"A Private Life" NOSFA Film Screening
Showtimes: 6:30pm & 8:30pm
Director: Rebecca Zlotowski
Cast: Jodi Foster, Daniel Auteuil, Virginie Efira
Runtime: 107 minutes
Language: English, French with English subtitles
Five Nominations: Warsaw International Film Festival: Audience Award; Lumiere Awards, France: Best Actress (Jodi Foster); Best Soundtrack (Robin Coudert); AARP Awards: Best Actress (Jodi Foster); San Sebastian International Film Awards: Audience Award
“There’s a deliciously overripe, almost campy quality to much of “A Private Life” that’s expertly balanced by the intense focus of Foster’s performance.”—Peter Debruge, Variety
Academy Award winner Jodie Foster stars in this scintillating, slyly comic psychological thriller from French director Rebecca Zlotowski (“Other People's Children”), in which a suspicious death yields a series of twists that lead back to old grievances — and maybe even to past lives.
Lilian (Foster), an American psychoanalyst in Paris, is devastated to learn that her client Paula (Virginie Efira) has taken her own life. Or has she? Visits from Paula's furious widower Simon (Mathieu Amalric) and taciturn daughter Valérie (Luàna Bajrami), along with the discovery that files have been stolen from Lilian's office, suggest that Paula may have fallen victim to foul play.
Assisted by her ex-husband Gabriel (Daniel Auteuil), Lilian undertakes some amateur sleuthing. Her initial investigations prompt more questions than answers until a session with a hypnotherapist causes Lilian to wonder whether her relationship with Paula began in a previous incarnation.
Written by Zlotowski with Anne Berest (“Mythomaniac”) and Gaëlle Macé (“Little Jaffna”), “A Private Life” deftly rides the delicate line between intrigue and zaniness.
Perfectly paced and loaded with diverting supporting turns — including a cameo by legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman — the film is partly a whodunnit and partly a story of revisited relationships, with a French-speaking Foster and Auteuil delivering effortlessly charismatic performances as long-time exes whose teamwork creates the film's other big mystery: why did these two ever break up?

"My Father's Shadow" NOSFA Film Screening
Director: Akinola Davies Jr
Cast: Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Godwin Chiemerie Egbo, Chibuike Marvelous Egbo
Runtime: 94 minutes
Language: Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, English
Showtimes: 6:30 & 8:30 pm
Awards: British Independent Film Awards: Best Director, Akinola Davies; Cannes Film Festival: Caméra d’Or Special Mention; Chicago International Film Festival: Special Mention (Akinola Davies); Gotham Awards: Breakthrough Director; Outstanding Lead Performance (Sope Dirisu); International Film Festival of India: Special Recognition (Akinola Davies); 3 other wins, 31 nominations
“It is a rich, heartfelt and rewarding movie.” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Akinola Davies Jr’s extraordinary debut feature is both intimate and epic. It’s a deeply personal family story set against the turbulence of 1993 Lagos during a pivotal national election promising a shift from military rule to democracy in Nigeria.
When young brothers Remi and Akin unexpectedly accompany their oft-absent father to the city to collect his long-overdue salary, what unfolds is a rich journey through memory, masculinity, and a country on the cusp of fragile transformation.
Drawn loosely from Davies’ own experiences and co-written with his brother Wale, “My Father’s Shadow” is anything but conventional. The film begins in rural quiet and gradually delves into urban disarray, as the boys try to make sense of their father, the city, and the shifting codes of a world they’ve barely known. With elliptical pacing, poetic compositions, and a remarkable command of tone, Davies captures the sensory intensity of Lagos alongside the emotional tensions of paternal distance and political uncertainty.
Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù gives a quietly riveting performance as Folarin, a man both tough and tender, while real-life brothers Godwin Chiemerie Egbo and Chibuike Marvelous Egbo bring rawness, emotional depth, and grace to the screen.
What emerges is not a story of easy reconciliation, but of slow recognition — the difficult work of seeing someone clearly, perhaps for the first time, and finding something in them more profound than expected.

"The Choral" NOSFA Film Screening
Showtimes: 6:30 & 8:30 pm
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Cast: Ralph Fiennes
Runtime: 113 minutes
Language: English
“The Choral” is an old-fashioned diversion about music’s ability to bridge societal gaps, buoyed by a terrific lead performance by Ralph Fiennes.” ---Richard Crouse, CTV News
Propelled by Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes, this inspiring drama from veteran director Nicholas Hytner (“The Lady in the Van”) depicts a British choir director’s efforts to assemble an ensemble during the darkest days of the First World War.
Written by Hytner’s frequent collaborator, revered playwright and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Alan Bennett (“The Madness of King George”), “The Choral” is a testament to music’s power to sustain our souls in troubled times.
The year is 1916 and the Great War is draining a Yorkshire town of its men, leaving the local choral society without voices. For a performance of Edward Elgar’s ‘The Dream of Gerontius,’ the society’s director, Dr. Guthrie (Fiennes), is forced to recruit his singers from among the town’s adolescent population.
Guthrie is a demanding taskmaster, yet under his guidance these teens will come to know the transcendent joys of singing together, while steeling themselves for their impending conscription.
Joined by fellow British acting legends Simon Russell Beale (“The Death of Stalin”) and Roger Allam (“The Wind That Shakes the Barley”), Fiennes is in top form here, embodying the proverbial stiff upper lip while allowing vulnerability to break through the veneer of reserve.
“The Choral” is a deftly executed period tale that reminds us of the importance of cultivating community and using art to process anxieties and generate hope.

