Dir: Brian Harrington, Canada, 2026, Music Documentary. Al Tuck, Matt Mays, Buck 65, Joel Plaskett Winner, Best Feature Documentary, Folkestone Independent Film Awards. With a special appearance by Al Tuck on October 2nd. A portrait of one of Canada’s greatest but uncelebrated songwriters, Island native Al Tuck. The film follows his journey of wrestling demons, of financial hardship and isolation, and is a moving depiction of a father and loving son. This is a story that offers timely questions: what does it mean to succeed as an artist, and what is art without honesty? Director Brian Harrington spent nearly a decade making this intimate portrait, weaving together Tuck's songs with reflections from those whose lives and careers he influenced. Tender, honest and deeply rooted in the Maritimes, the film is a celebration of an extraordinary songwriter whose influence has long exceeded his fame.

Saturday's 2:00 show will have Open Captions. Dir: Liz Clare, UK, 2026, Musical. Jarnéia Richard-Noel, Millie O'Connell, Natalie Paris, Alexia McIntosh, Aimie Atkinson, Maiya Quansah-Breed. Winner of over 35 International Awards. “The film captures the original West End stage production of Six: The Musical, which tells the story of King Henry VIII’s six wives - reimagined as 21st century pop stars. They form a girl group to tell their stories and compete for who had the worst experience with the king, complete with a bevvy of catchy songs and fierce performances… Six: The Musical is no ordinary show… this isn’t a tense dramatic reading or important musical work; it’s a mile a minute rock show, the stars of which just happen to be an old British king’s wives.” - Jacob Richardson, Film Focus “The cast members deliver flawless vocal performances and their visible enjoyment in performing these roles is infectious. We can thank the writers for handing the power back to a group of 16th century women who had little control over their lives. In a musical that’s brimming with references to popular music, there’s bound to be something for everyone, and the film is a must-see.” - Rebecca Sinclair, Musical Theatre Review

Dir: Padraic McKinley, Germany/US, 2026, Drama/Action. Ethan Hawke, Russell Crowe, Julia Jones, Austin Amelio. “A gruff, must-watch Ethan Hawke leads a delightful band of outsiders in The Weight, a Depression-era heist film that oscillates between slow burn drama and nail-biting intensity. Its tale of prisoners tasked with transporting stolen gold in exchange for their freedom is equal parts political leaflet and western folklore, resulting in a slick thriller that charges breathlessly forward… An absolute delight… It’s been four years since the Great Depression thrust single Oregonian father Samuel Murphy and his young daughter Penny into poverty, but he keeps her amused by speeding their rickety Ford through open fields, pretending to be an outlaw of the Old West… Murphy is locked up after a violent misunderstanding. Sentenced to labor in a prison camp under the watchful eye of the stringent, hard-nosed Warden Clancy (Crowe), Murphy uses his skills as a handyman and mechanic to expedite his roadway building in the hopes of having days or weeks knocked off his six-month sentence. He’s up against a ticking clock: Within 30 days, Penny will be made a ward of the state and put up for adoption… If he and three prisoners of his choosing can help one of Clancy’s associates out of a bind, he’ll sign their release papers early… The Weight moves with furious focus and rollicking intensity… and makes its unlikely heroes look phenomenally cool.” - Siddhant Adlakha, IGN.com
