OPENS FRIDAY, JULY 13

FilmworkerD: Tony Zierra | 2018 | USA | 98 min

Nominated—Golden Eye Award, Cannes Film Festival 2017

Stanley Kubrick, the most meticulous genius in film history, crafted ambitious masterpieces that pushed the boundaries of the medium—but he also pushed those around him in order to achieve his vision. Meet Leon Vitali, who played Lord Bullingdon in Barry Lyndon and then stepped out of the limelight to become Kubrick’s right-hand man. An unsung hero, Vitali worked tirelessly from the shadows to help make and maintain Kubrick’s extraordinary legacy of work. Featuring previously-unseen photos, videos and letters, Filmworker is a portrait of a legend through the unique perspective of one of the people who knew him best.

“Radiates an elegance that seems like an anomaly in this shallow age of Trump-style glitz.” – Rolling Stone


Always at The CarlyleD: Matthew Miele | 2018 | USA | 92 min

For nearly a century Manhattan’s most famous and exclusive hotel, The Carlyle, has been the epitome of Upper East Side elegance and a bastion of celebrity culture. Director Matthew Miele brings you inside the hotel’s storied walls and reveals some of its greatest tales and secrets. Always at The Carlyle features interviews with employees and a star-studded roster of guests who share their favourite stories, including George Clooney, Anjelica Huston, Vera Wang, Anthony Bourdain, Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Jon Hamm, and Lenny Kravitz.


The Oslo DiariesD: Mor Loushy, Daniel Sivan | 2018 | Canada, Israel | 97 min

In 1992, just as Israeli-Palestinian relations were at an all-time low, the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Israeli government took an unprecedented step: They set up secret peace talks in Oslo, Norway. Using extensive archival footage and interviews, this Sundance and Hot Docs favourite takes a rare behind-the-scenes look at the process that resulted in the Oslo Accords, offering a much-needed narrative about the possibility for hope and fair negotiations in the face of present-day tensions in the Middle East.“Shows how close we came to peace

in the Middle East.” – NOW

Hitler’s HollywoodD: Rüdiger Suchsland | 2017 | Germany | 105 min

Director Rüdiger Suchsland takes a startling look at Hitler’s Germany through the lens of its greatest propaganda device, the cinema. Between 1933-1945, under the watchful eye of chief propagandist Joseph Goebells, the Third Reich produced over 1000 features—musicals, melodramas, costume dramas—that grew even more lavish as the horrors behind the camera escalated. Featuring extensive footage from key films of the period narrated by actor Udo Kier, Hitler’s Hollywood shows us how the Nazi regime spread their myths, illusions and ideologies through the movie screens and into the minds of millions.

Letter from MasanjiaD: Leon Lee | 2018 | Canada | 75 min

When a woman in Oregon opens a box of Halloween decorations and finds an SOS letter penned by a political prisoner from inside a Chinese labour camp, her discovery makes waves across major news outlets worldwide. Meanwhile, the author of letter, Sun Yi, breaks through internet firewalls to learn about the media attention and joins forces with an underground network of journalists and Chinese dissidents to reveal his entire story. From Peabody Award-winning director Leon Lee, Letter from Masanjia exposes China’s appalling human rights violations through the eyes of Sun Yi, who will stop at nothing to find justice.

Director Leon Lee will join us for a post-screening Q&A on July 22 and 23.

“The most insightful and comprehensive profile of the icon ever been captured on camera.” – Indiewire


The KingD: Eugene Jarecki | 2017 | USA, Germany | 107 min

Hit the road in Elvis Presley’s 1963 Rolls-Royce and join award-winning filmmaker Eugene Jarecki (Trials of Henry Kissinger, Why We Fight) on a musical road trip across America. Much more than a simple tribute to the King, this ambitious documentary looks at his rise and fall as a metaphor for the changing country he left behind, and the transformation of the American Dream all the way up to the age of Trump. From Memphis to New York to Las Vegas, and featuring appearances from Rosanne Cash, Chuck D, Emmylou Harris, Ethan Hawke, Mike Myers and more, The King is a rich and moving portrait of America and one of its greatest icons.