"Meadowlarks" NOSFA Film Screening
Showtimes: 6:30 & 8:15 pm
Director: Tasha Hubbard
Cast: Michael Greyeyes, Michele Thrush, Carmen Moore, Alex Rice
Runtime: 91 minutes
Language: English
Nomination: Directors Guild of Canada, Best Picture Editing
“Meadowlarks finds itself an excellent text on the universal struggles families face. The resentment, the anger, and the happiness are not only accurate, but brilliantly brought to life.”---Alan French, Sunshine State Cineplex
Based on her 2017 documentary “Birth of a Family,” acclaimed filmmaker Tasha Hubbard has turned to drama for the first time. With “Meadowlarks,” she takes the story of four siblings, separated as babies, who are reuniting 50 years later during a week spent in Banff.
Kicking off with awkward small talk, gifts, and forced bonding events, the one brother and three sisters do their best to get to know one another after decades apart.
Their forced separation at birth was part of the Sixties Scoop, the term given for the then-common practice of removing Indigenous children from their families, often without consent, and placing them with the child welfare system. While documentaries have covered this topic over the years, nothing has ever fictionalized the experience of uniting as adults and coping with the consequences.
To tell her story, Hubbard has assembled a terrific roster of Indigenous acting stars to play the siblings, including Michael Greyeyes (“40 Acres”), Michelle Thrush (“Bones of Crows,”), Carmen Moore (“Unnatural & Accidental,”), and Alex Rice (“On the Corner,”).
Their surname translates to “Meadowlarks.” An emotional journey handled with care, respect, and beauty---Hubbard is a Sixties Scoop survivor — “Meadowlarks” will leave you in tears, hugging your family members closer.

"The President's Cake" NOSFA Film Screening
Showtimes: 6:30 & 8:30 pm
Director: Hasan Hadi
Cast: Baneen Ahmad Nayyef, Waheed Thabet Kreibat, Sajad Mohamad Qasem
Runtime: 105 minutes
Language: Arabic with English subtitles
Awards: Cannes Film Festival: Audience Award; Golden Camera award; Hamptons International Film Festival: Best Narrative Feature; Hasan Hadi; Stockholm Film Festival: Best Directorial Debut; Athens International Film Festival: Audience Award; 4 other wins; 11 nominations.
“The President’s Cake is a compassionate and winsome debut, packed with an unassuming punch.”—Tomris Laffly, Variety
Hasan Hadi’s heartbreaking “The President’s Cake,” a multiple award winner at Cannes, is an unforgettable look at a country crushed by poverty and international sanctions — and ruled by a sadistic, greedy, and vain tyrant.
In 1990s Iraq, young Lamia (Baneen Ahmed Nayyef) lives with her ailing grandmother, Bibi (Waheeda Thabet Khreiba), eking out an existence in a remote village where the best means of travel is by meshouf, a kind of canoe. Disaster strikes when Lamia is “honoured” with bringing the cake for her school class’s mandatory celebration of Saddam Hussein’s birthday.
In other circumstances, this might be an innocuous responsibility, but Bibi and Lamia can’t afford the ingredients — and the last family that didn’t comply was dragged through the streets.
Bibi and Lamia (plus Hindi, her pet rooster) head to the city to purchase the ingredients for the cake, or so Lamia thinks. But when Bibi surprises her with a life-changing plan, Lamia flees, determined to continue her quest, and enlisting Saaed (Sajad Mohamad Qasem) to help. The pair’s wide-eyed determination and inventiveness is met only with disdain and contempt, and they are cheated or robbed by almost every adult. It’s the horrifying cost of scarcity and authoritarianism: complete moral collapse.
The few who are ostensibly kind may be the worst of all. Lamia and Saaed are invariably confronted with pictures of a wealthy Hussein beaming cruelly at them, even on the back of a truck the kids jump on.
Shot in a neorealist vein, reminiscent of Vittorio De Sica, “The President’s Cake” offers devastating cinematic proof of Bertolt Brecht’s famous dictum: “Grub first, then ethics.”

Penumbra Art Exhibition - A Story of Hope
This exhibition is titled Penumbra and it focuses on Mental Health-a visual journey through pain and healing. It will feature a combination of creative makeup* artistry and photography* performed by Bianca Gascoigne. It is aimed at raising awareness about mental health, creating connections with the arts and mental health communities and providing a platform for open dialogue within our community. Fundraising and donations will be given to the Canadian Mental Health Association. The Thunder Bay CMHA branch will be partnering with me to advertise this exhibition.
There will be 15 models, each of whom either work in mental health fields, are local artists or are in support of raising mental health awareness (or all 3). Each model has been/is affected by their own mental health experiences, however this exhibition will not be telling the models individual stories in order to respect their privacy. The exhibition will be a display of creative expression.
This event will take place at Mariner’s Hall for the opening night (food and beverages provided at the beginning of the evening), and it will be on display for at least 1 week.

