Silent Friend
In the heart of a botanical garden in a medieval university town in Germany stands a majestic ginkgo tree. This silent witness has observed over a century the quiet rhythms of transformation across three human lives.
2020, a neuroscientist from Hong Kong, exploring the mind of babies, begins an unexpected experiment with the old tree.
1972, a young student is profoundly changed by the simple act of observing and connecting with a geranium.
1908, the university’s first female student discovers, through the lens of photography, sacred patterns of the universe hidden within the humblest of plants.
We follow their clumsy, awkward attempts to connect — each one of them deeply rooted in their own present - as they are transformed by the quiet, enduring, and mysterious power of nature. The ancient ginkgo tree brings us closer to what it means to be human — to our longing to belong.

Meet Cute: Desert Hearts
Reaching for the same pair of black cashmere gloves? A chance encounter on a train? You never know if love is right around the corner! Introducing our new series “Meet-Cute” highlighting the best in cinema romances.
Donna Deitch’s swooning and sensual first film, "Desert Hearts," was groundbreaking upon its 1986 release: a love story about two women, produced and directed by a woman.
In the 1959-set film, an adaptation of a beloved novel by Jane Rule, straitlaced East Coast professor Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver) arrives in Reno to file for divorce, but winds up catching the eye of someone new, the younger free spirit Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), touching off a slow seduction that unfolds against the breathtaking desert landscape. With smoldering chemistry between its two leads, an evocative jukebox soundtrack, and vivid cinematography by Robert Elswit, "Desert Hearts" beautifully exudes a sense of tender yearning and emotional candor.

Restoration: Trainspotting (30th Anniversary)
30th Anniversary 4k restoration
A jolt of adrenaline shot straight to the heart of 1990s British cinema, this darkly funny adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel was a major breakthrough for director Danny Boyle.
Smart, funny, sickly and sometimes just plain unconscious, Mark Renton is a hero for our times. Set in an underbelly of Edinburgh the city fathers never dreamed of, TRAINSPOTTING is the story of Mark and his so-called friends - a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate - but then again, does he really want to 'choose life'?
Kinetically cut to an iconic soundtrack of techno, rock, and Brit-pop, this indie phenomenon chooses life in all its ugly, beautiful, terrifying exhilaration.

Battle of the Sexes: American Psycho
Battle of the Sexes is a series featuring films directed by women about men and films directed by men about women. 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.
"Based on the novel by Brett Easton Ellis, Mary Harron's American Psycho is a searing, funny, and stylish portrait of the men at the top of the financial food chain. The film follows Patrick Bateman, a Wall Street investment banker with fastidious grooming, a tastefully severe apartment, and unstoppable murderous impulses.
While Harron's sleek and campy thriller is taking on the yuppies of the 1980s, her film remains painfully relevant in an era of personal optimization, unchecked wealth hoarding, and extreme misogyny fuelled by online discourse."
Introduced by Quinn Henderson, a writer with work in the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, and In the Mood.

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.

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.
"Enigmatic and cutting, Chantal Akerman's rarely screened masterpiece, La Captive, is a Hitchcockian portrait of a tortured male psyche.
A wealthy young man becomes obsessed with the idea that his girlfriend is hiding something from him. 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."

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.
"Jonathan Glazer's hypnotic and disturbing Birth examines how social expectations clash with our deepest longings.
Ten years after her husband’s death, a woman is preparing to remarry when a young boy shows up in her home, claiming to be her dead husband reincarnated. Despite the impossibility of the claim, the woman finds herself increasingly willing to believe him and to unravel her life in the process.
Jonathan Glazer uses upper-class decorum and the backdrop of a gorgeously bleak New York winter to create a suffocating and uncanny examination of a woman's inner world."
Introduced by Namah J.
