Dir: Basel Adra/Hamdan Ballal/Yuval Abraham/Rachel Szor, Palestine/Norway, 2024. Members get $9 tickets! Sign in (using the button above) or sign up today. In Arabic, Hebrew and English with English subtitles. Winner - Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2025 Oscars. “It’s important to clarify what kind of documentary No Other Land is. It follows the life of Basel Adra, a young Palestinian man living in Masafer Yatta, a collection of 20 small villages in the West Bank. Since childhood, Basel has filmed life in the village. As he’s grown up, he’s been predominantly recording the destruction of his home and those around it. Masafer Yatta is disputed land. Repeatedly, Israeli soldiers come to tear down the houses of Palestinians, stating that they’re illegally built on an Israeli military training ground. From 2019 to 2023, when the film ends, this cycle continues. Every time a home is rebuilt, it’s destroyed... It’s a moving, challenging watch. A girl stands crying as her home is ripped apart by a digger. A family makes a home in a cave, the only solid home available to them. Masked Israeli ‘settlers’ throw rocks at Adra and his family as soldiers watch. A man is shot by a soldier for trying to resist the theft of his electricity generator. There is occasional voiceover for context, but mostly these images are presented without editorializing. They tell their own story, one of endless persistence... There is not an ending because there is not yet an end.” —Olly Richards, Time Out (UK)

Dir: Daniel Minahan, US, 2025. Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, Will Poulter. “On Swift Horses is the kind of big, sweeping romantic drama that Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore. Director Daniel Minahan... fills every widescreen shot with gorgeous landscapes and sumptuous colors, fully transporting us to a time when space was abundant and America felt full of possibility. The film... is an emotionally complex love triangle that branches out into something even more complex. Muriel marries Lee while pining for Julius who seems to have much more complicated feelings for her, mixed in with a genuine love for his brother. Over time, both Muriel and Julius find other lovers, writing to each other all the while without Lee’s knowledge. Julius meets Henry while working at a casino in Las Vegas, and the two begin a passionate, caustic love affair. Down in the valley, Muriel skips work to fool around with her neighbor Sandra , a woman living openly as a lesbian despite the stigma. With Henry, Julius finds a man even wilder than him, full of endless ambition. But when it comes to Muriel and Sandra, it’s harder to tell if the feelings are real. Both Julius and Muriel love to gamble, but while cards are his poison, she prefers betting on horses. Much like their shared vice, their queer love lives are just as dangerous... On Swift Horses is about the shapes love can take, the varied lives we live and the many different ways one can make a home. It’s beautiful, heartbreaking and demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible.” —Jordain Searles, The Hollywood Reporter

Dir: Peter Cattaneo, UK/Spain, 2024, Drama. Steve Coogan, Vivian El Jaber, Jonathan Pryce. “Here’s an unexpected charmer, a true story based on a popular autobiographical memoir about a man and a penguin, with a lightness of tone that doesn’t overdo the whimsy. The excellent Steve Coogan plays Tom Michell, a cynical and disillusioned British writer and scholar who accepted a job in 1976 teaching proper English, poetry and soccer in an upscale boys’ prep school in Buenos Aires at the height of Argentina’s postwar military dictatorship. Intelligently directed by Peter Cattaneo, the man best remembered for The Full Monty, the stressful anecdotes Michell endures make the job of winning over both the unruly, rebellious students and the stern, humorless headmaster a taxing challenge… Things pick up when Michell accidentally rescues a penguin from a near-fatal oil slick, and the little bird repays him by following him halfway across South America. The poor English teacher, who hates birds and has no need for a pet anyway, is stuck with a feathered friend he can’t get rid of. It wins him over like a Disney duck in spite of himself, and I’m willing to bet the same thing happens to you… The Penguin Lessons is a work of surprising depth and subtle, irresistible impact.” - Rex Reed, Observer

Drama, Sci Fi, Thriller. Dir: David Cronenberg, Canada, 2025. Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, Guy Pearce. “Described by co-star Diane Kruger as Cronenberg’s “most personal film” in his decades-long career, The Shrouds is also possibly the Toronto writer/director’s best film, showcasing his fascination with body horror, advanced technology and high paranoia in a way that also genuinely touches the heart. It’s inspired in part by the 2017 passing of Cronenberg’s beloved wife, Carolyn, to whom he was married for 38 years… Graveyard innovator Karsh [has created a] high-tech metallic garb wrapped around corpses at a switched on Toronto cemetery, “The Shrouds at GraveTech,” which allows mourners to view their loved ones decomposing in real time by either a gravesite screen or a handy smartphone app. Karsh has a personal interest in this. His beloved wife, Becca, died of cancer a few years ago and he’s never gotten over his loss. His initial impulse at her passing was that he’d rather be lowered into the ground with her than say goodbye to her. His shroud invention gives him the next best thing: he can watch her slowly decompose while he awaits his own death, whereupon he’ll be buried right next to her. It also proves to be a profitable business, with global expansions planned…Vincent Cassel’s carefully modulated performance, contrasting Kruger’s more expressive three roles, manifests the grieving process in ways that are simultaneously futuristic, frightening and all too human, a classic Cronenbergian combination.” - Peter Howell, The Toronto Star
