Le Chant des forêts (Whispers in the Woods)

After "La Panthère des neiges" ("The Velvet Queen"), Vincent Munier invites us into the heart of the Vosges forests. It was here that he learned everything from his father Michel, a naturalist who spent his life observing the woods. Now it is time for them to pass on this knowledge to Simon, Vincent’s son. Three perspectives, three generations, one shared fascination with wildlife. We will discover with them deer, rare birds, foxes, and lynx… and sometimes, the beating wings of a legendary animal: the capercaillie.

Spectacle: Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

Paul Schrader’s (“First Reformed”) visually stunning, collagelike portrait of acclaimed Japanese author and playwright Yukio Mishima (played by Ken Ogata) investigates the inner turmoil and contradictions of a man who attempted an impossible harmony between self, art, and society. Taking place on Mishima’s last day, when he famously committed public seppuku, the film is punctuated by extended flashbacks to the writer’s life as well as by gloriously stylized evocations of his fictional works. With its rich cinematography by John Bailey, exquisite sets and costumes by Eiko Ishioka, and unforgettable, highly influential score by Philip Glass, “Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters” is a tribute to its subject and a bold, investigative work of art in its own right.

Klassic Kidz: The Iron Giant

This month's Klassic Kidz selection is a truly special film that didn't receive the accolades it deserved when it was released, but has since become an animation fan favourite.

Featuring a mix of hand drawn and computer animation, this beautiful story -- adapted from the book by Ted Hughes -- taps into the 1950s Space-Race frenzy while remaining at its core a story about friendship and acceptance. It was also directorial debut of Brad Bird who went on to make other animated classic like "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille." Don't miss this rare chance to see this classic on the big screen!

Battle of Sexes: Marnie

Through titles like American Psycho, La Captive, Marnie, and Birth, our speakers will interrogate how films reinforce or distort gender roles. The series is hosted by Gabrielle Marceau from In the Mood Magazine. "Marnie is Alfred Hitchcock’s darkest and most revealing film, featuring a haunting performance by Tippi Hedren, one of the last of her career. After a compulsive thief with a troubled past is found out, she's forced to marry the wealthy employer she tried to rob. Observing her erratic behaviour, he becomes obsessed with "curing" her of her destructive impulses. A devastating study of control and trauma, Marnie is also a film that tells us more about its director than its subject: Hitchcock’s real-life romantic fixation on Hedren seeps unnervingly into every frame.' Introduced by Gabrielle Marceau, a writer, critic, and editor-in-chief of In the Mood Magazine.

I Want Your Sex

Gregg Araki, known for films like "Mysterious Skin" and "Nowhere," returns to direct his first full-length feature in over ten years with the boundary-pushing and irreverent film "I Want Your Sex," which was a breakout at Sundance. “This unconventional rom-com feels like a natural extension of the queer indie pioneer’s sex-positive sensibility, even as he steers things into novel territory,” Peter Debruge wrote in Variety after the festival, highlighting the film’s screwball comedy elements. When fresh-faced Elliot (Cooper Hoffman) lands an exciting job for renowned artist, icon and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde), his fantasies come true as Erika taps him to become her sexual muse. But Elliot soon finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey more profound than he ever could have imagined, into a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal and murder.

He begins to follow her daily activities, interrogates her on her inner thoughts, and grows increasingly convinced that she is having an affair with her female friend. In a style that's at once spare and lush, Akerman explores the frailty of the male ego, the folly of trying to possess someone, and the inability to truly know those we love."

Tony

“It was here, all the way out at the tip of Cape Cod—Provincetown, Massachusetts—where the pilgrims first landed, and it was where I first landed. It was 1972, and I washed into a town with a headful of orange sunshine and a few friends. Provincetown was a wonderland of tolerance with a longtime tradition of accepting artists, writers, the badly behaved, the gay, the different. It was paradise.” - Anothy Bourdain Directed by Matt Johnson(“Blackberry” and “Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie,”) and starring Dominic Sessa, Emilia Jones, Leo Woodall, and Antonio Banderas. “Tony” follows a young Anthony Bourdain, who is “spoiled, miserable, narcissistic, self-destructive, and thoughtless” in his early years in Provincetown, he stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, embarking on a summer that will shape the course of his life and eventually lead to “Kitchen Confidential.”