“A stunningly deeply resonant documentary.” – RogerEbert.com


Generation WealthD: Lauren Greenfield | 2018 | USA | 106 min

Artist-photographer-filmmaker Lauren Greenfield (The Queen of Versailles) has made a career chronicling the excesses of America’s image-obsessed culture. In her latest and most epic project to date, she holds up a mirror to the super-rich, brilliantly capturing the human consequences of the bust-or-boom economy. Follow Greenfield on a globe-spanning journey inside the lives of the international wealthy elite—from child beauty queens in Los Angeles to the nouveau riche in Moscow. The resulting portrait is an entertaining and eye-opening look at the erosion of the American Dream and pervasive influences of materialism, greed and fame.

Westwood: Punk, Icon, ActivistD: Lorna Tucker | 2018 | UK | 83 min | PG

With a legacy that only continues to grow, designer Vivienne Westwood has gone from igniting the punk movement to redefining British fashion to becoming an outspoken activist. This documentary brings you as close as possible to the fearless icon—although she’s characteristically not always on her best behaviour. As Westwood continues to expand her bold vision and battles to maintain the integrity of her brand, she looks back on her journey and greatest accomplishments throughout her groundbreaking career.

“A gloriously eccentric one-off and a fashion original.” – The Guardian

RBGD: Julie Cohen, Betsy West | 2018 | USA | 97 min

The so-called “Notorious RBG,” U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has developed a trailblazing legal legacy while becoming an unexpected internet icon. From filmmakers Betsy West and Julie Cohen, this Sundance hit chronicles Ginsburg’s extraordinary life and career—from her early legal battles for gender equality and her work with the ACLU, to her unlikely rise to the head of the Supreme Court. Featuring interviews with Gloria Steinem, Nina Totenberg, and more, RBG offers an unprecedented glimpse at what makes Ginsburg a cultural icon, feminist crusader and history maker.

The Accountant of AuschwitzD: Matthew Shoychet | 2018 | Canada | 78 min | PG

Oskar Gröning, known as the “Accountant of Auschwitz,” was charged with the murder of 300,000 Jews. When he took the stand in 2015, at the age of 94, his trial made headlines worldwide. For some, there is no grey area: Gröning was witness and therefore complicit. Others look at a frail man in the last years of his life and see no reason to pursue charges. Is the former SS guard an accomplice to history’s worst genocide, or a scapegoat for a country still desperate to atone for its crimes? On our screen after sold-out screenings at this year’s Festival, The Accountant of Auschwitz is a stark reminder that those who forget justice are doomed to repeat it.

Anote’s ArkD: Matthieu Rytz | 77 min | 2018 | Canada

The Pacific Island nation of Kiribati is one of the most remote places on the planet, yet it is one of the first countries that must confront the pressing dangers of rising sea levels. Kiribati’s President Anote Tong races to find a way to protect his nation from imminent disappearance —while on ground level, a young mother of six seeks to migrate her family to New Zealand. Anote’s Ark is a sweeping cautionary tale about the undeniable forces of climate change, and a poignant portrait of a people’s fight for survival.

Director Matthieu Rytz will join us for a Skype Q&A following the screening.

The National: Mistaken For StrangersD: Tom Berninger | 75 min | 2013 | USA | 14A

It’s 2010, and indie rockers The National have reached new heights of success. As the band sets out on their biggest tour to date, frontman Matt Berninger hires his younger brother Tom, a slacker and aspiring horror filmmaker, as a roadie. When Tom unexpectedly shows up camera in hand, he ignores his work, starts filming and creates “the funniest, most meta music movie since Spinal Tap.” In anticipation of The National’s August 4th concert at Fort York, join us for this endearingly original musical story about family, ambition, and creating something of your own.
