Film-Forward

Rebel

A musical tragedy set against the backdrop of war that is equal parts gritty, sad, and surreal.

Farewell My Concubine (1993)

Chen Kaige’s epic has returned in all its visual splendor and with 14 minutes restored.

The Storms of Jeremy Thomas

Filmmaker Mark Cousins takes a road trip to Cannes, and down film’s memory lane, with producer Jeremy Thomas.

Shayda | TIFF 2023

Australia’s submission for the Best International Feature Film Academy Award.

American Fiction | TIFF 2023

Fashion docs tend to be fawning anyway, but this one has a subject worthy of fawning over.

Flora and Son | TIFF 2023

With a main character spouting piss, spit, and vinegar, as well as raunchy talk, John Carney’s latest has an edge—and an R rating.
