CAROLINA CAROLINE
Victoria Exclusive - 97% Rotten Tomatoes - From the director of DINNER IN AMERICA
June 5 & 6: 5:00 pm, 7:00 pm
Caroline and Oliver, the outlaw protagonists of “Carolina Caroline” played by Samara Weaving and Kyle Gallner, are like characters in a Bruce Springsteen song: two lovers, born to run, surviving on schemes and unbridled passion for each other, who can’t see the water rising around them until it’s up to their necks. Together, they represent a classic on-screen American duo, previously immortalized in lovers-on-the-run films like “They Live By Night,” “Bonnie and Clyde,” and “Badlands.” But Caroline and Oliver are the kinds of people who have never seen those movies — they’re blissfully unaware that the story of their relationship is an old one, and it doesn’t have a happy ending.-IndieWire

Mile End Kicks
June 3 & 4: 5:00 pm, 7:00 pm
There might never be a better movie released in this era that celebrates the vibrancy of Montreal’s cultural sphere quite like this one. Not even Québec-based productions ever captured the feeling Levack imbues through Grace Pine’s (Barbie Ferreira) journey of self-discovery. The twenty-six-year-old music critic decides to quit her job at an incredibly sexist magazine and move to Montreal, in an attempt to write a book about Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” – a watershed moment not only for Morissette’s journey as an artist, but for Canadian music as a whole. At her apartment in the Mile End, her roommates Madeleine (Juliette Gariépy) and Hugo (Robert Naylor) introduce Grace to the band Bone Patrol, led by singer Chevy (Stanley Simons). The burgeoning author immediately becomes infatuated by the frontman’s charms and vocal talents, but also develops an affinity with the band’s guitarist, Archie (Devon Bostick). What you think will happen happens, but part of the charm of such a predictable coming-of-age tale isn’t necessarily the story being told, but what’s around it. –Film Speak

Everest Dark
May 27 & 28 5:10 pm, 7:00 pm
The enduring fascination of the world’s highest mountain is reframed in this dutifully stirring documentary about a renowned Sherpa’s quest to honour the peak that his people refer to as Chomolungma or the “Mother Goddess of the World”. Having retired from climbing, Mingma Tsiri Sherpa returns once more; his hope is to restore balance by bringing down some of the 200 or so bodies of dead climbers and sherpas that remain on the slopes. Jereme Watt’s film combines the requisite breathtaking shots of majestic towering peaks with insights into the profound spiritual significance of Mount Everest to the devout Buddhist Sherpas. …It’s undeniably spectacular, but the most arresting shots are not the traditionally beautiful frames full of blue skies and frosted peaks. More striking are the scenes that show snaking queues of climbers, trudging into the dead zone to take their turn at the summit; the necklaces of lights as chains of mountaineers ascend by night when the ice is firmer.-Screen Daily
Omaha
May 26 5:10 pm, 7:00 pm
91% Rotten Tomatoes
What starts as a family road trip across the American West ends in quiet devastation. In between, “Omaha” now in theaters, speaks movingly about ties that don’t always bind. John Magara, one of the best actors anywhere, stars as Dad—his name isn’t mentioned—who wakes up his kids early one morning and announces a surprise road trip. Screenwriter Robert Machoian and debuting feature director Cole Webley like withholding things, so get used to it. Extracting details is like pulling teeth. “Pretend there’s a fire,” he tells his nine-year-old daughter Ella (a star-is-born Molly Belle Wright) and her younger brother Charlie (Wyatt Solis), while he hustles them into a rattletrap car—it always needs a push to start—along with golden retriever Rex. The mood is hardly festive—we see an eviction notice on the door as Dad drives away. Charlie looks excited in the back seat with Rex, but Ella—upfront with Dad—gets the feeling something is off. She’s right, about a lot of things.-Travers Take
The Art of Adventure
May 24 & 25 5:10 pm, 7:00 pm
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
The Art of Adventure is an inspiring and deeply human documentary about the extraordinary lifelong friendship between world renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and fearless biologist Bristol Foster. Through their epic 1957 journey around the world – armed with a 16mm camera and an artist’s brush – the film opens a vivid window onto a planet once wild and unscarred and a bond formed though curiosity, courage and love of nature. At it’s heart the film weaves together nature, art and activism showing how two very different men fought to protect the natural world: one thought art, the other through science. Now in their 90’s Bob and Bristol still find sanctuary in nature. Their story is a moving reflection on legacy, mortality and the wisdom of our elders – and a reminder that humanity and nature are inseparable. The Art of Adventure invites us to listen, to learn and to embrace life with curiosity, courage and heart.
