THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND Charles, an eccentric lottery winner
who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite
musicians, McGwyer Mortimer back together. His fantasy turns into reality
when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private
show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as Charles tries
desperately to salvage his dream gig.
Starring Tim Key, Tom Basden & Carey Mulligan, The
Ballad of Wallis Island perfectly showcases British cinema's ability to
blend comedy and pathos. With majestic shots of the island, and catchy
folk-rock songs, the film is sweet and funny and just plain nice, and we have
a feeling a lot of people could use that right now. Rated
PG (coarse lang) 1hr40 |
EVERY LITTLE THING Terry Masear wants to save every
injured hummingbird in Los Angeles. Terry takes in the most fragile of
patients through her volunteer hummingbird rescue, but the path to survival
is fraught with uncertainty. In Sally Aitken's moving documentary, we become
invested in Terry's hummingbird patients -- including Cactus, Jimmy, Wasabi,
Raisin, and Mikhail -- celebrating their small victories and lamenting their
tiny tragedies. Absolutely fascinating, heartfelt and beautifully
photographed, Every Little Thing is a one-of-a-kind documentary experience.
Prepare to have your heart stolen by these delicate yet fierce creatures! Rated PG (coarse lang) 1hr35 |
ALTO KNIGHTS **One week only** Inspired by a true story. Two of New York's most notorious organized
crime bosses, Frank Costello and Vito Genovese (both played by Robert
DeNiro), vie for control of the city's streets. Once the best of friends, petty
jealousies and a series of betrayals place them on a deadly collision course
that will reshape the Mafia (& America) forever. Still at the top of his
game, Robert DeNiro gives TWO strong performances remaining the undisputed
king of gangster cinema. Rated 14A (coarse lang & violence) 2hrs |
MOON THE PANDA **One week only** Tian
is twelve years old when he is sent to his grandmother's due to his poor
school results. Far from the city, in the mysterious Chinese mountains, he
secretly becomes friend with a panda he names Moon. This marks the beginning
of an incredible adventure that is about to change his life. Funny, moving,
and breathtaking, Moon the Panda is a poignant family adventure that
celebrates nature and friendship in all its forms. Rated
G 1hr40 |
THE FRIEND **Last week** Iris finds her comfortable, solitary
New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor dies
suddenly and bequeaths her his beloved 150 lb. Great Dane. The regal yet
intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for
Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more
existential ones. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with the
animal, she begins to come to terms with her past, her lost friend, and her
own creative inner life. Starring Naomi Watts and Bill Murray,
and based on Sigrid Nunez’s bestselling, National Book Club-winning
novel, The Friend is a moving, funny, and unforgettable story about
the transformational power of companionship. Rated
PG (coarse & sexual lang) 2hrs |
THE PENGUIN LESSONS **Our most popular
film from the Victoria Film Festival** Inspired by the true story of a
disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976.
Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of
unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked
beach and forms a bond with him, his life is turned upside-down. Based on the bestselling book by Tom
Michell, The Penguin Lessons is delightful and heartfelt, showing the
importance that a pet-owner relationship holds in the owner's journey to
healing. Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce give excellent performances, but the
adorable Magellan penguin steals the show! Rated
PG (coarse lang) 1hr50 |

AMATEUR Charlie Heller is a brilliant, but
deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at
headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is
killed in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take
action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a dangerous trek
across the globe to track down those responsible. An entertaining, refreshing
and suspenseful spy thriller featuring great performances from Rami Malek (Oscar
winner for Bohemian Rhapsody) and Laurence Fishburne. Rated PG (violence, coarse lang) 2hrs |
SEVEN VEILS **Canadian film** After years away, theater director Jeanine re-enters
the opera world to stage her former mentor's most famous work. Haunted by
dark memories from her past, Jeanine allows her repressed trauma to color the
present as her personal and professional lives begin to unravel. Directed by the legendary Canadian director
Atom Egoyan with Amanda Seyfried giving a dynamic, career-best performance,
Seven Veils is rich with metaphor and suspense; an intellectual thriller
about art imitating life. Rated PG (coarse & sexual lang) 1hr50 |
THE WEDDING BANQUET Remake of Ange Lee’s 1993 film. Frustrated with
his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a
proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her
partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's
grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. The
Wedding Banquet is the kind of film that reminds you why we fall in love with
movies in the first place—because they surprise us, move us, and make us
laugh at how messy and magnificent life can be. Starring Bowen Yang, Lily
Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung. Rated PG (coarse lang, sexual content, nudity)

ARTHUR ERICKSON: BEAUTY BETWEEN THE LINES **Canadian film** An in-depth exploration of the extraordinary life
of one of the 20th century's most iconic and influential modernist
architects. Arthur Erickson: Beauty Between the Lines contemplates both the
professional and personal successes and tragedies of Canada's most esteemed
architect, who's approach to site and adherence to the importance of
landscape was unprecedented. Not just
a celebration of his architectural contributions but this film a reflection
on the human experience of creativity, ambition, and the price of greatness. Beauty
Between the Lines was a sold-out hit at the 2024 Victoria Film Festival. Not to be missed! Rated PG (coarse lang) 1hr25 |
