB's Sound Design and Production Workshop. Three films in which sound is given the leading role: Jour après jour (1962), for which Maurice Blackburn composed his most ambitious musique concrète score; Le plan sentimental, which reveals Yves Daoust's clear penchant for sonic docufiction; and finally, L'âge de chaise, whose musical fabric would later take on an autonomous life in Daoust's compositional work under the title Quatuor.

As our young hero zigzags determinedly across two towns aided (and sometimes misdirected) by those he encounters, his quest becomes both a revealing portrait of Iranian society in all its richness and complexity and a touching parable about the meaning of personal responsibility. Shot through with all the wonder, beauty, tension, and mystery one day can contain, Where is the Friend's House? established Kiarostami's reputation as one cinema's most sensitive and profound humanists.

The release of Lucrecia Martel's La Ciénaga heralded the arrival of an astonishingly vital and original voice in Argentine cinema. With a radical and disturbing take on narrative, beautiful cinematography, and a highly sophisticated use of on- and offscreen sound, Martel turns her tale of a dissolute bourgeois extended family, whiling away the hours of one sweaty, sticky summer, into a cinematic marvel. This visceral take on class, nature, sexuality, and the ways that political turmoil and social stagnation can manifest in human relationships is a drama of extraordinary tactility, and one of the great contemporary film debuts.

Erotic

 

Ayumi (Reiko Kataoka) juggles between her work as a call-girl and a life with a boyfriend unable to get into college. Soon, she meets Rei (Sawa Suzuki), a seasoned dominatrix aspiring to become a theater actor, who spends her free time rehearsing with a troupe that blurs the line between the stage and the bedroom. At the terminus of the Japanese Bubble era – evoked brilliantly here by neon-lit streets and chic interiors – both women bring the viewer into their nocturnal orbit, into a life dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, camaraderie and the joys of hanging out in the then-thriving – and perpetually horny – districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya.

Lino Brocka | 1988 | Philippines | 133 min | tagalog avec sous-titres anglais

Erotic

 

One of Lino Brocka's lasting successes, 1988's Macho Dancer admirably blends the maestro's flair for socially conscious melodrama with pulp provocation - as well as setting the template for what would become Viva Films' erotic niche to this day. Upon losing a reliable American client, 18-year-old gigolo Pol (Allan Paule) leaves his native province to try his luck in the soapy gay clubs of Manila. As Pol learns the ropes alongside fellow stripper Noel (Daniel Fernando) and savvy prostitute Bambi (Jaclyn Jose), he discovers more than his young mind bargained for: an underbelly of protection rackets, human trafficking and political corruption. Underlying the film's astutely cynical outlook on systemic, class-based exploitation in the Filipino context is a neon-lit tale of sexual self-discovery gyrating between queer desire and heteronormative strictures, sensuality and grit, tenderness and violence.

André-Line Beauparlant | 2026 | Québec (Canada) | 96 min | French with English subtitles

 

"Making documentaries means accepting that life flows through the film." In this daringly intimate documentary, André-Line Beauparlant turns her camera towards the life and work of her lover, filmmaker Robert Morin. Through a collage of film excerpts, archival footage, recorded discussions, and personal photographs, she reveals the ins and outs and the highs and lows of their collaboration on, off, and behind the screen. Tracing a double biography that contemplates love, obsession, death, and the passage of time, This Love, These Days is a love letter, a journal of everyday life, and a resolutely feminist proposition: to imagine artmaking as a coming together.

Matteo Keffer, Riccardo Cremona | 2024 | Italy | 90 min | Italian with French subtitles

 

Like There is no Tomorrow is a documentary film that intimately tells the story of a group of activists engaged in a campaign of non-violent civil disobedience. As in many other European countries, the Ultima Generazione group has attracted the attention of the media and politicians through roadblocks and controversial defacement of institutional buildings and works of art. They define themselves as the last generation that has the possibility of slowing down the exponential growth of the climate crisis.

The documentary tells, through the eyes and stories of five of them, what happens behind the scenes of the protests, and what it means to expose yourself in the first person. In the background of the activists' journey, stories emerge of territories and communities already affected by the negative effects of the climate crisis, omens of a future that appears more uncertain than ever. A film that tells of our difficulty in being a community and of the desire, despite everything, to try again together to imagine a better tomorrow.

