Series:
 A Nice Indian Boy Sunday, September 21, 2025 5:00pm The film follows Naveen, an Indian-American doctor, who brings his fiancé, Jay, a white man adopted by Indian parents, to meet his traditional family. Hilarity ensues as cultural customs clash and relationships are re-evaluated in this feel-good, romantic comedy. Country: USA Running Time: 96 minutes |
 Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance Sunday, October 19, 2025 5:00pm In July 1990, a dispute over a proposed golf course to be built on Kanien’kéhaka (Mohawk) lands in Oka, Quebec, set the stage for a historic confrontation that would grab international headlines and sear itself into the Canadian consciousness. Director Alanis Obomsawin—at times with a small crew, at times alone—spent 78 days behind Kanien’kéhaka lines filming the armed standoff between protestors, the Quebec police and the Canadian army. Released in 1993, this landmark documentary has been seen around the world, winning over a dozen international awards and making history at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it became the first documentary ever to win the Best Canadian Feature award. Country: Canada Running Time: 119 minutes |
 The Mountain Sunday, November 16, 2025 5:00pm The Mountain is a touching tale of three unlikely young friends on the adventure of a lifetime. Determined to beat the cancer she is fighting, Sam escapes from the juvenile hospital ward to go on a potentially dangerous journey to climb Taranaki Maunga, the mountain that, as a Māori, she is culturally and personally connected with. Filled with charm, humour, and deep emotion, The Mountain is a highly entertaining family film that doesn't shy away from life's sometimes difficult realities. Country: New Zealand Running Time: 89 minutes |
