Now, Voyager

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Now, Voyager (1942)


“Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We have the stars!”

The “Women’s Picture” genre of the 1940s reaches its wish-fulfillment pinnacle in Now, Voyager. Bette Davis gives a performance for the ages as Charlotte Vale, a mentally frail spinster living under the thumb of her domineering mother (Gladys Cooper). Through therapy with a kindly doctor (Claude Rains) and a cruise to South America, Charlotte discovers her true self. Her newfound confidence attracts Jerry (Paul Henreid), and the two begin a passionate affair. Jerry, however, is married, and Charlotte must choose between love and her own liberation.

Now, Voyager proved why Davis was considered the queen of the Warner Bros. studio lot. Nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress Oscars, it won Best Original Score at the 1943 ceremony for Max Steiner’s memorable music.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? - Poster

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)


The most representative film of the “hag-sploitation” genre, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? famously cast two old-school divas, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, in what became a classic psychological horror thriller. Former child star Baby Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) lives with her sister Blanche (Joan Crawford), a former Hollywood queen. Bound by mutual love and hate, Baby Jane’s increasing madness leads to shocking consequences.

Astutely directed by Robert Aldrich and featuring two once A-list actresses in roles that both exploit and celebrate their legacies, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is a must-see for any serious film fan. It was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Actress.


Genre: Drama, Horror

Director: Robert Aldrich  
Stars: Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Victor Buono                 
Running time: 2 hr 14 min

Dead Mountaineer's Hotel

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Dead Mountaineer's Hotel (1979)

From the writers of Andrei Tarkovsky's STALKER (1979) comes a Soviet/Estonian psychedelic paranoid murder mystery that plays like a cross between Alfred Hitchcock and Dario Argento. 

This icy genre-bending ‘70s Eastern European whodunit with a superb minimalist electronic score has been a long-standing cult classic waiting to happen. When Inspector Glebsky arrives at a remote ski chalet on vacation, the last thing he intends to do is get involved in police work. 

He's there to ski, drink brandy and loaf around. But he hadn’t counted on the other vacationers: an eccentric bunch including a famous hypnotist, a terrorist, a physicist with a penchant for gymnastic feats, a sulky androgynous teen and the mysterious glammed-up Mr. and Mrs. Moses. The strange, poetic rhythm of DEAD MOUNTAINEER’S HOTEL and its is best absorbed on the big screen, with a throng of equally entranced audience members at your side.

Genre: Mystery, Thriller

Director: Grigori Kromanov
Stars: Uldis Pucitis, Juri Jarvet, Lembit Peterson   
Running time: 1 hr 24 min

Analogue Revolution: How Feminist Media Changed the World - Poster

Analogue Revolution: How Feminist Media Changed the World

Synopsis:


A League of Their Own Presents: Analogue Revolution: How Feminist Media Changed the World (2023)

“Before there was #MeToo, there was Toronto’s Diva: A Quarterly Journal of South Asian Women, Montreal’s Groupe Intervention Vidéo and Dykes on Mykes Radio Show, and the women-led Studio D of the National Film Board of Canada. 

The list extends into the hundreds. All Canadian, all feminist, and all trailblazing media of the late 60s to mid-90s.”

-Image et Nation Film Festival Catalogue

This feature-length documentary traces the rise and fall of analogue feminist communications that preceded the MeToo era. From Halifax to Vancouver, feminist storytellers of the 1970s to 1990s took hold of cutting-edge media technology to document everything from racism in the women's movement, to how to insert a diaphragm. 

The film includes rare archival footage, like African American feminist poet Audre Lorde's speech at the Third International Feminist Book Fair (Montreal 1988) and pro-choice demonstrations in the 1980's, leading to the film’s
climax: draconian cutbacks to women’s and lesbian organizations across Canada, following the massacre of women at École Polytechnique in Montreal, 1989. Cutbacks, racism, and moral panics then decimated an intricate, sophisticated, and world-changing feminist media movement. 

The film concludes with a resurgence and a сall to action: young BIPOC feminists using analogue strategies to create new feminist digital networks.

Genre: Documentary

Director: Marusya Bociurkiw
Stars: Linda Abrahams, Leela Acharya, Zanana Akande    
Running time: 1 hr 34 min 
Rating: 14A (Nudity)

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Devils (1971)

Based on Aldous Huxley’s novel “The Devils of Loudun” and John Whiting’s play “The Devils,” Ken Russell’s X-rated spectacle of the depraved stars Vanessa Redgrave as a hunchbacked nun whose lust for priest Father Grandier (Oliver Reed) sets off a perverse witch hunt and unleashes an orgy of sadomasochistic sacrilege.

Director: Ken Russell
Stars: Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, Dudley Sutton
