François Delisle | 2024 | Québec (Canada) | 94 min | French, English, Russian with French subtitles
Not recommended for young children
Across various timelines and locations, four characters weave a web of stories that explore human resilience in the face of environmental upheaval. Marie, gripped by obsessive, heart-wrenching questions as a young mother whose child faces a dead-end future, channels her anxiety into passionate activism. Terence, a climate refugee, tells strangers his story in the hopes of finding asylum in the North. McKenzie, a state security officer, breaks the chains of the system to take control of his fate and feel alive at last. Then Kira, a soldier, deserts the army to join a nomadic tribe who are the guardians of humanist values. Waiting for the Storms is a fable about the climate crisis that transcends artistic boundaries to spark a dialogue between our past, present and future.

Johan Grimonprez | 2024 | Belgium, France, Netherlands | 150 min | English, French, Dutch, Russian with French subtitles
United Nations, 1960: the Global South ignites a political earthquake, jazz musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach crash the Security Council, Nikita Khrushchev bangs his shoe, and the U.S. State Department swings into action, sending jazz ambassador Louis Armstrong to Congo to deflect attention from the CIA-backed coup. Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations behind the 1961 assassination of Congo's leader Patrice Lumumba. Richly illustrated by eyewitness accounts, official government memos, testimonies from mercenaries and CIA operatives, speeches from Lumumba himself, and a veritable canon of jazz icons, SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D'ETAT interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that resonates more than ever in today's geopolitical climate.

For kids
Little Frida is the sunlight of her small Mexican village, where she spends her days carousing through the market, befriending a neighborhood street dog, and playing class clown. When a polio diagnosis casts a cloud over her spirit, she is forced into the solitude of her bedroom. But it's there that she finds solace in her imagination, a world brimming with color, flowers, and possibilities. When she is finally well enough to reenter the world, it's this inner spirit that guides her through the hardships in her life. Hola Frida recreates the early life of Frida Kahlo with the brightness and whimsy of her famous oeuvre alongside some unexpected plot points (like an athletic training montage!) to paint a portrait of the artist's childhood. A true Girls' POV story if there ever was one, this biopic frames freedom, feminism, and the zeitgeist of 20th century Mexico through the eyes of one sparkling, vibrant young girl. (New York International Children's Film Festival)

Olivier Assayas | 1996 | France | 98 min | French with English subtitles
Olivier Assayas's live-wire international breakthrough stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake of Louis Feuillade's classic silent crime serial LES VAMPIRES. What she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash, romantic attractions simmer, and an obsessive director (a cannily cast Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himself to the brink to realize his vision. Blending blasts of silent cinema, martial-arts flicks, and the music of Sonic Youth and Luna into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool, Assayas composes in IRMA VEP a witty critique of the nineties French film industry and the perennial tension between art and commercial entertainment.

Yuval Abraham, Basel Adra, Rachel Szor, Hamdan Ballal | 2024 | Palestine, Norway | 95 min | Arabic, Hebrew, English with English subtitles
Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families - the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel, living under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free. This film, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-created during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.

Spring 1972, Sept-Îles. The Front commun syndical takes on an insurrectionary air, raising hopes of workers' power. But a tragic attack puts an end to the dream. Pouvoir oublier shows how this uprising, far from heralding a break with the past, instead marked the culmination of a trade unionism tied to the state, where the hope of a better world sank into the shifting sands of realism.

Daniel Newell Kaufman | 2024 | United States | 83 min | English
The colossal rockface carving depicting three Confederate leaders – Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson – towers over Stone Mountain Park, on the outskirts of Atlanta. It's Georgia state's most popular tourist attraction. Daniel Kaufman's fascinating film profiles the locals living beneath it: an activist striving to be a voice for the town's majority Black community; an historian confronting his own legacy; a third generation Klansman who is fuelling renewed division in the region, and a civil rights organiser campaigning for the monument's destruction. Unfolding over a turbulent five years in the US, including a wave of anti-racist protests that saw the toppling of statues and monuments across the country, this visually arresting documentary reveals a divided community grappling with its troubled legacy and uncertain future.

An examination of the iconic 90s indie band, Pavements appears to be just another music documentary, until it doesn't. A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, metatextual hybrid, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation.

Nadine Beaudet | 2025 | Québec (Canada) | 101 min | français, anglais, innu-aimun
A driven but intimate work, this film recounts the history of Manicouagan (North Shore, Quebec) a legendary territory shaped by the impact of an asteroid 215 million years ago. From the St. Lawrence River to north of the 51st parallel, the legendary Route 389 brings us to the heart of this meteor crater to meet some extraordinary individuals (astrophysicists, geologists, truck-stop manager, hikers). Digging deep into their memories, the Innu of Pessamit tell of the dispossession of their ancestral lands, which were flooded by the construction of the big hydro dams, leading to the disorientation of the young people from their community. After choosing to live in the boreal forest at the feet of the Uapishka Mountains, a guide and a pioneer of northern expeditions reveal their powerful connection with nature. In this non-linear narrative with many faces, the land speaks out and questions the traces we humans leave behind us.
