Fragments of Paradise

For over 70 years, Jonas Mekas, internationally known as the "godfather" of avant-garde cinema, documented his life in what came to be known as his diary films. From his arrival in New York City as a displaced person in 1949 to his death in 2019, he chronicled the trauma and loss of exile while pioneering institutions to support the growth of independent film in the United States. Fragments of Paradise is an intimate look at his life and work constructed from thousands of hours of his own video and film diaries-including never-before-seen tapes and unpublished audio recordings. It is a story about finding beauty amidst profound loss, and a man who tried to make sense of it all... with a camera.

Sedna, Empress of the Sea

SEDNA, EMPRESS OF THE SEA is an animated, action-adventure about one of the most compelling Indigenous legends of all time. It’s the story of Sedna, a courageous young Inuit girl who kidnapped by an evil raven, escapes by kayak, only to end up at the bottom of the sea where she becomes the ruler of the sea animals. Though a light-hearted musical, the film uses metaphors and allegory to introduce children to the concept of residential schools and their impact on Indigenous children and families.

Serving Elizabeth

In Kenya in 1952, Mercy, a restaurant proprietor, is hired to cater the impending visit of Princess Elizabeth, soon to be Queen. In 2015, another story unfolds in London, England, where a young Kenyan-born Canadian, Tia, is working as an intern on a TV drama series about the British royal family – while also pursuing a writing project of her own. These parallel narratives seem only coincidentally connected – until a surprising twist reveals a deeper relationship between the two.

My Inner Demon: A Geraldson Tale

Despite a bitter depression over the poor reception of his debut film, "Murder Box", in September of 2020, filmmaker/comedian Gerald Varga, aka "Gerry Geraldson", began work on a new creative endeavor. In November of 2020, Gerald Varga, his roommate, actor David Quast, and Gerald's long-time collaborator, Darren Andrichuk, were all reported missing. Evidence at the residence shared by Varga and Quast seemed to suggest foul play, though no bodies were ever recovered. In the spring of 2021, an anonymous colleague of Gerald Varga's received a package containing all the raw footage for "My Inner Demon: A Geraldson Tale" along with extensive notes detailing how it was to be cut. The film you are about to see comprises the chief piece of evidence in this ongoing investigation and offers the only clues as to what really happened to Gerald Varga, David Quast, and Darren Andrichuk.
