The Fin

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Fin (2025)

In the dystopian post-war ”United Korea,” mutated mermen called Omegas are society’s outcasts–-exploited as cheap labor in an ecologically decimated, water-poor landscape. As one of these pariahs dies of over-exertion, he tasks a colleague (Goh-woo) with finding his daughter Mia (Yeon Yeji) hiding among humans, so she may receive his fin in a rite of passing. Meanwhile, Sujin (Kim Pureum), a young civil servant, begins doubting the state’s ideology as she pursues the Omega for her own purposes.

With The Fin, director Park Syeyoung (The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra) emerges with a unique eye for artful, experimental genre cinema. This vision of societal collapse unfolds as a formalist’s fever dream pushing the boundaries of digital cinema with expressionistic, richly saturated images capturing the contours of post-industrial decay, in an impressive feat of worldbuilding. A potent critique of xenophobia and South Korea’s reckless economic growth despite dawning ecological, economic and geopolitical challenges, The Fin reinvigorates South Korean independent cinema, light years ahead of its more formulaic tendencies.

Genre: Drama, Sci-Fi

Director: Syeyoung Park 
Stars: Yeji Yeon, Pureum Kim, Goh-woo

Synopsis:

The Calgary Underground Film Festival Presents: CUFF.Docs Documentary Film Festival


CUFF.Docs Documentary Film Festival showcases the best in non-fiction films. The event presented by the Calgary Underground Film Festival screens 15+ full-length features, as well as shorts, varying in subject, style and genres within the art form. The 14th CUFF.Docs takes place from November 18-22, 2026 at Globe Cinema.

CUFF.Docs is the perfect place for anyone with the same intrigue and interest in factual content as we have. We’ll bring guests with the films, and plan for a unique CUFF-experience with the festival, and the films we present. We aim to promote art and encourage dialogue.

At CUFF.Docs, the quality of the film is what matters most; we don't book films to make political statements or advocate for particular issues. Instead, we hope to present a range of films that both confirm and challenge beliefs, promoting a sense of wonder and a healthy skepticism, and above all, that continue to advance the medium of documentary filmmaking.

The Calgary Underground Film Festival loves supporting independent film, and with a great team and passionate supporters, we elevate Calgary's cultural landscape.

Synopsis:

Muslim Voices for Palestine Presents: Naza (2026)


Join Muslim Voices for Palestine (MVP) and Muslimi for a screening of Naza 2026, bringing our community together through film, dialogue, and collective engagement.

Grounded in the concept of the witnessing nation, the screening considers what it means to bear witness to the realities of our time — not as passive observers, but as a community with a responsibility to remember, speak, organize, and act. Witnessing must extend beyond recognition; it calls for meaningful solidarity, mobilization, and a commitment to turning awareness into action.

Hosted by Muslim Voices for Palestine and Muslimi, organizations working to foster an informed, engaged, and active Muslim community.

Fire Music: The Story of Free Jazz

Synopsis:


Blackbyrd Myoozik Calgary Presents: Fire Music: The Story of Free Jazz (2021)

Although the free jazz movement of the 1960s and '70s was much maligned in some jazz circles, its pioneers - brilliant talents like Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, and John Coltrane - are today acknowledged as central to the evolution of jazz as America's most innovative art form. 

FIRE MUSIC showcases the architects of a movement whose radical brand of improvisation pushed harmonic and rhythmic boundaries, and produced landmark albums like Coleman's Free Jazz: A Collective Inspiration and Coltrane's Ascension. A rich trove of archival footage conjures the 1960s jazz scene along with incisive reflections by critic Gary Giddins and a number of the movement's key players.

Genre: Documentary, Music

Director: Tom Surgal
Stars: Rashied Ali, Albert Ayler, Carla Bley              
Running time: 1 hr 28 min

Basic Instinct - Poster

Basic Instinct

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Basic Instinct (1992)


Basic Instinct was the most talked about film of 1992, and while most of the buzz centered around the most famous leg crossing scene in movie history, the film has far more to offer than that one moment. Basic Instinct pushed the erotic thriller to unprecedented heights; never before had mainstream American audiences been confronted with such a potent fusion of sexuality and violence.

Directed by Dutch provocateur Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Showgirls, Starship Troopers), the movie begins as a detective story about an unsolved murder filled with complex, morally slippery characters. Michael Douglas, returning to the genre he helped popularize in Fatal Attraction, is investigating the brutal killing of an aging rock star, and all signs point to the victim’s girlfriend - Sharon Stone in a career defining role. This was a movie destined to rise or fall on her performance, and she delivered something electric. In lesser hands, Basic Instinct might have faded into obscurity, but Stone and Douglas give performances so sharp and commanding that the film towers above its peers and cements itself as a defining pillar of the genre, unleashing a wave of imitators that flooded the decade to come.

Genre: Drama, Thriller

Director: Paul Verhoeven
Stars: Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, George Dzundza                
Running time: 2 hr 07 min 
Rating: 18A (Sexual Violence, Sexual Content)

Bound

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Bound (1996)


The erotic thrillers of the 90s mostly depicted their subjects through a heteronormative lens — but Bound didn’t just break the mold, it blew it apart. Join us for a night of pure, pulse pounding queer cinema as we present this trailblazing classic.The Wachowskis deliver a lesbian love story crackling with neo noir danger and erotic heat, a film that slinks between genres and dominates both.

