Ugly Cry

Synopsis:

The Calgary Underground Film Festival Presents: Ugly Cry (2026)


An actor loses their dream role because of their "ugly cry" — causing them to spiral down the dark and dangerous path to perfection.

When Delaney's (writer-director Emily Robinson) boyfriend leaves town to shoot a splashy zombie movie, she becomes obsessed with a character she's auditioning for after she learns the producers think she has an "ugly cry." But when she tries to make her cry prettier, her performance suffers. Can she contort herself, and her face, to have the perfect cry?

Her attempts to change herself cause Young Delaney to haunt her, catapulting present-day Delaney deeper down the rabbit hole. She isolates herself and grows increasingly delusional, and interested in physical fixes to her acting problem. How can she make the world see her as she sees herself? How can she become and become and become? She will become famous. Or die trying.

Fatherland

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Fatherland (2026)

FATHERLAND centres on the relationship between the Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller) - actress, writer and rally driver. In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, father and daughter embark on a challenging and emotional road trip in a black Buick taking them across a Germany in ruins - from US dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar. Returning home after sixteen years of exile in the US,
Thomas Mann has to face not only a divided fatherland, but also a deep fracture within his own family.

With FATHERLAND, Pawlikowski picks up where he left off with his award-winning Ida and Cold War, exploring – in his elliptic, distilled style - the themes of identity, family, love and guilt amid the turmoil and confusion of post-war Europe.

Ken Russell's The Devils: Director's Cut

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Ken Russell's The Devils: 4K Restoration (1971)

The most controversial film of the 1970s was banned across the world for its deliriously overheated, shockingly blasphemous tale of sexual frenzy and demonic possession in a seventeenth-century French convent. 

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.

Newly restored in its full runtime and in 4K, this is a must see for the uninitiated as well as the devout followers of its cult influence.

Genre: Drama

Director: Ken Russell
Stars: Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, Dudley Sutton                           
Running time: 1 hr 54 min

Tabu: A Story of the South Seas - Poster

Tabu: A Story of the South Seas

Synopsis:

The Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Tabu: A Story of the South Seas (1931)


The final film of F.W. Murnau, Tabu exists in a context with several other "Polynesian paradise" films of the 1920s such as Moana (1926) by Robert Flaherty and White Shadows in the South Seas (1928) by W.S. Van Dyke, both of which filmed on location in Tahiti.

Flaherty is the "father of the documentary" thanks to his early works of what is now considered "docufiction" such as Nanook of the North (1922) and he partnered with Murnau for this new picture, which has a more explicitly dramatic tone but was still shot on location in Tahiti with native Tahitian performers in the roles. The beautiful cinematography of Floyd Crosby won a second Academy Award for both a Murnau film and a Tahitian-shot film. Taking the form of a classic love story, Tabu was praised by critics and a hit with audiences at the time, but suffers from "noble savage" stereotypes prevalent at the time. Nevertheless, its gorgeous visuals and timeless story make it a fitting end to Murnau's career, as he passed away in a tragic car accident soon after the film's release. 


Genre: Adventure, Drama

Director: F.W. Murnau
Stars: Anne Chevalier, Matahi, Hitu                  
Running time: 1 hr 26 min
