Our film on 8th December- is Universal Language- from Canada

Film will be screened at 7:30 pm at the Vancouver Arts Centre.

This film is about what happens when you take the cultural traditions of two seemingly distant worlds and fuse them into a chaotically harmonious mosaic.? In "Universal Language", Matthew Rankin crafts a story that's both absurdly specific and oddly universal, examining Canadian identity through the lens of a deeply personal reimagining. The result is an ode to multiculturalism, brimming with ironic humor, cultural parodies, and a warm humanity that transcends linguistic boundaries.

Screenings are for members only but anyone can join us on any screening night and visitors can try us out once for $5 to cover tea and coffee
Bring a plate to share to celebrate Christmas .

Our 10th November is the Norwegian film - Out stealing horses.
This coming-of-age drama ambitiously directed by Hans Petter Molan explores the human condition through one man's lifetime of memories. It is a barbed rejoinder to the optimism of coming of age movies, questioning whether our protagonist ever comes of age at all.

Our 11th August film The Men’s room is from the Norwegian Film Institute
Every Tuesday, 25 middle-aged men take a break from their everyday lives to meet and drink b**r, tell bad jokes and sing rock songs. Now they have got their biggest concert job ever, thanks to festival general Dvein Bjørge, warming up for Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne. But weeks before their big debut, they find out that their choir conductor just has weeks to live, due to cancer. The race is on. Will he experience the big event? Sometimes very funny, other times very sad, this movie will not let you off. The emotional rollercoaster is a gem of a film, and an experience you'll never forget.

Bring a plate to share to celebrate Christmas in July
When the Norwegian-Turkish filmmaker Nefise Özkal Lorentzen was little, she used to send letters to Allah by balloon. By following her grandmother's path as a 'sufi', she embarks on a journey to rediscover the Islam of her mother's mother. The film switches between her actual journey and her dreams. She experiences the diversity of Cairo, Istanbul and Oslo by drinking tea with the Egyptian feminist Nawal El Saadawi, finding hope and inspiration in the life of the 90-year-old author Gamal al-Banna.
