Oh, Canada. We like to call you a mosaic, a land in which people are free to maintain their culture and language, and to a certain extent, this is true. Growing up in Toronto, now living in Montreal, I love to visit Chinatown, Little Italy, Little Portugal, indulge in the foods, music, and languages spoken around me, a slice of the world in my proverbial backyard. And yet, the reality can often be somewhat different. We can begin with being a settler nation and the loss of many indigenous languages, and even today, often immigrants are harassed, or worse, for speaking their native tongue. Our fierce embrace of multiculturalism also means we risk crushing it. Matthew Rankin (The Twentieth Century) is keenly away of this…
Three desperate brothers return to the remote Scottish woodland where they killed their abusive father only to discover his shallow grave is now empty, forcing them to question each another’s loyalty as fear and paranoia set in.
The 2024 edition of the Popcorn Frights Film Festival has concluded, but on a closing note, the Audience and Jury award winners have been announced.

Ever since it was first staged in 2000, FrightFest has enlivened — or perhaps I should say endarkened — central London over the Bank Holiday weekend. Now known as Pigeon Shrine FrightFest, the 2024 edition kicks off tomorrow, Thursday, August 22, with another outstanding edition. Opening night festivities at Odeon Cinemas Leicester Square will kick off with the world premiere of Joanne Mitchell’s Broken Bird, described as: “A rich, absorbing and disturbing tale about a quiet soul in emotional turmoil.

Brought up as a privileged, carefree child, at the age of ten, she lost everything in a tragic accident. A darkness fell over her as the…
Three young sisters — Laura (Bianca Delbravo), Mira (Dilvin Asaad) and Steffi (Safira Mossberg), aged sixteen, twelve and seven — are left to their own devices by the ever-absent mother in a small Swedish town. Their household is chaotic, mischievous and slightly unsanitary, but pretty happy. As the oldest, Laura assumes the role of a “matriarch” and takes care of her sisters; she is also the one most prone to melancholy and uncertainty about what’s to come. On the edge of childhood and adult life, towards which she was already pushed way too early, she feels a bit withdrawn among all the games and playful petty criminal activities, such as stealing food from stores and breaking into richer houses that have a pool. The reality…