"Rebuilding" NOSFA Film Screening
Showtimes: 6:30pm & 8:15pm
Awards: National Board of Review: Top Ten Independent Films; San Diego Film Critics: Best Body of Work —Josh O’Connor.
Director: Max Walker-Silverman
Cast: Josh O’Connor, Meghann Fahy, Lilly LaTorre, Amy Madigan
Runtime: 96 minutes
Language: English
“A lyrical take of combating misfortune via community.” — Nick Schager, Daily Beast.
Finding a way forward after tragedy is essentially what “Rebuilding” is about: the film focuses on Josh O’Connor’s Dusty, a rancher who loses his home in a wildfire after it destroys the 200 acres his family has owned for generations.
There’s an implication that the ranch was his whole life. Dusty’s not the only one who lost something, though. Sequestered in a FEMA outpost of a scattered grouping of mobile homes, he meets others who were affected by the fires, including an elderly couple, a kind recluse, and a single mother (Kali Reis). Their temporary housing sits in the middle of vast brush land with mountains in the distance reaching towards the sky. In town, Dusty’s ex-wife Ruby (Meghann Fahy) lives with their daughter Callie Rose (Lilly LaTorre) and her mother Bess (Amy Madigan). Now that land he’s called home is destroyed, Dusty is unmoored, searching for purpose in a barren landscape that seems indifferent to the people who call it home. He contemplates moving to Montana to work on his cousin’s land, but Ruby and Bess point out how that would impact Callie Rose, who clearly looks up to her father even as she acts as if she doesn’t really need him. Because Dusty lost his home, his desire to pack up and leave to look for community elsewhere becomes almost overwhelming. What Dusty doesn’t expect is to find that there is community right before him in the middle of nowhere. “Rebuilding” takes a patient, contemplative approach to its story, letting us discover the ways community organically forms around loss and tragedy without overwhelming you with an overbearing sadness. There is always hope.

Confederation College Performing Arts Club presents 'Follies 2026: Dance with Destiny'
A Musical Choose Your Own Adventure!
Long ago, four legendary heroes saved the world. They defeated monsters, ended wars, and promised peace to the land. Songs were sung in their honour, and their names became legend. But power changes people.
Over time, the heroes who once protected the realm became the rulers it feared. Through magic, manipulation, and control, they tightened their grip on the world they swore to defend. For generations, no one dared to challenge them.
Until now. This year’s FOLLIES invites the audience into a living fantasy world where the story changes with every choice. Guided by music, humour, and heart, a group of unlikely heroes must decide who to trust, when to fight, and what is worth sacrificing to reclaim the future. Your decisions will shape alliances, determine betrayals, and ultimately decide who rises… and who falls.
Epic musical numbers, reluctant heroes, dangerous villains, and moments of surprise await in this interactive theatrical adventure.

"No Other Choice" NOFSA Film Screening
Wednesday, January 28, 2026
No Other Choice
South Korea 2025
Location: SilverCity
Showtimes: 6:30 & 9:00 pm
Director: Park Chan-wook
Cast: Lee Byung, Soon Ye-jin, Woo Seung
Runtime: 139 minutes
Language: Korean with English subtitles
Awards: Florida Film Critics Circle Awards: Best Director; Stockholm Film Festival: Best Film; Toronto International Film Festival: International People’s Choice Award; Savannah Film Festival: Audience Award; Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards: Best Foreign Language Film; Boston Online Film Critics Association: Best International Film. 13 more wins; 79 nominations
“A deliciously dark satire that is highly amusing while packing a socioeconomic punch.”—Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews.
Park Chan-wook is a master of incisive, darkly comic tales. Featuring megastar Lee Byung Hun, Park Chan-wook’s latest film transplants a crime novel by the great Donald E. Westlake — whose work supplied source material for such films as “Point Blank” and “Payback” — to present-day South Korea, where seniority counts for little and looking for employment proves to be a cutthroat business.
Man-soo (Lee) had it all: a loving wife, two talented children, two happy dogs. He even bought the beautiful forest-enclosed house where he grew up. Then, after 25 years of dedicated work for Solar Paper — where he was awarded Pulp Man of the Year in 2019 — Man-soo is suddenly given the axe.
Soon he is falling behind on his mortgage payments and his wife Mi-ri (Son Yejin) insists they put the house up for sale. Man-soo is desperate to scoop a coveted position with Moon Paper, but he knows there are other job seekers who match his pedigree. So he hatches a plan: invent a phony paper company, reach out to each of his rivals, lure them into a meeting… and, one by one, dispatch the competition.
Brilliantly scripted by Park Chan-wook, Lee Kyoung-mi, Jahye Lee, and Toronto’s own Don McKellar, “No Other Choice” is a chilling satire on workplace politics and ruthless status-seeking. In Park Chan-wook’s world, given the right set of circumstances, anyone can be driven to murder. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.
