(UK / 2020 / Directed by Autumn de Wilde) Jane Austen's beloved comedy about finding your equal and earning your happy ending, is reimagined in this delicious new film adaptation of EMMA, starring Anya Taylor-Joy in the titular role.
"I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other," observes charming control freak Emma Woodhouse in Jane Austen's novel. Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse is a restless queen bee without rivals in her sleepy little town. In this glittering satire of social class and the pain of growing up, Emma must push through misguided matches and romantic missteps to find the love that has been there all along.

March 13 - 19: Fri-Sat 3:10 5:40 Sun 5:40 Mon Tue 8:00 Wed Thur 5:40
(Poland / 2019 / Directed by Jan Komasa)
Nominated for Best International Feature, this Polish drama (based on a true story) tells the story of a young man who, upon his release from a juvenile detention center, journeys to a small mountain town where he assumes the role of a Catholic priest.
While in the youth detention center, 20-year-old Daniel (Bartosz Bielenia) experiences a spiritual transformation. Although the crime he has committed prevents him from applying to the seminary, Daniel has no intention of giving up on his dream - once released on parole, he is sent to work at a sawmill, but soon assumes the role of priest in the small-town parish. As he becomes acquainted with the lives of the locals, he learns of a tragedy that has caused a rift within the town. Through his unconventional yet passionate preaching style, he attempts to unify the villagers and heal the divided community; there is, however, an aggression in Daniel which lies barely restrained beneath the surface. With expressive acting and a backdrop that is both beautiful and haunting, CORPUS CHRISTI is a stirring piece of filmmaking that touches on themes of judgement, hypocrisy, acceptance, and what it means to truly forgive.

Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band
March 13 - 19: Fri-Sat 8:10 Sun 3:10 8:10 Mon-Tue 5:40 Wed 3:10 8:10 Thur 8:10 (Canada / 2019 / Directed by Daniel Roher)
Largely told from Robertson's perspective, this confessional, cautionary, and occasionally humorous tale focusses on Robbie Robertson's life and the creation of one of the most enduring groups in the history of popular music, The Band.
The film follows Robertson's personal journey from Toronto as a teenage whiz-kid guitar-slinger, too young to get into the clubs where he played every night with rockabilly Ronnie Hawkins, to touring with Bob Dylan in 1966 and on to international fame as one of The Band. Robertson was only 24 when he and Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson recorded their groundbreaking debut album, Music From Big Pink. This period, the mid-1960s through the early 1970s, was a time of cultural and political upheaval as well as when some of the most enduring and influential rock music was made. ONCE WERE BROTHERS... joins a growing list of recent documentaries, including ECHO IN THE CANYON, DAVID CROSBY: REMEMBER MY NAME, and Scorsese's ROLLING THUNDER REVUE, which have examined the music and musicians of this remarkably fertile period. The film is more than tinged with sadness and pain.
R / 1 hr 42 mins.

Then Came You
March 14: Sat 12:00
(USA / 2018 / Q&A with director Peter Hutchings post- screening)
A funny and poignant coming-of-age story celebrating friendship, romance, and life.
THEN CAME YOU is a sweet, uplifting tale that reminds us it's not how long we live, but how we live the life we have, that matters. The film tells the story of Skye (Maisie Williams), a spunky teenager with a terminal illness who befriends Calvin (Asa Butterfield), a 19-year old hypochondriac who is afraid of his own shadow. Calvin helps Skye carry out her eccentric bucket list. In the process, he learns to confront and conquer his own fears, including falling in love with the beautiful, but seemingly untouchable, Izzy (Nina Dobrev).
Unrated / 1 hr 37 mins.

(France / 2019 / Written & Directed by Céline Sciamma)
A sensuous, painterly period drama set in 18th century Brittany about the friendship that develops between two young women, a painter and her subject whose portrait she is commissioned to do without the subject's knowledge.
Hoping to marry off her daughter to an Italian royal, a wealthy contessa (Valerie Golino) commissions an artist (Noémie Merlant) to come live at her Brittany estate where she's to make a portrait of her daughter Héloïse (Adèle Haenel). Easier said than done, as Héloïse has just come home after a long stint in a strict convent and is not thinking of marriage, arranged or otherwise. Therefore, Marianne must pose as a hired companion and paint Héloïse in secret - from memory - so that the her mother can make a deal for her hand without her knowledge. This is the fourth feature from French filmmaker Céline Sciamma (GIRLHOOD) and is a confidently crafted period drama that is traditional in its formal beauty and progressive in its treatment of romance between women. French with English subtitles.
