Our 2026-2027 season opener is BLUE HERON. This highly acclaimed film will be screened on Wednesday, September 9th at 7:00 p.m.
Set in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight-year-old Sasha and her Hungarian immigrant family as they settle into a new home on Vancouver Island. As their fragile peace is disrupted by the increasingly dangerous behaviour of Sasha’s oldest brother, Jeremy, adult Sasha revisits fragments of her childhood through home videos and memories, confronting the grief and silence that shaped her family.
Included on The Globe and Mail’s list of the 100 Best Canadian Films Ever Made, Sophy Romvari’s acclaimed feature debut is a powerful, deeply personal film that deserves to be experienced on the big screen.
Winner, Best Canadian Discovery Award, TIFF ’25
