	LARRY (iel) Saturday April 26, 2025 at 13:00 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Documentary Original French version, English subtitles Special screening with filmmaker Catherine Legault and artist Laurence Philomène in attendance A look at the intimate world of young non-binary trans photographer Laurence Philomène as they put together their first book, PUBERTY, a series of self-portraits documenting their transition during hormone therapy. Mirroring Philomène's autobiographical approach, LARRY (they/them) highlights the cinematic power of the artist's vibrant, colour-saturated images and above all, their willingness to share their story with authenticity and vulnerability. Gender non-conforming identities, body diversity and the challenges of self-affirmation are also explored through an exclusive foray into Philomène's family and community. Beyond the story of individual transformation, the film chronicles a society that is likewise transitioning, evolving as it grows. A celebration of those who refuse to conform, LARRY (they/them) is a luminous and engaging portrait of the complex, often misunderstood multiplicity of trans and non-binary identities and experiences, bringing to the screen one of the most inspiring and original voices of their generation and an LGBTQ+ community icon.

	Soundtrack to a Coup d'État Saturday April 26, 2025 at 15:15 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Documentary Original English, French, Dutch, and Russian version, English subtitles United Nations, 1960: the Global South ignites a political earthquake, jazz musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach crash the Security Council, Nikita Khrushchev bangs his shoe, and the U.S. State Department swings into action, sending jazz ambassador Louis Armstrong to Congo to deflect attention from the CIA-backed coup. Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations behind the 1961 assassination of Congo's leader Patrice Lumumba. Richly illustrated by eyewitness accounts, official government memos, testimonies from mercenaries and CIA operatives, speeches from Lumumba himself, and a veritable canon of jazz icons, Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that resonates more than ever in today's geopolitical climate.

	Bogancloch Saturday April 26, 2025 at 18:30 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Documentary Original English version, English subtitles Special screening with filmmaker Ben Rivers in attendance Bogancloch is where modern day hermit Jake Williams lives, nestled in a vast highland forest of Scotland. The film portrays his life throughout the seasons, with other people occasionally crossing into his otherwise solitary life. At the heart a song, an argument between life and death, each stating their case to rule over the world. The film is without exposition, it aims at something less recognisable, to a different existence of reality observed in discrete moments. A sequel to TWO YEARS AT SEA, charting a subtly changing life in a radically changing world.

	Picnic at Hanging Rock Saturday April 26, 2025 at 21:15 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Fiction Original English version New 4K Restoration This sensual and striking chronicle of a disappearance and its aftermath put director Peter Weir on the map and helped usher in a new era of Australian cinema. Based on an acclaimed 1967 novel by Joan Lindsay, Picnic at Hanging Rock is set at the turn of the twentieth century and concerns a small group of students from an all- female college who vanish, along with a chaperone, while on a St. Valentine's Day outing. Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as well as an inquiry into issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society, Weir's gorgeous, disquieting film is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to this day.

	You Burn Me Sunday April 27, 2025 at 11:00 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Fiction Original Spanish version, English subtitles Feature preceded by short film SOUS LE SOLEIL EXACTEMENT by Noa Blanche Beschorner An adaptation of "Sea Foam," a chapter in Cesare Pavese's Dialogues with Leucò, Piñeiro's latest is an intimate and expansive meditation on death and desire and a thrilling exploration of the possibilities of adapting text to film. In "Sea Foam," Pavese stages a fictional dialogue between the ancient Greek poet Sappho and the nymph Britomartis (played by frequent Piñeiro collaborators Gabi Saidón and María Villar). Sappho has thrown herself into the ocean from heartbreak. Britomartis has fallen off a cliff into the water while fleeing a man. Reuniting at the shore, they discuss life, death and the bittersweet nature of desire. But Piñeiro, known for his series of metatextual films dealing with the translation and performance of Shakespeare, is not content to simply restage a dialogue and instead infuses the film with footnotes and lacunae: the fragmentary poetry of Sappho, by whom only one complete poem still exists; the circumstances of Pavese's death, heartbroken in a Turin hotel room; and the science of sea foam with its connections to disease and fertility. In this ebb and flow of death and desire, You Burn Me introduces a game of translation and memorization, a game intrinsic to the moving image that may just save Sappho, Pavese, Piñeiro and the audience from oblivion.

	Archéologie de la lumière Sunday April 27, 2025 at 15:30 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Documentary Original non-verbal version February 16th and March 9th screenings with filmmaker Sylvain L'Espérance in attendance Far from a picture-perfect postcard, this film offers a personal view of the Minganie landscapes in Quebec's Côte-Nord region. Following the rhythm imposed by the elements, Sylvain L'Espérance patiently observes the sea, plants, rocks, and clouds cohabitate and their interactions with the contrasting sunlight. Through visual and sound research of great aesthetic precision, asserts a natural reality that exists only through the artistic gaze cast with the help of a technique that imposes its presence and that of the filmmaker. This feature film embodies the potential and limits of its digital source in an approach that at times turns the material abstract. Archéologie de la lumière is a film of infinite detail and is part of the experimental approach of a filmmaker with an infectious curiosity and unique point of view.

Creatively intersecting the traditions of landscape film, oral traditions, and political essay, Bicentenario cinematically reveals the collision of history and myth inscribed on the territory of what would become an inevitably failed state - the Great Colombia. THE SOLDIER'S LAGOON (Canada/Colombia, 2024, 77 minutes) Two hundred years after Simón Bolívar's liberation campaign across Colombia, The Soldier's Lagoon retraces The Liberator's journey across the high-altitude marshlands while searching for glimpses of his ghost still present in this historically contested territory. Reflecting on the construction of oral history and its relation to the land, La Laguna del Soldado traverses the páramo, a living and elusive archive, navigating through the dense fog suspended between Simón Bolívar's past and Colombia's present. La Laguna del Soldado is the second in a three-part series of films exploring the intersection of oral narratives, political outcomes, and the territories marked by Simón Bolívar's passage during the Liberation Campaign of Colombia in 1819. The first completed part is Bicentenario (2021). View prices Buy tickets Regular 16,00 $ Other prices

	Miséricorde Monday April 28, 2025 at 17:15 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Fiction Original French version, English subtitles The teasingly entwined ambiguities of love and death continue to fascinate Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake, NYFF51), who returns with a sharp, sinister, yet slyly funny thriller. Set in an autumnal, woodsy village in his native region of Occitanie, his latest follows the meandering exploits of Jérémie (Félix Kysyl), an out-of-work baker who has drifted back to his hometown after the death of his beloved former boss, a bakery owner. Staying long after the funeral, the seemingly benign Jérémie begins to casually insinuate himself into his mentor's family, including his kind-hearted widow (Catherine Frot) and venomously angry son (Jean-Baptiste Durand), while making an increasingly surprising-and ultimately beneficial-friendship with an oddly cheerful local priest (Jacques Develay). In Guiraudie's quietly carnal world, violence and eroticism explode with little anticipation, and criminal behavior can seem like a natural extension of physical desire. The French director is at the top of his game in Misericordia, again upending all genre expectations.

As the hours march deeper into night and the varied clientele depart the waking world, the hotel transforms into an otherworldly, liminal space swaying between the everyday and the enchanting. Gorgeously photographed by Jon Jost (All the Vermeers in New York) with a soundtrack by Simon Jeffes of the legendary Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Nightshift is both a potent snapshot of London's early-'80s art scene (actor/poet Heathcote Williams and filmmaker Anne Rees-Mogg also star) and a bold, instantly engrossing artistic statement from director Robina Rose. A masterwork of surreal, somnambulant cinema, the film casts a resonant spell audiences won't soon forget.