Gena Gershon plays an ex-con hired to fix up a dingy apartment. Next door lives Jennifer Tilly, a mobster’s girlfriend with a voice like velvet and a gaze sharp enough to cut glass. One chance encounter in an elevator sparks instant chemistry. But the erotic tension is only half the thrill. Equally gripping is the crime plot woven through the film. The two lovers hatch a plan to steal $2 million from the mob, and as their scheme unfolds, we’re pulled deeper into their world, as each obstacle tightens the tension like a rope coiling around the audience until the Wachowskis snap it loose with an explosive conclusion.

Bound was the first feature film from the siblings who would go on to create The Matrix. Though it was a mild box office performer, critics adored it; and it has gone on to become a queer cinema cult classic. Drawing inspiration from Billy Wilder and classic noir, the Wachowskis crafted a film years ahead of its time — one that shattered boundaries the moment it hit the screen.

Genre: Crime, Thriller

Director: Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski 
Stars: Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon, Joe Pantoliano                  
Running time: 1 hr 49 min 
Rating: 18A

Cruel Intentions - Poster

Cruel Intentions

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Cruel Intentions (1999)


Slaking a thirst for dangerous games, Kathryn challenges her stepbrother, Sebastian, to deflower their headmaster's daughter before the summer ends. If he succeeds, the prize is the chance to bed Kathryn. But if he loses, Kathryn will claim his most prized possession.

Set in upscale New York and filmed in stunning locations, the movie surrounds you with beautiful people doing deliciously ugly deeds. A remake of the 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons — itself adapted from the 1782 French novel Les Liaisons dangereuses — the story trades aristocratic France for the glossy, privileged world of 1990s Manhattan. The plot centers on two wealthy, promiscuous step-siblings who spend their carefree days using sex and corruption as entertainment, never pausing to consider the consequences. 

Ryan Phillippe plays the rich dilettante bored with his successes, with Sarah Michelle Geller as the scheming step-sister who propose a challenge he can't resist, one she's certain he can't win: If he can persuade a young and innocent moral crusader, played by Reese Witherspoon, to sleep with him, he wins the prize he’s always wanted but never attained: sex with his stepsister. As the game unfolds, relentless schemes and double dealings become less of a threat than the possibility of true love, and the inevitable tragedy it leads to.

Guiding us through this wicked tale is one of the decade’s most memorable soundtracks. Packed with ’90s classics from The Counting Crows, Fatboy Slim, and Placebo, the film builds to a perfect emotional crescendo with The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony,” a needledrop that has become iconic in its own right.

Genre: Drama, Romance

Director: Roger Kumble 
Stars: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon                    
Running time: 1 hr 37 min 
Rating: 14A (Coarse Language, Sexually Suggestive Scenes)

Eyes Wide Shut

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Eyes Wide Shut (1999)


After Dr. Bill Harford's wife, Alice, admits to having sexual fantasies about a man she met, Bill becomes obsessed with having a sexual encounter. He discovers an underground sexual group and attends one of their meetings -- and quickly discovers that he is in over his head.

Grab your mask, loosen your inhibitions, and let Calgary Cinematheque guide you into the shadowy allure of Stanley Kubrick’s final film - an erotic odyssey which invites you to wander alongside Tom Cruise as he drifts into a world of masked strangers, forbidden rituals, and a password you absolutely must remember: Fidelio. It’s the perfect antidote to holiday cheer — a film that unwraps desire, mystery, and danger with every slow, deliberate frame.

Adapted from the 1926 novella Dream Story, Eyes Wide Shut became the final erotic thriller of the decade — and arguably the most anticipated. Rumors swirled for years about its secretive production and its provocative content. Expectations only intensified when Kubrick passed away shortly after finishing the film, making it his last cinematic statement. Casting real life power couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman added an undeniable layer of voyeuristic curiosity — audiences couldn’t help wondering how much of their onscreen intimacy reflected their offscreen marriage.

The story follows a married New York couple whose relationship is shaken after a late night, drug tinged confession.What unfolds over the next 48 hours is a journey fueled by jealousy, wounded pride, and a desperate need to reclaim control, leading to a clandestine gathering of the wealthy elite, a ritualistic masked ceremony that will push the husband far beyond the boundaries of his comfortable life.


For all its psychological tension, Eyes Wide Shut is surprisingly cozy. Kubrick drenches the film in Christmas atmosphere: glowing trees, vintage lights, warm interiors, and the soft hum of holiday décor. He shoots Cruise drifting through a cold, dreamlike 1990s New York with such precision that we feel like we’re walking beside him, wrapped in the same eerie winter glow. It’s the perfect film to close the series — unsettling, mesmerizing, and strangely comforting. By the time the credits roll, you may find yourself adding Eyes Wide Shut to your annual holiday rotation, right alongside the more traditional seasonal classics.



Genre: Drama, Thriller

Director: Stanley Kubrick 
Stars: Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Todd Field                      
Running time: 2 hr 39 min
