Featuring a 15 minute sequence where the audience is required to close their eyes to “experience” pulsing colours and sounds from the screen.  A sequence where what you see through your eyelids may be as stirring as any image in any film. Samsara was recently featured at the Berlin Film Festival and the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. Calgary Cinematheque is proud to present this radical and deeply moving film on the big screen. 

A high school senior from South Carolina gets her first glimpse of the wider world, picturesque cities and woods of the Eastern seaboard on a class trip to Washington, D.C.

Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes, a pandemic deadpan comedy musical like you've never seen before. Two people in adjacent apartments who disobey evacuation orders in the face of a mysterious disease begin an antagonistic awareness of each other when a plumber leaves behind a small hole. Punctuated with glamorous musical fantasies that vividly contrast with the rain-soaked urban decay of the characters' surroundings, the film is a complex mixture of humour, melancholy, and wonder.
