Contemporary World Cinema
Our Contemporary World Cinema Series showcases films from the most recent festival circuit that haven’t screened in Calgary, parsing the critical discourse and following the development of key artists. Meticulously handpicked throughout the year, these selections bring fresh and important films to Calgary that would not make it here otherwise, and often never screen again. Last season we presented a diverse sampling of exciting and timely works from Japan, Germany, Spain, and Portugal.

An exciting collaboration from experimental film superstars Ben Rivers (Trees Down There) and Anocha Suwichakornpong (By The Time It Gets Dark), this unconventional documentary is an innovative dive into the world of a Thai tourist community, using fiction, interviews, and oral traditions to render a vibrant and trippy experience that begs to be seen on the big screen.
