A Special Event Screening + Live Q&A with director Dianne Whelan. 500 Days In The Wild follows the epic 6-year journey of filmmaker Dianne Whelan as she sets out to reconnect with nature and become the first person to travel the world’s longest trail. The 24,000 km Trans Canada Trail stretches across the continent of North America, connecting the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific oceans. It is the longest trail in the world. For six years filmmaker Dianne Whelan traveled the entirety of the land and water trails, the only person to ever accomplish this journey. 500 Days in the Wild recounts Dianne’s journey by bike, canoe, skis, snowshoes and on foot and her cross-cultural visits with those who live close to the land. This feature doc culled from 800 hours of footage is an intricate weave of adventure film, personal reflection and stunning captures of wildlife and landscapes. Using humour, adventure, beautiful cinematography and a great soundtrack (including songs from Joni Mitchell, First Aid Kit, Xavier Rudd, and The Tragically Hip), 500 Days in the Wild will entertain audiences and inspire hope for the future. She started out alone, disillusioned with state of the world, to look for different ways of caring for the land and for each other. She ended the journey a bit wiser, more hopeful, in love and with a passion to share this story. COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, Feature Film Starts 7:30pm, Q&A directly after the featur at 9pm

Miracle Mile is championed by devoted fans, but has escaped being lumped in with other sci-fi films from the 1980s. That uniqueness is what has made it a true cult film. It hinges on one of the most startling tonal switches ever captured on screen. It starts out as a twee rom-com in which a nerdy musician and a waitress meet and fall in love in downtown LA – until a wrong-number call informs them that a nuclear war has broken out, with Soviet missiles due to hit the city in 70 minutes. Much of the movie’s diabolical effectiveness comes from the fact that it never reveals, until the very end, whether the nightmare is real, or only some sort of tragic misunderstanding. 35mm - the only way to experience this one of a kind movie. COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, pre-show 7pm

Acclaimed South Korean director Park Chan-wook's modern classic OLDBOY is back on the big screen. A salaryman is kidnapped, framed for his wife's murder, and held captive for 15 years. Then he's released... and has five days to find out who did it. "A dark and thrillingly horrible adventure into the realms of the unthinkable." - Peter Bradshaw COME EARLY! Doors 7pm, pre-show 7:30pm

After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie, Vern, Chris and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives. "Stand By Me is one of those films that stands up to the test of time... it has a charm and depth that seems to resonate with each generation." - The Telegraph "Scripters have written inspired dialog for this quartet of plucky boys at that hard-to-capture age when they’re still young enough to get scared and yet old enough to want to sneak smokes and cuss." - Variety "The entire cast is superb (River Phoenix & Kiefer Sutherland are stand out) and it so perfectly paced, that the story unfolds with wit, pathos and sensitivity and completely free of emotional shortcuts." - Empire COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, pre-show 7pm

At an all-boys water polo camp, a socially anxious twelve-year-old is pulled into a cruel tradition targeting an outcast with an illness they call “The Plague.” But as the lines between game and reality blur, he fears the joke might be hiding something real. A "Lord of the Flies" metaphor for the hell of modern bullying. The scares are killer, but it’s the violence of the adolescent mind that hits hardest and haunts you longest. "The stark contrast between the way-too-confident-for-his-age Jake and the introverted, insecure Ben underscores how identity at that age calcifies in opposition: one boy armoring himself with swagger, the other shrinking under its weight." - Film Threat "The film’s relentless narrative is expertly performed by a cast of newcomer talent who empathetically portray its heavy subject matter with deliberate psychological intensity." - Next Best Picture COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, pre-show 7pm
