Emma (1996)

December 16 marks literary icon Jane Austen’s 250th birthday, and we’re teaming up with The Jane Austen Society of Vancouver to celebrate her enduring legacy with a double bill featuring two beloved (and very different!) cinematic adaptations of her classic romantic novel, “Emma” featuring screenings of EMMA and CLUELESS.

Weapons

Following up the indie appeal of 2022’s BARBARIAN, writer-director Zach Cregger‘s WEAPONS was one of the breakout titles that excited genre fans the most in 2025, thanks to its utterly compelling blend of inventive non-linear storytelling that mixed humor and genuine scares supported by a stellar cast that drove a

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair

Quentin Tarantino‘s KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR unites Volume 1 and Volume 2 into a single, unrated epic–presented exactly as he intended, complete with a new, never-before-seen anime sequence. Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, left for dead after her former boss and lover Bill ambushes her wedding

Female Trouble

“I hate you, I hate this house, and I hate Christmas!” In celebration of filmmaker and legendary raconteur John Waters‘ recent live performances at the Rio Theatre, we thought it was only fitting to filth up our seasonal programming with the second film in the “Pope of Trash’s”

Part documentary and part dark comedy, this is motorcycling as

Paran

Paran (2025) is a heartfelt Nepali family drama that follows Dharmanath, a devoted father whose world revolves around the warmth, laughter, and presence of his children. As life takes them abroad in search of dreams, he is left confronting the quiet loneliness of an empty home. Through tender moments,

It Was Just an Accident

Acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi‘s IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT seems to mine much of its inspiration from his own life as a noted political dissident, with its plot centered on a former political prisoner who believes he has found his torturer. The film follows Vahed, an unassuming Azerbaijani mechanic and former
