Dreams

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Dreams (1990)


A collection of tales based upon eight of director Akira Kurosawa's recurring dreams.

More than a conventional narrative, Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams is a sequence of vivid visual poems: lush landscapes, vast skies, torrential storms, and painterly worlds inspired by dreams and memory, by emotions that range from horror to ecstasy. On a large screen, the scale and detail of these images become overwhelming in the best possible way, allowing viewers to be immersed in Kurosawa’s vision. 

The theatrical experience also amplifies the film’s extraordinary use of sound and silence, from the gentle rustling of forests to the apocalyptic roar of catastrophe. Seen in a darkened cinema, Dreams feels less like watching a movie and more like stepping inside another consciousness, making the big screen the ideal way to encounter one of cinema’s most visually transcendent works.

Nightbreed - Director's Cut

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Nightbreed - Director's Cut (1990)


Shot across Alberta and set partly in Calgary, Clive Barker’s cult dark-fantasy epic Nightbreed follows Aaron Boone as he is tormented by both a grisly series of murders and by his psychiatrist (played by David Cronenberg), until he finds refuge in Midian, a hidden world inhabited by monsters. 

Despite studio interference upon release, the film has since been critically re-appraised, even described by Alejandro Jodorowsky as “the first truly gay horror fantasy epic.” Best known for his work on Hellraiser and Candyman, Barker reconstructed the Director’s Cut himself, restoring material removed by the studio, and finally realizing the story he always wanted to tell.

Chungking Express

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Chungking Express (1994)


Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express follows two heartbroken Hong Kong police officers drifting through a city where millions of people brush past one another without ever quite connecting. The loneliness the film captured in 1994 feels even more familiar now: we scroll past hundreds of faces a day, constantly connected yet rarely fully present. 

Through pop songs, chance encounters, and the restless rhythm of the city, Wong Kar-wai turns urban isolation into something you feel rather than simply observe. That feeling fully arrives in a cinema, where strangers share the same atmosphere, the same pauses, and the same passing moments in real time.

Playtime

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Playtime (1967)


Jacques Tati's PlayTime is one of the miracles of cinema. By all rights, this is a work of art that should not exist, as the entire apparatus of commercial filmmaking is designed to prevent such a film. Tati, who staked his fortune on the project, built an enormous functioning city on the outskirts of Paris—paved streets, a power plant, working electricity, operating elevators, demountable towers—and shot the picture in 70mm with post-synchronized sound. 

The movie stands as an improbable marriage of the visual grammar of silent cinema and the monumental ambitions of the widescreen epic. Such spatial ambition and visual density are, at first, vertiginous and overwhelming; and then, simply, free and inevitable. What first appears as a genial satire of glass-and-steel modernity opens into something transcendent: a vision of human spontaneity and the insurgency of imagination that erupts through the bureaucratic postwar architecture of control and containment. 

The result, a movie with no real star, no conventional plot, no hierarchy of attention, is the pinnacle of the comedy of democracy. PlayTime demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible, from different seats in the theatre, over the course of a lifetime.

Synopsis:

The Calgary International Film Festival Presents: Rosebush Pruning (2026)


In an opulent villa underneath the Catalonian sun, American siblings Jack, Ed, Anna and Robert wallow in isolation and their inherited fortune, eschewing the demands of their blind father, and seeking love and validation through each other and their latest designer clothes. When Jack, the eldest brother and linchpin of this family, announces he is moving in with his girlfriend, Martha, blood ties are severed and Ed starts to uncover the truth surrounding their mother's death. 

Generational lies begin to unravel, and the fabric of this family slowly begins to disintegrate.

For aspiring comedian Donna Stern, everyday life as a female twenty-something provides ample material for her relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetically herself, joking about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her day-old underwear.

Donna's drunken hookup - and epic lapse in prophylactic judgment - turns out to be the beginning of an unplanned journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Network: 50th Anniversary

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Network: 50th Anniversary (1976)

This media satire, directed by Sidney Lumet from a brilliantly incisive script by Paddy Chayefsky, is an X-ray of the corrupted soul of a corporate-dominated America, startlingly prescient in its anticipation of today’s outrage-driven news cycle. 

At a struggling television network, ambitious executive Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) finds herself with a hit on her hands when disgruntled newscaster Howard Beale (Peter Finch) goes off script, transforming himself into a mad-as-hell prophet railing against the ills of modern society. But can she control the populist revolution they have unleashed on the airwaves? Garnering four Oscars, including for Dunaway, Finch, and Chayefsky, this no-holds-barred New Hollywood classic remains as fearlessly funny as it is unnervingly relevant.
