Gummo

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Gummo (1997)

Harmony Korine’s debut feature is an audacious, lyrical evocation of America’s rural underbelly, and an elegy in the southern-gothic tradition of William Faulkner and William Eggleston. Shot in Korine’s native Nashville—standing in for the tornado-ravaged Xenia, Ohio—the rough-hewn film follows two young friends, Tummler and Solomon, as they ride around town, huffing glue and hunting stray cats, their every local encounter charged with vaudevillian anarchy as well as deep pathos. 

At once transgressive and empathetic, disturbing and undeniably beautiful, Gummo is a one-of-a-kind portrait of angelic and devilish souls caught in a cultural void, circumscribed by poverty and the depleted, alienated spiritual life of late-twentieth-century America.


Genre: Drama, Comedy

Director: Harmony Korine
Stars: Nick Sutton, Jacob Sewell, Lara Tosh               
Running time: 1 hr 29 min

Lucky Star

Synopsis:



Globe Cinema & Kino Sum Productions Presents: Lucky Star (2024)

When reformed gambler Lucky falls victim to a tax scam, he returns to playing poker to make the money back. Meanwhile, his family tries to make ends meet by resorting to their own morally dubious strategies. Lucky Star is a family drama about fatherly love, deceit, and redemption, and a slice of life from the Chinese-prairie diaspora.

Filmed in Calgary and written and directed by local filmmaker Gillian McKercher, LUCKY STAR (2024) is an authentic view into the lives of those who inspired the film.

"Within every family are its own legends and failures – mine is no exception. Family gossip tells me that my great-grandfather gambled an entire block of Calgary’s Chinatown away in a single night of cards. There are more verifiable stories where the men in my life have gambled, while their tough mothers, wives, and daughters
held everything together. And yet, through it all, we’ve loved each other, and we’ve moved on. That's the dynamic I wanted to bring to Lucky Star." -  Gillian McKercher


Select dates will include a Q&A session after the film:

Friday, May 9th | 7:30 PM - Q&A with Lead Actor Terry Chen moderated by Producer Guillaume Carlier

Saturday, May 10th | 7:30 PM - Q&A with Director and Writer Gillian McKercher

Little Darlings

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Little Darlings (1980)


At summer camp, two 15-year-old rivals from different walks of life are pressured by their fellow campers into competing in a contest: the first girl to lose her virginity will be declared the winner. While the premise sounds like something out of the American Pie franchise, this film has more in common with a coming-of-age drama than a screwball comedy.

Due to rights issues related to the music, the film was once lost in time. It finally received a long-overdue release in 2024 after being confined to VHS for over 40 years. The film stars Oscar-winning actress Tatum O’Neal and Kristy McNichol as her competitor, alongside Matt Dillon in one of his early screen roles.

Genre: Comedy

Director: Ron Maxwell
Stars: Tatum O'Neal, Kristy McNichol, Armand Assante                 
Running time: 1 hr 36 min 
Rating: 14A

Foxes

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Foxes (1980)


This coming-of-age story follows four teenagers living in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley. The film exudes punk rock energy, thanks to an outstanding performance by rock legend Cherie Currie of The Runaways.

The four girls face a myriad of challenges: a divorced mom who's dating again, abusive boyfriends, addiction, and party-crashing classmates. While the teens long to appear mature, things never quite go as planned. The film perfectly captures the malaise of early adulthood—too young for sophisticated dinner parties, too old for childish games.

Two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster stars as Jeanie, with a brief cameo from Laura Dern.

Genre: Drama

Director: Adrian Lyne
Stars: Jodie Foster, Cherie Currie, Marilyn Kagan                   
Running time: 1 hr 46 min 
Rating: 14A

Alongside a radio DJ (Tim Curry) who updates his listeners on their exploits, the two become cult heroes to many young girls in the city. Set to a backdrop of punk rock music, the film embodies the youthful urge to push back against authority.

I Don't Understand You

Synopsis:

The Calgary International Film Festival Presents: I Don't Understand You (2024)


An American couple, on the verge of adopting a baby, goes on an Italian vacation — an opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect; the epitome of a European baby moon, when things begin to spiral out of control. 

On the way to dinner, they get their rental car stuck in a ditch and are stranded in rural nowhere in a downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land without service, an Italian language comprehension of about zero, and clear relationship turmoil that could explode at any minute. Fear obviously takes over.

Genre: Comedy

Director: David Joseph Craig, Brian Crano 
Stars: Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells, Morgan Spector                      
Running time: 1 hr 36 min

It Feeds

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: It Feeds (2025)

Cynthia and her adolescent daughter Jordan run a home psychiatry practice that seems normal to the outside world but behind closed doors, Cynthia has a unique ability. She's a clairvoyant who can mind-meld and can see into another person's consciousness. A practice she keeps very secret and rarely uses as it's not accepted by the general public. 

When a young girl bursts into their home office claiming an entity is feeding on her, Cynthia is quick to turn her away. They deal in personal trauma, not with whatever is attached to the girl. Jordan, shocked that her mother refused to help, decides to go after the young girl unknowingly putting herself in the path of something far more dangerous than she could ever imagine.

Fallen Angels - Poster

Fallen Angels

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Fallen Angels (1995)

Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. 

Originally conceived as a segment of CHUNKING EXPRESS (1994) only to spin off on its own woozy axis, this hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. 

Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, Fallen Angels is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.


Genre: Comedy, Crime

Director: Wong Kar-Wai
Stars: Leon Lai, Michelle Reis, Takeshi Kaneshiro          
Running time: 1 hr 39 min
Rating: 14A (Violence)
