Dir: Nat Boltt, New Zealand/Canada, 2026, Comedy/Drama. Miriam Margolyes, Jacki Weaver, Judy Davis, Elijah Tamati. "Holy Days is a wildly charming, big-hearted adventure that sends three defiantly spirited nuns on the road in search of a miracle—only to discover they’re far better at raising a little hell. When the sisters of St. Suzanne’s convent face forced retirement, they stage a last-ditch escape to New Zealand’s breathtaking South Island, hoping an ex-nun-turned-lawyer can save their home. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when a young Māori boy joins them, carrying a secret mission of his own: reaching the summit of Mt. Cook to find his recently departed mother before she crosses into the spirit world. As a sudden snowstorm threatens their plans, this unlikely band of companions is pushed to the limits of faith, courage, and friendship. With echoes of Little Miss Sunshine, Wonder, and The Peanut Butter Falcon, the film blends humor, heartfelt emotion, and adventure into a story that celebrates love, loss, and the resilience that keeps us moving forward. Holy Days delivers stunning landscapes, unexpected connections, and an ensemble of unforgettable characters finding exactly what they need—just not in the way they expect. Uplifting, tender, and delightfully offbeat, it’s a crowd-pleasing odyssey destined to charm audiences of all ages." - The Victoria Film Festival

Dir: Thaddeus O'Sullivan, Ireland, 2011, Comedy/Drama. Martin Sheen, Stephen Rea, Trystan Gravelle. Sponsored by The Benevolent Irish Society. "Playing a small-town Catholic priest in culturally isolated 1950s Ireland, Martin Sheen does his best work since The West Wing... This splendidly acted drama explores its themes with sensitivity, gentle humor and poignancy... Inspired by Michael Doorley’s memoir... Progressive cleric Daniel Barry (Sheen) sees his temporary assignment to the tiny Tipperary backwater of Borrisokane as a penance... A lover of movies and a believer in their power to communicate, Father Barry suggests opening a cinema... He promises that the movie house will be a civilizing influence, showing only films deemed morally suitable. While the Bishop proves malleable, xenophobic politician Brendan McSweeny does not, branding all movies as corrupting filth. The old-fashioned qualities of Stella Days are among its strengths, echoed in the handsome period production values... While the film has moments of Cinema Paradiso-style sentiment, these are achieved with delicacy. Chief asset is the cast, with fine work from the lovely Plunkett and from Rea in an amusingly dour role. But it’s Sheen who carries the film. He brings sorrowful dimensions to a conflicted character that both bristles against and uncomfortably reflects a culture steeped in uneasy contradictions." - David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter. "Nothing shy of exceptional, Stella Days explores the culture of Ireland in the fifties with parallels to the present. This is a piece of cinema that is, in itself, a love letter to the form and well worth another look back if anyone missed it the first time around." - Film Ireland

Dir: Finn Taylor, US, 2026, Drama. Stephen Lang, Elsie Fisher, Luke David Blumm. Audience Award Winner, Spokane International Film Festival. Beautiful performances from Stephen Lang and Elsie Fisher anchor a tale of personal strength and sacrifice inspired by true events about a man harboring a haunting secret as a Holocaust survivor. Set in locations as disparate as Terezín, Prague, and the Avenue of the Giants drive in California’s Humboldt Redwoods State Park, this is an inspiring story about the transformative power of friendship and healing. For more than 50 years, Auschwitz survivor Herbert Heller kept his memories of the Holocaust secret — even from his wife and children. But when he meets Abbey, a troubled teen dealing with her own unspoken pain, Herbert decides it’s time to talk and finally open his heart. Through sharing their personal traumas, Herbert and Abbey become the unlikeliest of friends, allies in healing whose bond brings them a previously undiscovered sense of purpose. With stunning reenactments of Herbert’s struggles to survive during WWII, this touching film demonstrates that hope and redemption can come from anywhere if we’re open to it.