Their fresh start is interrupted by increasingly dangerous behaviour from the eldest son Jeremy, whose anti-social tendencies manifest in increasingly dangerous ways. At wit's end, the parents enlist the help of social services and are presented with a shattering solution: turning Jeremy over to professional care. Award-winning director Sophy Romvari's semi-autobiographical feature debut is a lyrical meditation on the power of memory and a profound testament to the legacy of grief, masterfully chronicling the intense personal journey of facing and reconciling the past.

In the Forest is a documentary essay that explores the deep connections between humans, animals, and the forest. Through fragments of lives that intersect, echo, or contradict one another, the film gradually weaves the portrait of a rich, complex, and sometimes unsettling world where the desire to protect coexists with the drive to exploit. Moving between realism, political engagement, and dreamlike imagery, it reveals a forest that - in the face of multiplying climate upheavals and an accelerating sixth mass extinction - whispers, to those who know how to listen, the urgent need to safeguard the fragile balance between humanity, fauna, and flora.

Plusieurs cinéastes | 1962-1978 | Québec (Canada) | 50 min | French | With Yves Daoust in attendance

 

This program, presented in collaboration with Ballet Opéra Pantomime and the FTA, will be followed by a discussion with sound designer Yves Daoust.

On stage as in cinema, sound sets the scene with formidable efficiency, all the more powerful because it acts directly on perception, summoning personal imagery beyond the grasp of conscious awareness. In Querelle de Roberval, the design team took the bet of evocation through sound, drawing on the singular approach developed in the 1970s by the NFB's Sound Design and Production Workshop. Three films in which sound is given the leading role: Jour après jour (1962), for which Maurice Blackburn composed his most ambitious musique concrète score; Le plan sentimental, which reveals Yves Daoust's clear penchant for sonic docufiction; and finally, L'âge de chaise, whose musical fabric would later take on an autonomous life in Daoust's compositional work under the title Quatuor.

As our young hero zigzags determinedly across two towns aided (and sometimes misdirected) by those he encounters, his quest becomes both a revealing portrait of Iranian society in all its richness and complexity and a touching parable about the meaning of personal responsibility. Shot through with all the wonder, beauty, tension, and mystery one day can contain, Where is the Friend's House? established Kiarostami's reputation as one cinema's most sensitive and profound humanists.

The release of Lucrecia Martel's La Ciénaga heralded the arrival of an astonishingly vital and original voice in Argentine cinema. With a radical and disturbing take on narrative, beautiful cinematography, and a highly sophisticated use of on- and offscreen sound, Martel turns her tale of a dissolute bourgeois extended family, whiling away the hours of one sweaty, sticky summer, into a cinematic marvel. This visceral take on class, nature, sexuality, and the ways that political turmoil and social stagnation can manifest in human relationships is a drama of extraordinary tactility, and one of the great contemporary film debuts.

Returning to her native region fifteen years after the end of the Algerian War, Lila is haunted by memories of the War of Independence that shaped her childhood. Engaging in conversation with other Algerian women, she reflects on the differences between their lives and her own. Through lyrical imagery, she contemplates the power of the grandmothers who, from generation to generation, have passed on the traditions of anti-colonial resistance. The Nouba of the Women of Mount Chenoua is a captivating portrait of speech and silence, of memory and creation, and of a tradition where past and present coexist.

Erotic

 

Ayumi (Reiko Kataoka) juggles between her work as a call-girl and a life with a boyfriend unable to get into college. Soon, she meets Rei (Sawa Suzuki), a seasoned dominatrix aspiring to become a theater actor, who spends her free time rehearsing with a troupe that blurs the line between the stage and the bedroom. At the terminus of the Japanese Bubble era – evoked brilliantly here by neon-lit streets and chic interiors – both women bring the viewer into their nocturnal orbit, into a life dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, camaraderie and the joys of hanging out in the then-thriving – and perpetually horny – districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya.

Erotic

 

One of Lino Brocka's lasting successes, 1988's Macho Dancer admirably blends the maestro's flair for socially conscious melodrama with pulp provocation - as well as setting the template for what would become Viva Films' erotic niche to this day. Upon losing a reliable American client, 18-year-old gigolo Pol (Allan Paule) leaves his native province to try his luck in the soapy gay clubs of Manila. As Pol learns the ropes alongside fellow stripper Noel (Daniel Fernando) and savvy prostitute Bambi (Jaclyn Jose), he discovers more than his young mind bargained for: an underbelly of protection rackets, human trafficking and political corruption. Underlying the film's astutely cynical outlook on systemic, class-based exploitation in the Filipino context is a neon-lit tale of sexual self-discovery gyrating between queer desire and heteronormative strictures, sensuality and grit, tenderness and violence.
