STC

"Tracing how the world's peaks came to be viewed as playgrounds, it needs to be seen on the big screen for its vertiginous images of high-altitude adventurers." - Total Film

The Square

From the director of 'Force Majeure,' "this tense high-society takedown remains taut, gawk-worthy, and thought-provoking, to say the least." - Georgia Straight

Oscar-Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. "The Square deserves to do the rounds. This Cannes 2017 Palme d’Or winner takes aim at the pomposity and hypocrisy of artists — and indeed all people — who provoke reactions without thinking about the consequences of their acts.

Presented by the Princess in partnership with Balancing from Birth to Baby

Inclusion Film Series - Colonization Road

"In towns throughout Ontario, there are startling reminders of the colonization of Indigenous territories and the displacement of First Nations people. Anishinaabe comedian and activist Ryan McMahon takes us to his hometown of Fort Frances and down its main drag, which is called Colonization Road. Similar streets have similar names in towns and cities across the province, direct reminders of the Public Lands Act of 1853 and its severe impact on First Nations, their treaties and their land in the name of “Canadian settlement.” On his journey through Ontario, McMahon explores the history of these roads, meets with settlers in solidarity and raises significant questions about “reconciliation” and what it means to “decolonize.”"
